Kanye's brilliant move this year was not showing up. It allowed everyone to realize how annoying Taylor Swift's "who, li'l ol' me?" act really is.
They pre-announce everything because they think it builds anticipation and makes you more likely to watch it.

(Plus, they're afraid a lot of people have no idea who many music acts are. Older people don't recognize that skinny tattooed guy from the Purple 4 or whatever, while younger people wonder why their medicated grandparents are singing in front of surfboards.)

Maybe Fluffy's just not that into you.
No, I'm going to serve them all salmon salad in the shape of two Oscars.

End lactose intolerance!
I am "Fancksy," the artist who places Cat Fancy covers over the Tom Hanks heads that Hanksy has placed over Banksy's work.
