The countdown begins: Alfonso Cuaron’s Roma and Peter Farelly’s Green Book are the frontrunners for Best Picture as The Academy of Motion Picture Arts and Sciences prepares for Oscars night on February 24 (February 25 morning for viewers in India). British rock band Queen will be among the performers, Reuters said. The 91st Academy Awards will open without a host and an opening monologue for the first time in 30 years after the withdrawal of comedian Kevin Hart because of past homophobic tweets. Picture shows a closed section of Hollywood Boulevard in front of Dolby Theater, where the ceremony will be held.
