Vanessa Hudgens debuts baby bump on Oscars red carpet
Actress Vanessa Hudgens debuted a baby bump on the red carpet at the Oscars tonight. Hudgens is married to Major League Baseball outfielder Cole Tucker.
Oscars attendees are starting to arrive on the red carpet. And this year, it’s actually red
As stars make their glamorous entrance at the 96th Academy Awards today, they’ll be strolling down a carpet of a familiar hue: red. It might seem unnecessary to observe the color of the red carpet, but last year’s award show featured a champagne-colored carpet, marking a break with tradition. Curious about what it’s like on the other side of the carpet?
The live Oscars telecast will start one hour earlier than in past years. Here’s what to know
The Oscars telecast is set to start one hour earlier than in years past, which means we’ll all hopefully get off to bed a little earlier tonight. In an Academy of Motion Picture Arts and Sciences first, the live telecast of the premier awards event will begin at 7 p.m. ET (4 p.m. PT) instead of its usual start time one hour later, the organization announced late last year.
ABC will air a 30-minute pre-show leading into the live telecast starting at 6:30 p.m. ET, and a new episode of the Emmy-winning comedy “Abbott Elementary” will air immediately following the end of the Oscars ceremony, according the announcement.
The Academy has also stipulated that the runtime of this year’s show will be three and a half hours, which would be in keeping with the average duration of the event (although it often encroaches on four hours). Late night’s Jimmy Kimmel is set to host for the fourth time when the 96th Academy Awards air live on ABC and broadcast outlets worldwide tonight.
