When will the winners be announced at the Oscars awards ceremony?
The 94th Academy Awards will take place on Sunday, March 27, live from the Dolby Theater in Hollywood at 5pm local time – meaning it will start at 1am UK time.
The host of the ceremony has yet to be announced and it is expected it will last around three hours.
The Oscars are usually screened live for UK viewers on Sky Cinema and Now TV.
Who are ‘The Academy’?
The Academy of Motion Picture Arts and Sciences is made up of more than 10,000 members who are artists, filmmakers, and executives working in film.
These members vote for the eventual winners of the Oscars each year, while the Academy also supports a wide range of initiatives to promote the art and science of the movies, including public programming, educational outreach and the Academy Museum of Motion Pictures.
