There's lights, there's music, it's smaller.

What's the downside to this setup?

Because it seems like it's shorter, it's faster, it's more fast-paced, less rules.

Well, Rolling Stone reports that Casey Affleck has bowed out of his presenter duties at this year's Oscars amid this tense moment in Hollywood.

So according to Deadline, this is due in large part to ongoing controversy surrounding his own alleged sexual misconduct.

A source told the site that Affleck didn't want to be a distraction at the ceremony during which he would be.

He'd present the best actress award.

And I didn't.

I guess I didn't realize this, but Affleck won the award for Best Actor last year for Manchester by the Sea, and Oscar tradition dictates that the previous year's Best Actor presents the Best Actress.

I just didn't notice.

So room star Brie Larson, who won Best Actress in 2016, refused to clap for Affleck when she presented him with the trophy.

Brie Larson... She won for The Room.

The Room.

Yes.

Yeah, she announced him as the winner.

She won for Room?

Yes.

Yeah, it was intense.
