Oscar Producers Keeping Mum - NYTimes.com February 14, 2012, 2:30 pm Billy Crystal apparently spent the weekend filming bits for his coming gig as host of the Oscars ceremony. But if you're thinking that about now we should start hearing even more about what direction the telecast will go (beyond the tagline "Celebrate the movies in all of us"), think again. The show's producers, Brian Grazer and Don Mischer, are aiming to preserve a bit of mystery this time out. "Their silence is in line with a belief that is deeply ingrained in traditional movie types: that entertainment is best manufactured behind studio walls," writes the Bagger's colleague Michael Cieply, who goes on to warn, "Reticence carries risk in an era when social media, the amateur camera and the brazen exhibitionism of reality television have made the sweat of process an expected part of the show."
