How to Watch the 2022 Oscars and Everything Else You Need to Know

Have you filled out your 2022 Oscars ballot yet? Because the 94th Academy Awards are here and there's little time to waste. Oscar statuettes are being handed out at the Kodak Theater in Los Angeles on Sunday as Hollywood celebrates another year at the movies. While the still-rampant COVID-19 pandemic put a somber cloud over last year's ceremony, Oscar producers are hoping to bring back some fun in the 2022 celebrations. 

All of the presenters, including West Side Story star Rachel Zegler, whose initial lack of invitation sparked online outrage, have been announced. There will be musical performances this year, including the first-ever live performance of Encanto's "We Don't Talk About Bruno" from Adassa, Stephanie Beatriz, Mauro Castillo, Carolina Gaitan, and Diane Guerrero, along with Becky G and Luis Fonsi. And we won't talk about how that isn't the nominated song from the film, because we're just excited this is happening! 

As for the hosts, ABC has announced a trio of hosts for this year's ceremony, making this the first time the Oscars will be emceed since Jimmy Kimmel led the ceremony in 2018. We also know which nominees will be up for awards this year, with Jane Campion's The Power of the Dog receiving nods in 12 categories, the most of any film this year, followed by Denis Villeneuve's Dune with 10. Both movies were nominated for Best Picture, along with Belfast, CODA, Don't Look Up, Drive My Car, King Richard, Licorice Pizza, Nightmare Alley, and West Side Story.
