I'm not sure on the specifics of the behind the scenes actions, but I'm just assuming that the host usually has a lot of tasks going through their mind at that time, so it would be better for them to have time for preparation, rather than rushing to get the next cue. | |

| Dec 30, 2015 at 12:53 | comment | added | Cody Brantley | By increasing the work, it also becomes a negative, because you must also consider that the announcement is done within one speech, and given the magnitude of the event, and the length of the show, the announcement should be done as fast as possible, only allowing pauses for suspense, rather than opening envelopes. I suppose you could do one envelope, with multiple cards though, so that way the host just has to sift through them. | |
