Producer Reginald Hudlin, his partner in the show, Ian Stewart, compared the process to “trying to watch 130 sports matches at the same time”, saying, “We’ve never done anything like this before.”
The expectation is that not everything will go smoothly, and Kim will “be available all night to jump in as soon as anything goes wrong,” Huddle said. “They keep moving forward as we essentially make things. … We’re open to the X factor, being in partnership with all these nominees.”
Participating with nominated members sitting at home – in some cases surrounded by family – will add a little intimacy to the proceedings. As Hudlin notes, people are invited to their homes to use these programs, and “now we’ll go to their homes.”
During the Zoom call with reporters, the producers also admitted that they were keeping this tone in mind, they wanted to celebrate the informal nature of this year’s awards and the best work done in television recognizing what is going on in the world. That includes fires that cloud the air in Los Angeles, where the awards will begin.
“The fire crisis we’re facing is bigger than our small awards show,” Hoodlin said, adding that “we’re not a deaf tone. We are trying to do this show in the background of many things. This is going on in the country. “
