| Jan 7, 2016 at 23:28 | comment | added | plainclothes | @DaveKaye you definitely have to account for the trainee's availability. The demand on a celeb's time is going to be relatively high, but performers are used to rehearsing. The design should be clear and the training will have to be succinct, probably something that's sent ahead and easy to follow without guidance. | |
| Jan 7, 2016 at 23:15 | comment | added | Raydot | I was with you until the last comment. Professional performers can do quite a bit without rehearsing. I've played entire concerts with guys I've never met. Given that there is no international specification for awards announcements (like the one they have for music) I think good design should be enough. You're not going to take the extra hour to take Steve Harvey through the process of reading off of cards. | |
| Jan 4, 2016 at 11:14 | comment | added | komodosp | +1 for this answer because it is the one that both works and is simple to implement. i.e. Other answers below involve graphics or fancy layouts, and answer only the specific situation of reading out the winner, but this applies a simple rule that can be used across the board, i.e. All cue cards should be printed in the order they are to be read | |

Additionally I'd spell out first and second, rather then numbering them 1 and 2.

| Jan 2, 2016 at 11:49 | comment | added | Peter | The separator lines directly above each title look like lines where the person with that title is manually written on, like in a letter. That's confusing. If you want to get rid of that source of confusion you can put the text on one single line, or at the very least move the separators up a bit. | |
| Jan 2, 2016 at 2:10 | comment | added | Lightness Races in Orbit | I would add some vertical lines to make the three groups into three boxes. It wasn't clear to me how the lines and bold/non-bold text were related to each other. Or at least remove the topmost horizontal line. | |
| Jan 1, 2016 at 15:21 | comment | added | Tim Huynh | Like Steve Harvey, you've missed important information that's been written down: my requirements and restrictions explicitly state that the host announces the first runner-up immediately after announcing the winner. To be fair, they could be more concise, but for anybody in doubt, see how easy it is to forget or miss text? | |

Corrected some misinformation

| Dec 30, 2015 at 18:24 | comment | added | plainclothes | Training. If you want to be part of the event, you have to learn the language of that event. | |
| Dec 30, 2015 at 15:41 | comment | added | UXerUIer | @plainclothes I too, never know how this all happens. Only time I found out was because it made headlines lol... By the way, great answer. Although, I would more than likely still add a little more emphasis on the winner (like maybe a darker background) | |
| Dec 30, 2015 at 15:40 | comment | added | plainclothes | @VitalyMijiritsky whatever the order, I think you get the idea. I'm glad to say I have no clue how the event goes down. | |
| Dec 30, 2015 at 14:37 | comment | added | Alex S | That is assuming he knows what is Runner up :P | |
| Dec 30, 2015 at 12:57 | comment | added | Peter | I'd use color for the winner, and add a little crown icon. mixing up the runners up is not such a big deal, but the host should never be able to mistake the winner. | |
| Dec 30, 2015 at 11:38 | comment | added | kasperd | I would consider the training part to be the most important part of this answer. The training should happen using an identical design but with made up country names. | |
| Dec 30, 2015 at 6:13 | comment | added | Vitaly Mijiritsky | That's not the way they're announced, that's the whole problem. | |
