The Academy plans to present Oscars in eight categories - documentary short, film editing, makeup/hairstyling, original score, production design, animated short, live-action short and sound - inside the Dolby Theatre an hour before the live telecast commences and have it recorded and edited into the subsequent live broadcast.

That decision was met with a storm of criticism when it was unveiled Feb.

Leadership of the film Academy held what was described as a “contentious” Zoom meeting on Friday morning with Oscar nominees for best sound as well as sound branch Governors following the call not to present eight categories live during the March 27 broadcast of the 93rd Academy Awards.
