Sandra Bullock’s Oscars host solution: Call on random actors
NEW YORK — Sandra Bullock has an impromptu idea for how to solve the Oscars host problem, and it involves a lot of improvisation.
The Oscar-winning actress told The Associated Press Monday at a screening of her new film “Bird Box ” that she thinks random actors should be pulled out of the audience and read what’s on the teleprompter to cover a segment of the show.
Organizers “don’t even have to tell them it’s happening, just put up the teleprompter, and go, ‘it’s your turn,’” Bullock said. “You’re an actor, figure it out.”
Bullock says it’s a genius solution that everyone in the room is perfectly suited to handle. Well, almost everyone — Bullock says she’s not attending next year’s ceremony, but would participate in her idea if she was.
