Show & Event Programming:
When ABC News produced its live Oscar coverage for “Good Morning America”, it called on Diane Masciale to get the job done. For numerous Oscar seasons, Masciale executed the coverage from Hollywood with anchors Diane Sawyer and Robin Roberts behind the scenes at the Academy Awards. These big budget, remote shows included complex, live broadcasts with elaborate set designs, big audiences and live music. No program was complete without a lineup of celebrity guest hosts like Cindy Crawford, Tim Gunn, Cameron Mathison and others, exclusive interviews with the year’s Oscar winners, movie stunts and hot dance numbers from the hit show “Dancing with the Stars”. Masciale commanded the multi-hour, live shows from a mobile command center synched with network coverage at the New York Times Square studios.
