LOS ANGELES — The Oscars are ready for the next surprise outburst.
Bill Kramer, the chief executive of the Academy of Motion Picture Arts and Sciences, announced the addition of a “crisis team” to help manage the response to any unexpected incidents during the awards show.
“We have a whole crisis team, something we’ve never had before, and many plans in place,” Kramer told Time in an interview published Tuesday. “We’ve run many scenarios. So it is our hope that we will be prepared for anything that we may not anticipate right now but that we’re planning for just in case it does happen.”
