"We're going to be super respectful of the talents’ decisions to either be involved in pre tapes, show up or not show up, whatever they decide," he told Variety."We've got backup plans and coverage just in case, so I guess the short answer is, I’m not sure yet… There's also athletes and celebrity chefs and all kinds of other talent that are not squarely affected. So we’ll be going down that road.
Although there is so much up in the air, and the show is being rearranged, Gillmer said the telecast will address the writers strike. However, he noted that it won't focus on it, and will be all about"delivering for the fans." "The exclusive sneak peeks of the big films that are to be released. We still have a live performance," he said."We still have the award sequences, although those are the elements that are very unpredictable -- because clearly we don’t know which talent will feel comfortable. A lot of them won’t.
"But we have a plan, since the award show is fan-voted, we want to honor the fans’ participation and also honor the talent that earn these awards," Gillmer continued."So we’ll be giving the awards away. We're working on a plan on how to do that without the traditional presentation involved, should the talent or some of the talent not show. We've got backups to our backups. And we're planning on keeping as many of the signature elements of the show intact.
