When were the 2020 Oscars?

The Oscars red carpet and awards ceremony took place on February 9th, 2020. As usual, the glitzy ceremony aired from the Dolby Theatre in the Hollywood and Highland Center in Los Angeles. The show was televised live in more than 25 countries and territories worldwide - including the UK.

Who hosted the Oscars 2020?

Just like 2019, the Oscars did not have a single host for 2020.

Comedian Kevin Hart was supposed to present the show in 2019 but pulled out when historic homophobic tweets resurfaced - which he initially refused to apologise for.

In the absence of a host, several celebrities took to the stage to hand out awards - and the format was credited for giving the ceremony a ratings boost in 2019.

Commenting on the decision to not have a host, BC entertainment president Karey Burke told : "Together with the Academy, we have decided there will be no traditional host, repeating for us what worked last year.

"It will have huge entertainment values, big musical numbers, comedy and star power."

Talk show host Jimmy Kimmel was the last official Oscars host back in 2018.
