The noms for the 97th annual Academy Awards will be unveiled Thursday.
Rachel Sennott and Bowen Yang will announce the nominations for the 97th annual Academy Awards.
The announcement will take place starting at 5:30 a.m. PT on Thursday in a live presentation from the Academy of Motion Picture Arts and Sciences’ Samuel Goldwyn Theater.
The two actor-writer-comedians will announce nominees in all 24 Oscar categories. The announcement will also be live streamed globally on Oscar.com, Oscars.org and the Academy’s digital platforms (TikTok, Instagram, YouTube, Facebook). It will also be broadcast on ABC’s Good Morning America and stream on ABC News Live, Disney+ and Hulu.
Sennott’s credits include Jason Reitman’s film Saturday Night, which goes behind the scenes of the 90 minutes leading up to the first broadcast of Saturday Night Live in 1975. Yang, meanwhile, currently stars on NBC’s SNL.
Sennott’s credits also include Shiva Baby, Bodies Bodies Bodies and I Used to Be Funny.
Yang’s credits also include Wicked, The Garfield Movie and Good Burger 2.
The announcement for the 97th Oscar noms was originally set to take place Jan. 17 but was pushed to Jan. 19 due to the wildfires that broke out two weeks ago, destroying numerous structures around Los Angeles and impacting many Oscar voters. As a result, the Academy extended the voting window and subsequent announcement by two days.
As the fires continued to blaze across L.A., the Academy tweaked the timeline again, extending the voting window to Jan. 17, changing the announcement date to Jan. 23 and canceling its Oscar Nominees Luncheon. The Academy has said that it will donate the $250,000 that it planned to spend on this year’s Oscar Nominees Luncheon to help Angelenos affected by the wildfires.
Conan O’Brien will host the 97th Oscars telecast, which will take place as planned on March 2 at the Dolby Theatre in Hollywood. The ceremony will air be televised live on ABC in more than 200 territories around the world.
