It's that time of year again. The last show of awards season is here this weekend and the Academy Awards are celebrating the best movies of the year — and bringing big names back to the red carpet. Those stars will join writers, directors, cinematographers, and more for the big show.

Benedict Cumberbatch, Kirsten Dunst, and Jesse Plemons star in this year's most-nominated movie, The Power of the Dog, with Dune not far behind. Here's everything you need to know if you're looking to tune in.

When are the 2022 Oscars?

The Oscars will be on Sunday, March 27 at 5 p.m. PT/8 p.m. ET. Unlike last year's special event at Los Angeles's Union Station, the show is returning to the Dolby Theatre at Hollywood and Highland.

How long are the 2022 Oscars?

The show is usually three hours long, but this year, the show is getting trimmed down and should be shorter.

Who is hosting the Oscars this year?

The Oscars haven't had a host since 2018, when Jimmy Kimmel had emcee duties. The 2022 ceremony will bring back a host in a big way: by enlisting three of them. This year's ceremony will feature Wanda Sykes, Amy Schumer, and Regina Hall — and their signature brands of comedy — at the mic.
