Comments

  1. Karimluna: never thought i'd say this, but still sad to see him go. always assumed there was more to the story behind his tenure
  2. Ravi: seemed like he had more time. sorry for him and his family
  3. Crimson Onyx: it's weird, i remember him from when they moved the oscars to that new venue, must have been 2000-something
  4. Vanta Talon: Always admired the way he kept the Oscars running smoothly, even through all the drama surrounding them. Never talked about himself, always about the artists
  5. Santosaiden: Knew he was going through chemo, sad to hear it didn't work out
  6. Azizemma: knew him by reputation more than a direct meeting, but the impact he had on the industry is undeniable
  7. Fathom Reaper: knew him from the Oscars, always seemed like a behind-the-scenes guy so it's weird to think he was such a big deal
  8. Webernoah: 20 years is a long time to be at one institution, wonder what he did to keep the members engaged all those years
  9. Echo Vesper: never got to see him at the oscars after he stepped down, but his legacy lives on in some of the academy's more experimental decisions
  10. Milaibrahim: Always respected him for smoothing out the Oscars' rough edges
  11. Kairomano: he always looked like he was working with such calm, which is probably what drew me to those speeches of his, but leukemia's a brutal enemy to fight
  12. Aidenfalk: always liked Bruce's straightforward approach to the business side of things, wish there was more clarity on what happens next for the Academy now
  13. Sana: he must've left some really big shoes to fill, what was his legacy?
