A lot of this sucks and it’s just so typical of a new CEO to come in and just fire people to juice their numbers. A shit practice. I will say cuts at Awards makes sense when they’ve basically given up on making anything that has a chance of winning anything. This is me being shady but it also just completely true, looking at their output it’s extremely good for revenue which is why they win every year and devoid of awards prospects which is why they haven’t won anything in god knows how long. Focus Features has its own teams so I imagine they’re mostly intact.
So, how are “greater efficiency” and “cutting costs” different in this case?
Greater efficiency….
