Academy Awards

Unlike recent awards ceremonies such as the Golden Globes, Baftas and Emmys, the Oscars have asked nominees to attend one of the locations in person.

Mank leads the nominees with 10, but is unlikely to win the night's top prizes.

Instead, films including Nomadland, Minari, and Ma Rainey's Black Bottom could perform strongly in some of the major categories.

The main elements of the ceremony will come from Los Angeles, as usual. The event will be split across two venues in the city - the Dolby Theatre and Union Station.

In addition to what is now being referred to as "Envelopegate," in which "La La Land" was mistakenly named best picture when "Moonlight" actually won, the Academy kind of killed off the wrong person.

Here's what happened:

During the "In Memoriam" tribute to industry artists who died during the past year, the death of an Australian costume designer Janet Patterson was noted.

But the image that appeared in the video montage was of Australian producer Jan Chapman.

The very much alive Chapman was pretty upset by the mix-up.

And he'll be the first to admit he's a little nervous about it.

"It's something I was hoping to be asked to do, but I didn't necessarily ever want to do it," Kimmel said with a laugh in an interview Tuesday. "I know all the baggage that comes along with it and the work that comes along with it, and also the criticism that inevitably also comes along with it."

"I wanted to do it but I've also feared doing it -- and I still fear doing it." he told CNN.
