The 91st Academy Awards are set to air live from the Dolby Theatre in Los Angeles Sunday. Here’s what to know.

HOST

This year’s ceremony will be host-free. Kevin Hart was set to do the honors, but stepped down after decades-old homophobic tweets were resurfaced.

No replacement host was named; this will be the first ceremony without a host in 30 years.

Instead, there will be a star-studded cast of presenters, including Chris Evans, Tina Fey, Awkwafina, Chadwick Boseman, Daniel Craig, Whoopi Goldberg, Brie Larson, Jennifer Lopez, Amy Poehler, Maya Rudolph, Amandla Stenberg, Charlize Theron, Tessa Thompson and Constance Wu.
