Organisers shake up Oscars ceremony

Oscar organisers are to shake up the way nominees find out who has won and collect awards at this year's ceremony.

Oscar organisers are to shake up the way nominees find out who has won and collect awards at this year's ceremony.

Some winners will not go on stage to pick up their awards - while in other categories, all five nominees will get on stage before being told who has won.

The traditional system where the winner walks up to the podium after their name is read out will also still be used.

The changes were announced at yesterday's Nominees Luncheon, where 115 nominees met three weeks before the ceremony.

Oscars ceremony producer Gil Cates said the changes would "get more of the nominees seen on television".

He also made a plea for winners to keep their acceptance speeches short.
