The former head writer for the Academy Awards addressed the “minefield” that the field of comedy has turned into and “woke madness” the permeates the culture ahead of the Sunday broadcast which he expects to be one of its least viewed ever.

Bruce Vilanch spent 24 years writing for the Oscars including a 14 year stint from 2000-2014 where he helmed the award show. During that time, he worked with the likes of Whoopi Goldberg, Billy Crystal and Steve Martin in their capacity as hosts to keep viewers of the annual event tuned in and laughing.

The atmosphere has changed, Vilanch told the Ankler in a special conversation, and the writers this year will be facing unique struggles. Some of them as a consequence from their decisions in previous years.
