‘Celebrate the movies in all of us’ - 2012 Oscar show theme

PanARMENIAN.Net - Facing a future where many movies will be seen in homes, Oscar organizers on Monday, Feb 6 unveiled this year's awards show theme at an annual luncheon honoring nominees by asking fans to relish memories of why they love movies and going to theatres.

'Celebrate the movies in all of us,' is the idea that Academy Award co-producers Brian Grazer and Don Mischer, as well as Tom Sherak, the president of the Academy of Motion Picture Arts and Sciences, are asking film lovers to espouse this year.

'I hope this theme is something you guys can celebrate with us,' Grazer told the audience of A-list Oscar nominees including Brad Pitt, George Clooney, Meryl Streep and Viola Davis.

Grazer, producer of past best movie winner A Beautiful Mind, said that in these current days when more and more movies are delivered directly to homes via video-on-demand systems using the Internet, satellite and cable TV, it is time to remember the communal experience of shared laughter and emotion that people experience in a theatre, Reuters reported.
