It was the tweet that prompted media abuzz claiming Zadan and Meron might not produce the 2016 Oscars. No official announcement on the matter has been made by either Zadan himself or The Academy of Motion Picture Arts & Sciences.
Duo Zadan and Meron have been overseeing the annual Oscars for three years and helped the Academy Awards broadcast hit a 10-year high in ratings last year, with Ellen DeGeneres serving as host. Unfortunately, this year's show which was hosted by Neil Patrick Harris dropped 16 percent in viewership. Zadan and Meron have recently produced live TV musicals "The Sound of Music Live!" and "Peter Pan Live!" together.
