The Oscars are here.

After going without a host for three consecutive years in a row, the 94th Academy Awards will be helmed by the trio of Wanda Sykes, Regina hall and Amy Schumer. History will be made since this is the first time the ceremony has ever been hosted by three women.

Several changes have been made to this year’s Oscars, including the introduction of a new award: the Fan-Favorite Award, which will be decided by a popular vote held on Twitter. This award aims to spotlight box office busing films that didn’t receive nods from the Academy like “No Time to Die” and “Spider-Man: No Way Home.”

The presentation of the awards will also differ, as eight categories will be taped before the start of the live broadcast, and the footage will be broken up throughout the broadcast.
