"Please get to the stage quickly, really quickly,"Zadan said. "The moment you reach the microphone, the timer begins and you will have 45 seconds to speak. "
Seeking to tighten a broadcast that has approached four hours in recent years, zadan warned potential group winners to select a designated speaker"Who should begin to speak immediately before the whole group has assembled onstage. "
"The show is successful if the pacing of the evening feels brisk,"He said to a chorus of laughter from the skeptical crowd.

Delpy then http://www.yali.com.au/christian-louboutin-slingbacks.html rushed over to fellow nominee and rising fashion star lupita nyong'o of"12 Years a Slave"And gushed as the two snapped a photo together.
