Live Performances

So far by joining bits and pieces from tweets we gathered that Jennifer Hudson will be singing the nominated song “I’ll fight”. Another song “The Place Where Lost Things Go” from Mary Poppins Returns will be performed. Kendrick Lamar is also expected to sing one of his songs.

 

Hosting and Presenting

Kumail Nanjiani and Tracee Ellis Ross hosted the nominations announcements. Kevin Hart was supposed to host the oscars but he stepped down. It is still unclear but most probably we will be witnessing this academic awards without a host.

Snubs and Surprises

One of the biggest snubs according to critics and media personalities this year is that Bradley Cooper failed to get nominated for the best director. First man not getting any major nominations, South Korea’s No Burning not making it to the foreign film list after being shortlisted, nothing much for Mary Poppins Returns except just one song are some other snubs of this year.
