Yes, true. They did air all of the awards and speeches.

Because they thought the awards and speeches would get cut. You might have considered them to be throwaway videos, but I enjoyed watching the speeches.

It’s true that they aired all the speeches. The not true part was the why. We were all informed ahead of time that the speeches would all be aired. That was never in doubt. The fact that they went long regardless had little to do with the decision. It was a full on campaign from the governors of each branch, including the ones who were aired live. The heads of the show were heavily trying to please the advertisers who care only about ratings.

They aired edited versions of speeches.

Joe Walker the editor has his speech edited.
