He proposed the idea of making 20 movies with $10 million budgets or even 50 movies with $4 million budgets as a way to take more risks and provide more opportunities within the industry. His "Interesting Oscars speech" was met with approval, with reactions like "hell yes" from the audience, sparking discussions on the economics of movie production and the feasibility of such a shift in focus.
