Everything You Need To Know About The 2022 Oscars
Final preparations are underway for the 94th Academy Awards, and it is a long-awaited return to Hollywood's glamorous normalcy after a muted ceremony and ratings low last year.
The Oscars will be held on Sunday, March 27, at the Dolby Theatre in Los Angeles.
The ceremony is set to begin at 8 p.m.
ET and will be broadcast live on ABC.
Regina Hall, Amy Schumer, and Wanda Sykes are taking the stage to co-host the ceremony, which has been without an emcee for the past three years.
Producer Will Packer said each woman brings something different to the show.

Show producers will continue adding names throughout the week, but at the moment stars expected to hand out awards Oscar night include Bill Murray, Lady Gaga, Kevin Costner, Samuel L. Jackson, Zoe Kravitz, Anthony Hopkins, Lily James, Daniel Kaluuya, Mila Kunis, John Leguizamo, Sima Liu, Rami Malek, Lupita Nyong'o, and Rosie Perez.
On Wednesday, the Academy squashed one pre-show controversy by confirming that West Side Story star Rachel Zegler will be a presenter, a reversal that came after several days of uproar when the actor noted on social media she didn't have an Oscar invite.
Also added as presenters are Jason Momoa, Serena, and Venus Williams, J.K. Simmons, Josh Brolin, Jake Gyllenhaal, Jacob Laude, and Jill Scott.
Other performers will be Chris Rock, Naomi Scott, Wesley Snipes, Uma Thurman, John Travolta, Yu Jung Yoon, Ruthie Carter, Halle Bailey, Sean Diddy Combs, Jamie Lee Curtis, Woody Harrelson, Shawn Mendes, Tyler Perry, Tracee Ellis Ross, Stephanie Beatrice, DJ Khaled, Jennifer Garner, H.E.R., Tiffany Haddish, Tony Hawk, Elliot Page, Kelly Slater, and Sean White.
The Sussexes were taken off the guest list to attend the Oscars, according to the organizers.
Assuming that the Oscars are still happening this year, sources close to the after-parties and big events around the awards show say that they expect newly minted California residents Prince Harry and Meghan Markle to make an appearance, but nobody expected a certain Twilight star to put a snag in those major plans.
Sources told that Harry and Meghan might skip out on the Oscars altogether to avoid a run-in with Kristen Stewart, who played Princess Diana in the critically acclaimed Spencer, which is expected to nab her a Best Actress nomination.
It's struck a sour note with Harry.
He's pretty appalled by the film, a source told OK. Of course, it's understandable that he probably doesn't want to be associated with a movie that dramatizes a very specific moment in his late mother's life.
This could rob royal fans of a huge red carpet moment at the 94th Academy Awards.
The source added that the Sussexes have been invited to all the big events and planned on attending the Oscars, too, but they'd almost certainly come face-to-face with Stewart since she's a lock for a Best Actress nomination.
There's no guarantee either way just yet.
There's still time to figure things out, after all, and people close to the couple explain that Meghan might be able to convince Harry that it won't be that big of a deal.
She reportedly figures they can just ignore Kristen or be briefly polite, but Harry's not one to be fake, and his nerves are still raw, a source noted.
He's actually thinking about skipping the Oscars, but Meghan really wants back into the Hollywood scene.
