Reuters: Craig Zadan and Neil Meron, the producers behind the last three Academy Awards telecasts, will not be returning for next year’s Oscars, the ceremony organizers said. The Academy of Motion Picture Arts and Sciences, which hosts Hollywood’s biggest night each year, declined to say why Zadan and Meron were not invited back. Their departure comes after the TV audience for the 2015 show dropped 16% from the previous year and first-time host Neil Patrick Harris received lukewarm reviews.
