The 90th Academy Awards ceremony, presented by the Academy of Motion Picture Arts and Sciences (AMPAS), is honoring the best films of 2017 and is presently taking place at the Dolby Theatre in Hollywood, Los Angeles, California.[1] The ceremony was scheduled after its usual late-February date to avoid conflicting with the 2018 Winter Olympics.[2] During the ceremony, AMPAS will present Academy Awards (commonly referred to as Oscars) in 24 categories. The ceremony is being televised in the United States by American Broadcasting Company (ABC), produced by Michael De Luca and Jennifer Todd and directed by Glenn Weiss.[3] Comedian Jimmy Kimmel is hosting for a consecutive year, making him the first person to host back-to-back ceremonies since Billy Crystal in 1997 and 1998.[4]
In related events, the Academy held its 9th Annual Governors Awards ceremony at the Grand Ballroom of the Hollywood and Highland Center on November 11, 2017.[5] On February 10, 2018, in a ceremony at the Beverly Wilshire Hotel in Beverly Hills, California, the Academy Scientific and Technical Awards were presented by host Patrick Stewart.[6]

Ceremony information
Despite the mixed reception received from the preceding year's ceremony, the Academy rehired Michael De Luca and Jennifer Todd as producers for the second consecutive year.[47] In May 2017, it was announced that Jimmy Kimmel will return as host for a second consecutive year.[48] Kimmel expressed that he was thrilled to be selected to MC the gala again, commenting, "Hosting the Oscars was a highlight of my career and I am grateful to Cheryl [Boone Isaacs], Dawn [Hudson], and the Academy for asking me to return to work with two of my favorite people, Mike De Luca and Jennifer Todd. If you think we screwed up the ending this year, wait until you see what we have planned for the 90th anniversary show!"[49] Jimmy extensively campaigned for the ceremony, shooting several promos and discussions on his talk show.
On December 4, 2017, it was announced that the timing of the ceremony and its pre-show has been changed and both are scheduled to broadcast a half-hour earlier than prior telecasts.[50][51] In the first half of the nominations announcement pre-taped category introductions were included by actresses Priyanka Chopra, Rosario Dawson, Gal Gadot, Salma Hayek, Michelle Rodriguez, Zoe Saldana, Molly Shannon, Rebel Wilson and Michelle Yeoh.[52][53]
As per the tradition of the Academy, the previous year's Best Actor winner usually presents the Best Actress award for the next year's ceremony; in lieu of this, last year Best Actor winner Casey Affleck has reportedly decided not to attend the ceremony due to his sexual harassment allegations.[54][55] Jodie Foster and Jennifer Lawrence will present the award together in place of Affleck.[56] The Best Actor award will also be presented by Jane Fonda and Helen Mirren.[57] Warren Beatty and Faye Dunaway will return to present the Best Picture Award for the second year in the row, after last year's announcement error.[58][59]
