Hollywood’s biggest night! Broadcast live on ABC at 8:30 p.m. ET, the 89th Annual Academy Awards will be held Sunday, February 26, at the Dolby Theatre in Los Angeles.
Jimmy Kimmel will serve as the evening’s master of ceremonies for the first time — he even asked Billy Crystal for advice based on the comedian’s eight years of Oscar hosting experience. The late-night host, 49, will share the stage with presenters such as Amy Adams, Halle Berry, Scarlett Johansson, Dwayne Johnson and David Oyelowo, and performers Justin Timberlake, John Legend, Lin-Manuel Miranda and Sting, all of whom are recognized in the Best Original Song category.
The Damien Chazelle-directed La La Land leads the pack with 14 nominations, tying it with Titanic (1997) and All About Eve (1950) for the most nods for a single film in Oscar history. Titanic, Ben-Hur (1959) and The Lord of the Rings: The Return of the King (2003) currently hold the record for most Academy Awards won by a single film, with each nabbing 11 statues.
Just behind the movie musical starring Emma Stone and Ryan Gosling is the emotional coming-of-age drama Moonlight and sci-fi mystery Arrival, both with eight nominations. Meryl Streep picked up her 20th nod, and if she takes home the Actress in a Leading Role prize for her part in Florence Foster Jenkins, her four Oscar victories would make her the winningest actress in the show’s history, tied with Katharine Hepburn.
