With a short statement, the hollywood academy unveiled the list of awardees oscar which will be delivered on Sunday, March 12 at the Dolby Theater.
And there is a peculiarity: of the sixteen names announced, fifteen are actors. And the only director… is a musician, Questlove, who won an Oscar for his documentary Summer of Soul (…or, when the revolution couldn’t be televised)in last year’s edition.
Executive producers and showrunners Glenn Weiss and Ricky Kirshner and executive producer Molly McNearney unveiled the slate.
As often happens, the supporting actors who won their statuette in the previous edition deliver the prizes to the new winners: the best supporting actress goes to the best supporting actor and vice versa. So the names of Ariana DeBose (she won it for Love without barriers) and Troy Kotsur (the deaf actor who played the family man in the also Best Picture winner tail) are not surprising.

Those in charge of announcing the winners and/or perhaps, in one of them, the snippets of the 10 Oscar-nominated films, which will be presented at the 95th edition of the awards are, in alphabetical order, the following:
