March 27, 2022

Since I was a kid I've been watching Academy awards. Like Roy Edroso, I too have a "childhood love of the dumb old Academy Awards."

The first one I can remember was in 1970. I loved "Butch Cassidy and the Sundance Kid." I wasn't even allowed to see "Midnight Cowboy."

Anyway, ABC is carrying tonight's event. You can livestream it here, and see some red carpet coverage.

It will be hosted by Regina Hall, Amy Schumer, and Wanda Sykes.

Here are some of tonight's nominations, via the New York Times.
