Next month will see Ireland's nominees gather at the Dolby Theatre in Los Angeles on Sunday, March 12.Academy President Janet Yang warned the nominees that if they win the coveted gold statue, their "acceptance speech must be 45 seconds" long due to the length of the ceremony. She told nominees at the luncheon on Monday: "You win a coveted golden statue, your speech must be 45 seconds tops. "We have worked really hard to represent all awards live on the show this year. So we need to be sensitive to our running time, you need to work with us. "This is live television after all. Translation: 'keep it short, sweet and to the point please'. And to be clear, that’s 45 seconds total. For instance, if an award is shared amongst a group, either one person speaks for the group or each person gets the opportunity to thank one person." She also told nominees that the handling of Will Smith slapping Chris Rock at last year's ceremony was "inadequate.""What happened onstage was wholly unacceptable and the response from our organisation was inadequate."
