Jon Cassar is an award-winning Hollywood director/producer whose credits include the TV series “24,” “The Kennedys,” “La Femme Nikita,” and many other shows. He’s also a devoted viewer of the Academy Awards. Like fans of all backgrounds, he was not turned on by Sunday’s Oscars program. Cassar tweeted a series of tips and advice for the producers of the event, which he said lacked class and gravity.
Is anyone in charge listening?

#Oscars – the other odd decision. They want to appeal to younger audience yet the musical numbers (except Les Mis) couldn't have been older

The Presidential Inauguration and the #Oscars were the two classiest events on live TV. Not anymore.

#Oscars – should be about the movies, & the people that make them. Its a night of respect 4 those individuals who produce the films we see

Hear, hear:
#Oscars – I'd even ban the red carpet fashion parade and have intelligent reporters asking questions about the films not the shoes.

#Oscars – There should be tributes (better than that weak Bond One) montages of great films, reunions of great actors and directors

#Oscars – …insight into the process of movie making – talk about all the films of the year, not just the nominated ones – celebrate them 2

#Oscars – show us the funniest moments of the year – the scariest moments – make it about the movies – celebrate it all

#Oscars – I haven't missed a show in 45 yrs, thats because I love the movies and the people that make them. Its their night, respect that.

#Oscars – I'm okay with musical numbers as long as they honor the film or they're at least relevant. Les Mis was awesome.The rest no so much

#Oscars – I'd rather have insight on Daniel Day's process as an actor than what his wife is wearing to the event.

#Oscars Here's the best idea of all, let all the nominees submit a list of names of people they want to thank, and scroll them underneath…

#Oscars …them as they accept their award, that way they can say something witty and be sincere without the laundry list of help

#Oscars Thats why the Brits make the best speeches because they rarely thank their lawyers, agents and managers (DDL for example)

Can Jon Cassar be in charge of producing the Oscars next year, please?
Stop this man! He's making sense in Hollywood! “@joncassar: #Oscars – …make it about the movies…”

@joncassar I agree 100%. As part of the younger audience, it just doesn't come across very well. Class would be a nice change.
