Big Change at This Year’s Oscars: Thanked Names on Screen

Jezebel reports a long-overdue innovation in this year’s Oscar ceremony: nominees will have the opportunity to submit their list of people to thank before the show, so that they can run across the bottom of the screen. This will give the awardees the chance to say something more than a list of “who am I forgetting” names and give the people being thanked the recognition they deserve.
