This Year’s List Of Nominees

New Delhi:

The nominees for the 94th Academy Awards, were announced by TV show Black-ish star Tracee Ellis Ross and actor-comedian Leslie Jordan across all main as well as the technical awards. This year, the Oscars are scheduled to take place on March 27 at Los Angeles’ Dolby Theatre.

Last year, the ceremony took place a Los Angeles train station with no host. Another highlight of this year’s Oscars is that it will have a host for the first time since 2018, reported news agency AFP. In 2019, comedian Kevin Hart pulled out of hosting the Academy Awards after homophobic tweets he made several years earlier reemerged. Since then, the Oscars have been host-less.

Meanwhile, Tamil film Koozhangal, directed by PS Vinothra, was India’s official entry for the Academy Awards 2022. It failed to make the shortlist.
