Now, six such dreamers will have the chance thanks to a change in Oscar tradition. While past winners and Hollywood icons are the ones chosen to present the awards on Oscar night, the actual trophy is traditionally carried by a gorgeous model. However, the Associated Press has got word that the Academy Awards is mixing it up this year, giving film students the chance to become a part of Oscar history. The telecast's co-producers Neil Meron and Craig Zadan created a contest, asking film students "How will you contribute to the future of film?" From more than 1,100 submissions—in the form of essays and 30-second videos—a lucky six were selected to play a part in the 85th Academy Awards. Speaking on the change-up, Meron offered: "[I]This tradition of the buxom babe that comes out and brings the trophy to the presenter to give to the winner seemed to be very antiquated and kind of sexist, too. They're just there to be objectified. Why can't we have people who actually care about film and are the future of film be the trophy presenters[/I]?"

An excellent idea. I'm sure aspiring filmmakers value the oscars a lot more than these models, and it's going to make these students very happy.
This just in: Oscar view numbers drop 87%, Oscars canceled in massive losses But yeah, good on them for doing away with the models and giving them to people who can actually spell cinematography.
