After the shortest awards season in decades, the 92nd annual Academy Awards will get underway Sunday evening at the Dolby Theatre in Los Angeles. The red carpet is being rolled out two to three weeks earlier than usual in a bid to freshen up a ceremony and potentially boost ratings.
The truncated time table has put the normally bloated Oscars season on a diet (Sunday's show will also for the second straight year be hostless) and sent film academy members scrambling to finish their movie-watching no small task in a year featuring a few three-hour epics like "The Irishman" and "Once Upon a Time ... in Hollywood."
