The Oscars return Sunday, with a few changes

The telecast for the 94th Academy Awards will begin, as usual, at 8 p.m. EDT on ABC. But little else about how this year's Oscars will get underway is traditional. An hour before the broadcast begins, attendees will assemble in the Dolby for the presentation of eight awards and acceptance speeches that will be edited into a broadcast that producer Will Packer has promised will be a tight three hours.

Then there are the challenges of commanding worldwide attention for a night of Hollywood self-congratulation after two years of pandemic and while Russia's war ravages Ukraine. Packer has said the war in Ukraine will be respectfully acknowledged during the broadcast. After several years sans-host, the Oscars will turn to the trio of Amy Schumer, Wanda Sykes and Regina Hall to emcee the broadcast, which is also streaming on platforms including Hulu Live TV, YouTubeTV and on ABC.com with provider authentication. Producers have also lined up a star-studded group of performers including Billie Eilish and Beyonce to sing nominated songs, while the "Encanto" cast will perform Lin-Manuel Miranda's breakout hit "We Don't Talk About Bruno.

That's one of the eight pre-show categories to be handed out during what producers are calling the "golden hour." The others are: film editing, sound, original score, production design, live-action short, animated short and documentary short.

No body cares. Seriously.

Sans Ben?

Who cares

Who fricken cares, movies nominated nobody has seen anyway.

Wish I can add those 2 nominations: 1- SeanFraserMP for Best Actor in a Leading Role & Advocacy Excellence in defending an unprecedented scandal👇. 2- CitImmCanada for Lifetime Worst Achievement Award for stacking 1.84M files, & getting away with it, w/out accountability👇.
