This year will be the 91st anniversary of the awards show and a new host for the event hasnt been announced yet.

Kevin Hart was initially confirmed to front this years Oscars, but he stepped down from the role last month after controversial tweets from the comedians past began to resurface.

A new category called Bes Popular Film was originally going to be launched at this years ceremony, but after a negative reaction it was announced that it would no longer be presented this year.

It was announced in September that the category would be postponed with statement saying The Academy recognised that implementing any new award nine months into the year creates challenges for films that have already been released.
