Do presenters at the oscars read off of a screen?
Do they have to memorize everything they say cause it seems hard to memorize it and make it sound really good, or do they read off of some screen in the back...?
Why do TV presenters/news readers use teleprompters?
There are two questions here:1. Why do they use teleprompters?2. Why not look directly at the first screen (parallel to the ground)?1. Teleprompters are used by presenters to enable them to engage more directly with their viewers, as they are able to look directly towards the camera lens while reading their scripts.NB In the UK, news presenters tend to be experienced journalists and much of what they say to camera is ad libbed, during breaking news scenarios, or unscripted interview questions, which depend are reactive to the answers given. They also have a paper version of their scripts, which they leaf through, throughout their news bulletin, as a backup to their teleprompter2. The presenter looks at a reflector placed in front of the camera lens instead of looking directly at a teleprompter screen, because it allows them to give the impression to looking directly into the camera lens. There are some situations where a laptop is pressed into use as a makeshift teleprompter, during fieldwork, and is placed slightly below the camera lens.
Where are the teleprompters on the Oscars that the presenters are reading from as you don’t see them when they show a wide shot of the stage?
They are in behind the first section of the audience, as shown in this screen capture taken while Barbra Streisand was introducing BlacKkKlansman.
If news anchors read teleprompters to deliver the news, then why do they have stacks of paper on the desk in front of them?
I wondered the same thing until I got a job anchoring the overnight news (World News Now) at ABC News in New York. I coanchored this with Aaron Brown and, later, with a very young Anderson Cooper.The papers do serve a useful purpose. They are hard copies of the scripts you and/or the writers have typed up to scroll live for you on the teleprompter. You typically look at these copies before prompter rolls during every commercial break so you can (re)familiarize yourself with it and practice any hard to pronounce words that could mangle you live on air.You might also read through it and find last minute changes you want or need to make to the script for accuracy or ease of reading, adding notes for yourself and asking writers via IFB to make the additions for you on the electronic prompter copy you'll read from.You don't want to be stumbling around when you are live -- what's on the prompter should never be new to you. A good review, even if you originally wrote it, is key befre you go live.Also, you use these papers so you can follow long during the course of a live broadcast. If the prompter freezes or goes wiggy -- and that happens ALL the time -- you have a hard copy you can switch to without losing a beat, or much of one.There is also usually a prompter screen built down into the desk, which you have to look directly down at. That also serves as a monitor -- and a hair mirror for many a anchor : ) The papers cover the glare from that up.Mostly, though, the paper copies of the script you refer to are just plain old props. They help you to look kind of busy after the final outro and when credits roll, when the cameras have you and your coanchor in the wide shot. That's when you typically stack them up, act like you are taking notes on them, smile knowingly at the other anchor, toss it behind you merrily, whatever.

How do announcers see the teleprompter at the Oscars/Grammys?
they are buried in the stage aprons where the forward looking cameras can not see them, and the print type is huge so that the material can be read even without glasses other prompters are also hidden in other strategic locations like the ear pods and recievers in their ears
Will Hugh Jackman get an Oscar for his performance in Les Miserables?
I truly feel that this was one of the most profound and enigmatic performances by Hugh Jackman. I would really feel bad if he doesn't win an Oscar for this but it definitely would have won many a hearts. The things that he did with his eyes, many couldn't have done it any which way.I hope he does win.
How do news anchors master everything they say? Do they read from somewhere?
Anchors don't master everything they say. In fact, most of the time, they may not even be aware of the news that they read on air. The desk writes the news or the script for them which is reflected on a small TV like screen called the teleprompter. So basically, anchors read from a teleprompter. Below is a picture of a script being reflected on a teleprompter which is kept in front of the anchor. Hope this helped clear your doubts.
