If it was staged, who’s benefitting from it?

Not Smith, not Rock, not the Academy. So who?

I don't think it was staged, but whoever broadcasts it every year will probably benefit. People love drama, and I have no doubt that more people will tune in this year with the hopes of catching more drama.

The academy benefits from it.

It wasn't long before that I saw something that said that the ratings have been falling. So to me it made sense to do something crazy to drum-up some more interest.

911 was an inside job, too. Putin is secretly an alien from Venus sent down to suck off Donald Trump. And the moon landing was actually staged on top of Abraham Lincoln’s crusty dead body.
