The 97th Academy Awards will be held on March 3rd (Korean time). In Korea, it will be exclusively broadcast live on the movie channel OCN.
The host will be America's famous comedian, Conan O'Brien. OCN will feature broadcaster and interpreter Ahn Hyun-mo, pop columnist Kim Tae-hoon, and film director Lee Kyung-mi conveying the excitement from the event.
The film with the most nominations this year is 'Emilia Perez,' nominated in 13 categories. It tells the story of a Mexican drug lord who undergoes gender reassignment surgery to evade the authorities.
The highlight of the ceremony is the 'Best Picture' award, with a fierce competition expected this year as well. In addition to many Hollywood films, there are also OTT films included. Titles such as 'Dune: Part 2,' 'Complete Unknown,' 'Wicked,' and 'Substance' are among them.
Another point of interest is whether Demi Moore will take home an award. She has been nominated for the Academy Award for Best Actress for the first time in 45 years with 'Substance.' The film is a thriller centered on the theme of obsession with appearance and has already been recognized at various prestigious film festivals for its artistic value.
Meanwhile, the 97th Academy Awards will air on OCN at 9 AM on March 3rd (local U.S. time: 7 PM on March 2nd).
