Who is presenting the Oscars 2022 and who else is handing out the awards?

In one of the most hotly anticipated nights in the Hollywood calendar, the 94th annual Oscars 2022 are due to be held tonight (March 27).

The glamorous event ( first held in 1929 ) will be at the Dolby Theatre in Hollywood, California, where the ceremony is scheduled to begin at 5 pm local time (1am GMT) and usually lasts for around three hours.

As well as the distribution of the awards, four of the five tracks nominated for Best Song will be performed live on the night, including Beyonce singing "Be Alive" from King Richard, and Billie Eilish and Finneas O'Connell performing their hit Bond soundtrack "No Time To Die".
