Allison Janney is not exactly thrilled about the Academy’s apparent decision to change a long-held Oscar tradition.

For years, the acting categories at the Oscars have been presented by the previous ceremony’s winners in those categories: last year’s best actor presents this year’s best actress, and so on. But on Friday, it was reported that at the 2019 Oscars, the Academy plans to shake things up—allegedly because it is pursuing bigger stars to present those categories instead. That would mean leaving last year’s acting winners— Gary Oldman, Sam Rockwell, Frances McDormand, and Janney—in the cold come Oscar night. Over the weekend, Janney wrote on Instagram that she is heartbroken by this evident break with precedent.

“It’s looking like they are not going to honor the tradition this year,” she wrote. “It breaks my heart.”

The post has since been deleted. The actress wrote her remark while commenting on a photo posted by the Instagram account @allisonjanneystyle, a fan page that focuses on Janney’s fashion sense. She was responding to commenters who were discussing what she might wear to this year’s Oscars, where they presumed she would present the best-supporting-actor category. Janney is the first of last year’s acting winners to comment on the Academy’s reported decision; representatives for Oldman, McDormand, and Rockwell have not yet responded to Vanity Fair’s request for comment.

The Academy has yet to confirm that the tradition is truly being forsaken—but Janney’s remark only gives strength to the rumors, especially now that the Oscars are just a few weeks away. It should be noted that the tradition has been tweaked before as well; Casey Affleck, for example, sat out the 2018 Oscars to avoid being a distraction in the nascent #MeToo era. He was replaced by Jennifer Lawrence and Jodie Foster.

Representatives for the Academy have not yet responded to Vanity Fair’s request for comment. But if the rumor is true, this would be just one of several unpopular decisions the Academy has made (and backtracked on) in pursuit of (much-needed) higher ratings, including, but not limited to: announcing, then unannouncing a best-popular-Oscar category; moving some awards in the telecast to commercial breaks; and announcing, then revising, the decision to only have two of the five best-original-song nominees perform during the show.
