The Oscars ceremony is changing its rules to stop the television audience from shrinking, but shunting the honorary awards to an earlier date only serves to make it less relevant, says David Thomson In awarding the Oscars for 2010, the Academy has chosen to give the Irving Thalberg award (its highest individual distinction) to John Calley.
