Oscars 2022: Major academy awards categories to not air live

Award categories include documentary short, film editing, makeup/hairstyling, original score, production design, animated short, live-action short, and sound

AcademyAwards President David Rubin on Wednesday issued a statement stating that eight awards categories will not be presented live. Instead, they will be handed out off-air an hour before the live broadcast begins, Qazet.az reports citing Sputnik.

"Those categories will not be presented in the pre-show nor on the red carpet, instead, the in-person ceremony at the Dolby Theatre will begin one hour earlier to present eight awards categories before the live telecast will begin", Rubin said. "Those presentations will then be edited by our creative and production teams and will be folded seamlessly into the live televised show".

These award categories include documentary short, film editing, makeup/hairstyling, original score, production design, animated short, live-action short, and sound.
