Richard Rushhfield‘s best suggestion about fixing the Oscars (he’s published three or so over the last few days) is to move up the date to “early” January, and let all the various pre-Oscar award shows scramble and adjust.

Basically get it over with sooner, Richard urged. Except we all know that early January is unworkable. Late January should be the target.

Yesterday Sasha Stone and I kicked this all around, except we didn’t stick to the subject and indulged in the usual Jeff-and-Sasha digressions.
