John Pavlik Quotations

We are looking forward to going back to where the whole thing started. In a sense, it will be an exciting return to yesteryear, but it also brings the awards to a theater that has been specifically designed to make the show exciting for the audience in the theater as well as a brilliant television program.

We are also trying to fight the rain. We have to put a contingency plan to cover the red carpet in place if it's going to rain. It's a big job.

We made a lot of progress. But it was time to move on and let someone else pick up where I left off.

I think it's going to keep getting bigger. I don't now how the phone companies are going to react. It doesn't make any sense for consumers to pay for something they can get for free,

The quality is great if you have a headset, especially if both parties have a broadband connection.

We have several areas that we accept films from that are not specifically delineated as countries but have been accepted over the years, such as Hong Kong, Taiwan, Puerto Rico.

Almost nothing we do makes a profit except for the awards show.

It's a major construction job for a huge event with a lot of things being built including a very heavy bridge over Hollywood Boulevard, so we need time to do it.

Not gonna happen. It would be physically impossible to happen between now and Sunday and, beyond that, we're not going to disqualify films because some people don't like the content.

Any ballots received after 5:00 pm will not be counted or taken into account for the Oscars.

I have no idea what plans E! has on Oscar night. If they're suggesting they would do something similar on our red carpet, we would have some good discussions with them. I can predict we would be extraordinarily angry if that happened on our carpet. I cannot predict what we would do afterwards.

I don't think there was any pressure from another country.
