Oscar organizers have revealed they are planning two Academy Award telecasts: a normal, star-studded ceremony and another featuring "history and packages of film and concepts that are not normally ones that we would have" if the current screenwriters' strike is still going on Feb. 24.

"We have an obligation to the art form to present the Oscars, so we have to deal with the possibility of not being able to do the show because of pickets or agreements not being concluded," Academy of Motion Picture Arts and Sciences president Sid Ganis said Wednesday. Story

Will you watch the Oscars, even if this year's telecast is simply a clips show?
