**94th Academy Awards: What to Expect at This Year’s Oscars**

The stage is set for the 94th Academy Awards, promising a return to Hollywood's glitzy grandeur after a subdued event and dwindling viewership last year.

Scheduled for Sunday, March 27, at the iconic Dolby Theatre in Los Angeles, the ceremony will kick off at 8 p.m.

ET, airing live on ABC.

This year, Regina Hall, Amy Schumer, and Wanda Sykes will share hosting duties, injecting fresh energy into an awards show that has been without a single emcee for the past three years.

Producer Will Packer expressed excitement about the unique contributions each host will bring to the table.

As the anticipation builds, more stars are being added to the lineup of presenters for Oscar night.

The star-studded list includes luminaries such as Bill Murray, Lady Gaga, Kevin Costner, Samuel L. Jackson, Zoe Kravitz, Anthony Hopkins, Lily James, Daniel Kaluuya, Mila Kunis, John Leguizamo, and many more.

In a recent development, the Academy put to rest a pre-show controversy by confirming Rachel Zegler's participation as a presenter.

This decision came after a social media outcry when Zegler disclosed she had not received an Oscar invitation.

Joining Zegler as presenters are renowned figures like Jason Momoa, Serena and Venus Williams, J.K. Simmons, Josh Brolin, and Jake Gyllenhaal, among others.

The star-studded event will also feature performances by Chris Rock, Naomi Scott, Wesley Snipes, Uma Thurman, and a host of other celebrities.

However, amidst the buzz surrounding the Oscars, a surprising twist emerged as Prince Harry and Meghan Markle were reportedly excluded from the guest list.

Speculation arose that the royal couple, now California residents, might attend the Oscars.

Yet, sources hinted at a potential change of plans due to a looming encounter with Kristen Stewart, whose portrayal of Princess Diana in “Spencer” is expected to earn her a Best Actress nomination.

According to insiders, Harry is disheartened by the film's depiction of his late mother's life and is reluctant to be associated with it.

The possibility of missing out on a red carpet moment at the Oscars looms large as the couple weighs their options.

While Meghan is keen on attending the prestigious event, Harry remains apprehensive about facing Stewart, given his genuine nature and lingering sensitivities.

As discussions unfold within their circle, Meghan attempts to assuage Harry's concerns, proposing they handle any potential encounter with grace or simply ignore it.

Nevertheless, Harry's reservations persist, raising doubts about his presence at the Oscars.

The couple's dilemma underscores the delicate balance between personal convictions and public expectations in the glittering world of Hollywood.
