Greg Sorenson pointed out another possible Oscar time-saver: get rid of the host. Use the announcers in the host role of bringing out presenters and the like. It's been tried before (last time being 1989), but now may be the best time to give it another go, especially if you use folks on the Glenn Close/Donald Sutherland level. They're well known, but not so big that they'd be de facto hosts.
People may miss the host-driven openings, but I think we could all do without the minute or two bridges during the show that, honestly, only seem to let Whoopi crack up at her own jokes.
