It’s that time of year again - the Oscars are here, with the 94th edition of the Academy Awards taking place in Hollywood on Sunday night. The ceremony traditionally takes place in February or March every year although last year’s was an exception - the 2021 Oscars were moved back to late April due to the coronavirus pandemic, the latest it has ever been staged.
There will also be a difference in this year’s Academy Awards as it will be the first time since 2018 that the event will be hosted. Three presenters will be in charge of ensuring the Oscars flows smoothly while keeping the audience entertained - Regina Hall, Amy Schumer and Wanda Sykes will guide us through the night from the stage at the Dolby Theater.

Which television channels will be broadcasting the 2022 Academy Awards ceremony live?
The Oscars has traditionally been the most-watched, televised entertainment event in the US - well ahead of the likes of the Emmys, the Golden Globes and Grammys in terms of audience numbers. However, audience ratings have declined in recent years with 23 million viewers in 2020 and half of that figure last year tuning in. Nevertheless, the telecast is still the second highest-rated annual event behind the Super Bowl.
The 2022 Oscars will be beamed live around the world with over 200 countries broadcasting the ceremony live. For the second year running, Chinese state broadcaster CCTV has decided to give the Oscars a miss although it will likely give the event some coverage on its News Hour bulletin.
In the United States, ABC will be broadcasting the 2022 Oscars live from 1pm with a countdown live from the red carpet on Hollywood Boulevard where Amy Robach and T.J. Holmes will be interviewing A-listers on their way into the Dolby Theater. Coverage continues at 6:30pm with the Red Carpet Show which will take a look at the nominees and the artists who will be performing at the event - Billie Eilish and Beyoncé.
