Today the ceremony has to be carried out without any hosts at all, because there are so many failures that there is no one to lead it. And all due to the fact that every time a statuette is handed over to a white person, or a person of traditional orientation, or a man (or all together, even worse), scandals arise on the basis of the infringement of women, blacks, sexual minorities, etc.
