When are the 2020 Oscars?
The 92nd Academy Awards will take place on 9 February at the Dolby Theatre in the Hollywood and Highland Center in Los Angeles.
Meanwhile, ABC Entertainment president Karey Burke revealed that the ceremony will not have a host again. The announcement was made during the Television Critics Association's winter press tour in Pasadena, California. She said: "Let me confirm it now, together with the Academy, that there will be no traditional host this year."
"Odds are you'll see us repeating what we consider to be a successful formula," she added.
In 2019, the show took place without a host after Kevin Hart stepped down from his master of ceremonies role, after some old homophobic tweets of his resurfaced. Following the backlash, he apologised for his insensitive words, in a series of tweets: "I have made the choice to step down from hosting this year's Oscar's....this is because I do not want to be a distraction on a night that should be celebrated by so many amazing talented artists. I sincerely apologize to the LGBTQ community for my insensitive words from my past."
"I'm sorry that I hurt people.. I am evolving and want to continue to do so. My goal is to bring people together not tear us apart. Much love & appreciation to the Academy. I hope we can meet again," he added.
Adding on, in a tweet, Academy indicated the show would still have stars, performances and surprises.
The previous hosts of the Oscars include Ellen DeGeneres, Neil Patrick Harris, Chris Rock and Jimmy Kimmel.
