What will the 2022 Oscars look like?
Unlike the scaled-back ceremony that took place in 2021, this year's event is said to be free of Covid-19 restrictions such as social distancing and mask wearing and will feel - and look - a lot more like the pre-coronavirus show in 2020.
Another major change that viewers can expect is that several key categories will not be presented live. Editing, Makeup & Hairstyling, Original Score, Production Design, Sound, and all the shorts will be given out before the cameras start rolling and then edited into the telecast. This small but significant change has caused a huge outrage with movie purists who believe that all categories deserve to be celebrated during the ceremony.
Who will be performing at the 2022 Oscars?
There will also be a number of musical performances from the likes of Beyonce, Billie Eilish, Sebastián Yatra and Reba McEntire. Additionally, the cast of the animated film Encanto will perform We Don’t Talk About Bruno and Oscar-nominated track Dos Origuitas.
