From the color of the iconic carpet to the new crisis team in place, Oscars producers are hoping to hit the reset button after last year's Will Smith slap controversy.
The late-night talk show host and comedian says he will take a few jabs at the slap seen around the world. He also tells 6abc's Alicia Vitarelli he will try to keep it fresh.
"It will be a comeback the way Rocky II was a comeback, where the guy from Philadelphia knocks out the other guy," he says, poking a little fun at Philly. "See, there's a fun analogy nobody's made yet." The other big question for this year's broadcast: who will present the award to Best Actress since Smith, who won Best Actor, is banned from attending the Oscars for the next 10 years."There is no more: 'this is what we used to do,'" says executive producer and showrunner Ricky Kirshner.
West Philly's Questlove won last year for Best Documentary Feature. He's on the list of presenters this year, but which category remains to be seen. "We have rethought the show and put presenters together that make sense for the categories," Kirshner says. "You will see Sunday night."
