Who's hosting?
Jimmy Kimmel will host for the third time and his first time since 2018, the last Oscars to feature a solo host. The late-night host said he's just about ready for anything.
"There are only two ways to prepare for the Oscar broadcast. One is to write a ton of jokes," Kimmel said. "And the other is to try and fit into your tuxedo. So I've been writing and starving."

Who's performing?
The Academy of Motion Pictures Arts and Sciences has said that winners to all categories will be announced live on the show.

Keeravaani's "Naatu Naatu" from "RRR." Nominee Lady Gaga, on the other hand, will not sing "Hold My Hand," from "Top Gun: Maverick," during the show. On Monday, show producers announced that Lenny Kravitz will deliver the "In Memoriam" performance.
