Nominees

The nominees for the 91st Academy Awards will be announced on January 22, 2019, at 5:20 a.m. PST (13:20 UTC), at the Samuel Goldwyn Theater in Beverly Hills, California, via global live stream, from the Academy and by actors Kumail Nanjiani and Tracee Ellis Ross.[3]

Ceremony information

Due to the mixed receptions and declining ratings for the last two ceremonies, producers Michael De Luca and Jennifer Todd declined to helm the Oscar production. They were replaced by Donna Gigliotti and Glenn Weiss as producers.[4][5]

Best Popular Film

On August 8, 2018, the Academy of Motion Picture Arts and Sciences announced the creation of a brand new category, Best Popular Film, to reward the best popular films of the year.[6] The category was met with exceedingly negative reception. The following month, the Academy announced that the category will be delayed to "examine and seek additional input regarding the new category."[7]

Host selection

On December 4, 2018, it was announced that Kevin Hart would host the ceremony.[8] Hart expressed that it was truly an honor and a thrill to be asked to host the Academy Awards, commenting, "For years I have been asked if I would ever host the Oscars and my answer was always the same... I said that it would be the opportunity of a lifetime for me as a comedian and that it will happen when it's supposed to. I am so happy to say that the day has finally come for me to host the Oscars. I am blown away simply because this has been a goal on my list for a long time.... To be able to join the legendary list of hosts that have graced that stage is unbelievable."[9] A controversy emerged when past jokes and comments made by Hart were found to contain anti-gay slurs and language; Hart withdrew from hosting duties on December 6, saying he did not want to be a "distraction" to the ceremony.[10][11] Previous Oscar hosts such as Seth MacFarlane, Ellen DeGeneres, Neil Patrick Harris, Chris Rock, and Jimmy Kimmel expressed no interest in hosting the show.[12]

On January 9, 2019, it was reported that the Academy was planning to hold the ceremony without a host, instead having selected presenters introduce segments and awards; it is set to be the first ceremony without a designated host since the 61st Academy Awards in 1989.[13]
