The 94th Oscars will be held on Sunday, March 27, 2022, at the Dolby Theatre in Hollywood. It will be televised live on ABC at 8 p.m. ET/5 p.m. PT and in more than 200 territories worldwide.
It was previously announced that the Oscars will require most attendees to show proof of Coronavirus vaccination.
The Academy of Motion Picture Arts and Sciences determined that all nominees and invited guests inside the Dolby Theater must show proof of vaccination and test negative at least twice via PCR testing.
However, those performing and presenting the awards ceremony will not need to show proof of vaccination but will be tested ultracareful.
