Listen, folks, we all know the Academy Awards are a big deal. It's the night when Hollywood's finest gather to celebrate the best in film. But this year, there's a bit of a stir. While many stars say being nominated is as prestigious as winning, some are feeling a little miffed that four Oscar categories will be handed out during commercial breaks instead of during the live broadcast. Why? Well, it's all about cutting down the show's runtime and trying to reverse the trend of declining ratings.

Now, before you panic, the acceptance speeches for these winners won't be completely lost in the shuffle. They'll still be featured somewhere during the awards show and live-streamed on Oscar.com. So, don't worry, you won't miss out entirely on the magic. The categories affected by this decision are cinematography, film editing, makeup and hairstyling, and live-action short. If you're curious, scroll down to see the full list of nominees in each category.
