Meh, close enough. The producer behind the LA presentation also produced late night shows (although for Corden and not Fallon), so there's still somewhat of a connection there.

https://www.nbc.com/nbc-insider/kelly-clarkson-will-host-the-2024-olympics-opening-ceremony-with-peyton-manning-and the article also confirms that Jimmy Fallon will host the closing ceremony for NBC. Very fitting in my opinion considering the handover will be to LA.
-
lol the article on the Brisbane Times has a poll on where the stadium should be built and the Gabba has more votes than Victoria Park, QSAC, and Carrara. looks like the reverse psychology is working!

IOC-EB is hearing a report from Brisbane 2032 on the 20th, we'll see if they have a response to this bizarre plan at that day's press conference (if not earlier)
-
Holy sh** really? If I had a nickel for every time the report recommended spending (more) money on projects that could easily be replaced by using existing infrastructure, I'd have two nickels. Which isn't a lot, but it's weird that it happened twice.
-
i know this would create a not-so-good precedent but i hope the IOC overrides the Victoria Park recommendation and forces them to use QSAC or Carrara, because what do you mean Queensland/Brisbane is abandoning a project because its to expensive only to create an even more expensive project??? makes zero sense.

i had a dream last night where i watched the opening ceremony. it was a basic boat parade with people doing random dances on barges that slowly floated along the river. i hope the actual ceremony is much more exciting than that!

i am once again thanking the olympics for allowing our infrastructure to be financed, upgraded, and expanded faster than it would usually take: https://www.laweekly.com/nearly-1-billion-in-federal-funding-going-toward-prep-for-2028-olympics/ if there's one positive that's come out of being an olympic host city so far (besides the increased access to sport and para-sport for kids of course) is that our public transit has significantly gotten better in the last few years... i'm pretty sure that if we weren't hosting in 2028, most of the projects would be delayed or canceled or something.

that's an... interesting lineup... there's also more info on NBC's opening ceremony coverage: https://apnews.com/article/olympics-opening-ceremony-kelly-clarkson-peyton-manning-mike-tirico-ba107edbedbc8ceacb45f11e74a7176f “Today” show hosts Savannah Guthrie and Hoda Kotb will be stationed together on a bridge along the route. They’re expected to report on the pageantry of the ceremony as the athletes sail by. The ceremony’s live coverage will air July 26 on NBC and Peacock at noon ET. looks like we're getting a third straight opening ceremony live

2028 will be 100 Yrs of Oscars
Bear replied to baron-pierreIV's topic in Los Angeles 2028 Summer Games
well as i mentioned in the ceremonies thread, someone who's produced multiple awards shows (although not the Oscars it seems) will produce the handover ceremony for LA. If things go well, I can imagine that he'd have a role in the proper ceremonies, which may result in a nod to the awards shows in LA in one of the ceremonies. -
and just as I was saying about my cybersecurity concerns... https://www.ctvnews.ca/world/the-french-government-says-it-s-being-targetted-by-cyberattacks-of-unprecedented-intensity-1.6803105 fortunately doesn't seem Olympics-related, and hopefully it puts the cybersecurity people on high alert as the Games get closer.
-
personally I'm concerned about cyber security. like we saw how they attempted to disrupt the 2018 opening ceremony in a retaliation attempt. I'm sure it will turn out fine in the end but until the games are underway I don't think I'll be able to stop worrying about it haha

LA 2028 Ceremonies

Here's Fulwell 73's website with a list of projects they've worked on: https://www.fulwell73.com/broadcast Looks like they produced some elements for the 2015 Rugby World Cup opening ceremony, which might provide an insight into the type of stuff we might expect: https://www.fulwell73.com/rwc
