The Academy won’t be presenting four categories live during this year’s Oscars telecast and the awards being handed out during the commercial breaks have been revealed.
This news was revealed by The Academy Awards president John Bailey in an email that was sent to members.
Apparently, 6 of the 17 branches of the Academy offered to have their respective awards presented during the commercial breaks.
The live stream is a first for our show, and will help further awareness and promotion of these award categories.”
