The 92nd Academy Awards are being held on Sunday 9 February 2020 at the Dolby Theatre in Hollywood, Los Angeles.

Filmmakers, on-screen stars and behind-the-scenes masterminds will be gathering once again to celebrate the best talent cinema has to offer, walking the red carpet before they take their seats and find out who will win the most coveted prizes in film.
