Among those less than enthused with the changes to this year's Oscarcast were the red carpet photographers.

There was much grumbling among the shutterbugs over the Academy's new policy of having some stars (Jennifer Aniston, Kristen Stewart, Katherine Heigl and Jessica Alba) enter through an off-camera back entrance. This way, their stylish couture was revealed for the first time when they came onstage to present or with key money shots during the telecast.

While this may have been an attempt to buck up the ratings, the photogs didn't see it as benefiting their finances.

"Magazines want photos from the red carpet -- the stars have spent hours getting ready and they're prepared to pose," said one. "We sell these photos all year. This is a disaster both for us and for the designers who want their dresses seen at the Oscars."

There were a few presenters on the red carpet who definitely expressed the feeling -- either verbally or with eye rolls -- that if they were coming to the Oscars, they were coming through the front door.

"We refused," said Phoebe Cates with husband Kevin Kline about going through the back entry. Sarah Jessica Parker laughed and said "We've been advised not to answer that question" when asked if she was nudged to skip the red carpet. And Miley Cyrus was clear she wanted to show off her gown.

When I was eating dinner with my family we saw it too . I think the award show is a bit wordy, but I freakin' love the montages of the genres. I was hoping they would show 27d during the romance category, and they did .

Here's the scene they used of Jane getting ready with her father in making her grand entrance at her wedding:



I thought I saw a picture shot of Jane and Kevin singing and dancing "Benny and the Jets" too when they were going picture to picture right before they did the dancing section of the romance category . You definitely couldn't miss the 27d wedding though .

I had to take a shower during the telecast and my family had to get ready for work and school tomorrow, so I missed the Katherine money shot .

I don't believe Katie was in attendance (of course I could be proved completely wrong two seconds after posting this)
