It’s February, which implies the 91st Academy Awards is directly around the bend.
We might not have a host affirmed (or know without a doubt if there will even be one, or two, or multiple…), however we currently realize the first round of moderators! There’s some blackness in the crowd, including Whoopi Goldberg, Tessa Thompson, Amandla Stenberg, and Maya Rudolph.
They’ll be joining Awkwafina, Daniel Craig, Chris Evans, Tina Fey, Brie Larson, Jennifer Lopez, Amy Poehler, Charlize Theron, Constance Wu, and Gustavo Dudamel. The Los Angeles Philharmonic will perform amid the “In Memoriam” Segment.
“The Oscar nominees have generated tremendous worldwide attention through their captivating stories, achievements and performances,” said producer Donna Gigliotti and co-producer/director Glenn Weiss, via the Academy’s press release. “We want to give the public an opportunity to once again experience the moments that have moved us all. It is a celebration of our universal love of movies.”
Likewise, the fancy schmancy Oscars luncheon occurred on Monday afternoon, and as per Vanity Fair, the Academy individuals gave the most elevated rounds of adulation to Regina King, Mahershala Ali, and Spike Lee.
Academy president John Bailey as of late talked with Deadline about the status of the ceremony, which is “still in flux.” Bailey affirmed it’ll be a mix of convention and joining a huge worldwide impression by securing huge stars known far and wide. A standout amongst the most outstanding conventions where the four Best Acting champs (leading and supporting) present their individual honors to the new class is still open to question. He likewise noticed all Best Song chosen people will be performed amid the telecast, regardless of past reports through sources not affirmed by the Academy that just two of the selected melodies would be performed.
Interestingly, a portion of the categories will be pre-taped. We don’t know which categories are on this rundown, but rather Deadline places there will be around four of them.
“This is an important moment in Oscar history,” noted Academy CEO Dawn Hudson. “This year’s show maintains Oscar traditions, and is also evolving to reflect our global audience.”
The 91st Academy Awards function will broadcast live on Sunday, February 24 at 5:00 p.m. PT/8 p.m. ET on ABC.
Welp, recall when we said before that the host circumstance is uncertain? All things considered, the puzzle is finished and it’s a certain thing: there won’t be a host for the 91st Academy Awards, The Hollywood Reporter has affirmed.
“From what I’ve heard, we have a very exciting opener planned,” said ABC Entertainment Karey Burke. “We are not going to go straight into people thanking their agents.”
