Oscars 2022 will begin with a live broadcast from the Dolby Theatre at the Hollywood & Highland Center on March 27 at 5 pm PST or 8 pm EST. People from different countries, like Singapore, Japan, Malaysia, Thailand, Indonesia, India, China, Denmark, Spain, Mexico, Brazil, South Africa, and Australia, can enjoy the 94th annual award ceremony sitting at their homes.
The Academy Awards will be telecast live on ABC this year, and it will be available to watch in various parts of the world, including the US, Canada, the Philippines, Europe, Peru, Saudi Arabia, the UK, France, Finland, Germany, Argentina, and Nigeria. However, the Academy announced earlier that eight awards will be presented before the live telecast.
The awards, which will be presented, before the award show goes live on air, are production design, sound, makeup and hair, editing, original score, documentary short, animated short, and live-action short. The new format change has been proved controversial within the industry and the Academy.
"To provide more time and opportunity for audience entertainment and engagement through comedy, musical numbers, film clip packages, and movie tributes... eight awards will initially be presented in the Dolby Theatre in the hour before the live broadcast begins. Those presentations will then be edited by our creative and production teams and will be folded seamlessly into the live televised show", David Rubin, the president of the Academy, said in a statement.
