Leslie Jordan (Will & Grace) and Tracee Ellis Ross (black-ish) reveale the 2022 Oscars nominations from Los Angeles, with the help of “movie lovers” such as doctors, firefighters, and schoolchildren.
The 94th Academy Awards, the proper official title of the 2022 Oscars are set to take place 27th March 2022 in Los Angeles.
Due to extend eligibility requirements for last year’s nominees, the 2022 Oscars are only looking at films release in the US over a nine-month period, from 1st March, 2021 to 31st December, 2021.
And owing to the ongoing COVID-19 pandemic, movies that release only on streaming were once again eligible for the Oscars.
In India, the 2022 Oscars will be live stream on the morning of 28th March 2022.
An official broadcaster has yet to be finalise.
