Oscar Nominees to Prepare Two Speeches

As strange as it may sound, the producers of this year’s Oscar broadcast have asked the nominees to prepare two speeches in the even that they win. The idea is that the winners will deliver a speech on stage in front of the millions of viewers around the world where they touch on what the Oscar means to them or something in that vein. They’ll then go backstage, where a camera will be set up for them to share all of their thank yous with the hundreds of people watching online. While it will probably make for some more interesting speeches, it does kind of suck for the people getting thanked. Of course, the nominees can (and probably will) completely disregard this rule.
