The 92nd edition of the Academy Awards, also known as the Oscars is expected to take place on February 9th, at the Dolby Theatre in Hollywood, celebrating movies.
The 2020 Oscars has received some criticisms for its lack of diversity and gender-friendly in some of its nominations, particularly as only one person of color was nominated (Cynthia Erivo for the movie, Harriet) and no woman was nominated in the Director category.
The host-less event will have stars and other celebrities on presenting duties as done in previous times, however, all eyes would be on the presenters.
They include Mahershala Ali, Zazie Beetz, Timothée Chalamet, Olivia Colman, Will Ferrel, Gal Gadot, Mindy Kaling, Regina King, Julia Louis-Dreyfus, Rami Malek.
Others are Lin-Manuel Miranda, Anthony Ramos, Mark Ruffalo, Kelly Marie Tran, Kristen Wiig, James Corden, Penélope Cruz, Beanie Feldstein, Zack Gottsegen, Diane Keaton, Shia LaBeouf, George MacKay, Steve Martin, Keanu Reeves, Maya Rudolph, and Sigourney Weaver.
Musical performances include Elton John singing "(I’m Gonna) Love Me Again" from the movie 'Rocketman', Idina Menzel and Aurora will perform "Into the Unknown" from Frozen 2, and Cynthia Erivo will sing "Stand Up" from the movie 'Harriet'.
Other performers are Randy Newman will sing "I Can’t Let You Throw Yourself Away" from Toy Story, actor Chrissy Metz is expected to sing "I’m Standing With You" from Breakthrough and a special performance by Billie Eilish.
Moreso, a tribute will be paid to the late basketball icon, Kobe Bryant, who died in a helicopter crash on January 26 alongside his 13-year-old daughter and seven others.
