An hour before the broadcast begins, eight awards will be handed out and accompanied by the winner's acceptance speech. These moments will be edited into a live broadcast that has been promised to be exactly three hours. The red carpet opened at 4 pm Eastern time, an hour earlier than usual, to accommodate the new format.
The evening will be hosted by a trio of female comedians; Amy Schumer, Wanda Sykes, and Regina Hall. Below is a list of the nominees for Best Picture, Best Director, and the acting categories.
