Oscars 2018 will focus on films, not politics, producer says

Talk of the #MeToo and Time's Up movements have punctuated 2018 awards shows, but the Oscars will be more focused on films, according to one producer.

Jennifer Todd, one of the lead producers of the show, told The New York Times that viewers should expect an "entertaining" show that is "reverential and respectful but also fun and emotional."

“The Oscars should be a spectacle. Fun and funny and great performances," she said. “It should also be a giant commercial for the movie business, which we all need to keep going."

Channing Dungey, president of entertainment at ABC, added that the message of the Time's Up movement will be heard.
