The 92nd Academy Awards ceremony, presented by the Academy of Motion Picture Arts and Sciences (AMPAS), honored the best films of 2019 and took place at the Dolby Theatre in Hollywood, Los Angeles, California.[1] After more than a decade of holding the Academy Award ceremonies towards the end of February, the 92nd Academy Awards is taking place earlier in the month, on February 9, 2020.[1][2] During the ceremony, AMPAS presented Academy Awards (commonly referred to as Oscars) in 24 categories. The ceremony was televised in the United States by ABC, produced by Lynette Howell Taylor and Stephanie Allain; it was directed by Glenn Weiss.[3] Citing the success of the format at the 91st presentation in 2019, ABC announced that the ceremony would once again be conducted without a host.[4]
Bong Joon-ho's Parasite won four awards, including Best Picture – the first time a foreign-language film won this award – Best Director for Bong, Best International Film, and Best Original Screenplay.[5]
In related events, the Academy held its 11th Annual Governors Awards ceremony at the Grand Ballroom of the Hollywood and Highland Center on October 27, 2019.[6]
Nominees
[edit]The nominees for the 92nd Academy Awards were announced on January 13, 2020, at 5:18 a.m. PST (13:18 UTC), at the Academy's Samuel Goldwyn Theater in Beverly Hills, by actors and producers John Cho and Issa Rae.[7]
Ceremony information
[edit]During its board of directors meeting in April 2019, the Academy voted to rename the "Best Foreign Language Film" category to "Best International Feature Film". Animated and documentary films will also be eligible for the renamed award, but the remaining criteria remain—requiring nominees to have the majority of their dialogue be in a language other than English.[9][10]
