It is reported that Nick Jonas and his wife actress Priyanka Chopra Jonas will unveil nominations in all 23 categories for the 93rd annual Academy Awards first thing on Monday morning. The two-part live stream will be aired on Oscar.com, Oscars.org and across the Academy’s Twitter, YouTube and Facebook accounts.
On 8.19 am ET (US Eastern Time) on March 15 the first part will begin where nine categories will be revealed including the original score. The second part will begin at 8.31 am ET and includes the final 14 categories including top prizes such as best picture and actor and actress in a leading role. In the second half, the original song nominees will be announced.
Trent Reznor, Atticus Ross and Jon Batiste picked up the prize at both the Golden Globes and Sunday’s Critics Choice Awards for the score for Disney and Pixar’s Soul and it looks like a lock for an original score Oscar nomination. It is a little less clear for the original song category with “Io Sì (Seen)” from The Life Ahead (La Vita Davanti a Se) earning a Globe for Diane Warren, Laura Pausini and Niccolò Agliardi, while “Speak Now” from One Night in Miami… (credited to Sam Ashworth and Leslie Odom Jr.) won the Critics Choice Award in the same category.
According to Billboard, viewers have to wait till Monday to see who the Jonases announced in both music categories, while also looking out for possible music-adjacent acting nods for Odom as Sam Cooke in One Night, Globe winner Andra Day as Billie Holiday in The United States vs. Billie Holiday, and Viola Davis in Ma Rainey’s Black Bottom.
The Academy Awards are set to air on Sunday, April 25, on ABC.
