The countdown for the 92nd Academy Awards, to be held at the Dolby Theatre in Los Angeles, has begun. Popularly known as the Oscars, the award show will be going host-less this year, just like the last time.
The ceremony will be telecast live on February 10 at 6.30 am IST in India. Hotstar will also stream the 2020 Oscars live for a limited time. The red-carpet event will be streamed on Twitter (@TheAcademy) at 5 am. Followers can also tune into Hotstar, a Star India-run streaming service, to watch the show live.
The Oscars will be broadcast on Star Movies, Star Movies HD and Star Movies Select HD in India. Its repeat telecast will be aired on Monday at 8.30 pm on Star Movies and Star Movies Select HD. This year's Oscar nominations have a strong list of contenders, with the likes of Joaquin Phoenix-starrer Joker, Martin Scorsese's The Irishman and Quentin Tarantino's Once Upon A Time In Hollywood competing for the first prize.
Currently, Joker is leading with 11 nominations, followed by 10 nominations each to Sam Mendes-directorial war film 1917, Once Upon A Time In Hollywood and The Irishman.
There has been much chatter around the 'India-angle- to 1917. Well, the movie which has bagged as many as 10 Oscar nominations, apparently has Reliance Entertainment associated with its production.
With the year having undergone a "streaming" transformation, Netflix has also made its way to the Oscars with quite a few nominations. The credit for this mainly goes to The Irishman, Marriage Story, The Two Popes and the documentary American Factory.
