The Oscars are fully committing to the idea that this year’s ceremony will be like a “movie” — not an awards show — and have now announced its “ensemble cast” of stars to present the night’s prizes. This year’s ceremony is “starring,” in alphabetical order, Angela Bassett, Halle Berry, Bong Joon Ho, Don Cheadle, Bryan Cranston, Laura Dern, Harrison Ford, Regina King, Marlee Matlin, Rita Moreno, Joaquin Phoenix, Brad Pitt, Reese Witherspoon, Renée Zellweger and Zendaya. Names like Ford, King, Matlin, Moreno, Witherspoon and Cranston are mixed in with the tradition of inviting back the previous year’s winners, which include Bong, Dern, Phoenix, Pitt and Zellweger. Additional talent to join the “cast” will be announced later.

The show also released a new teaser for the ceremony, which you can watch above. “In a world filled with awards shows, what if an awards show was actually a movie? Which stars would you cast?” the promo asks, before touting its new star-studded lineup.

The 93rd Academy Awards air live on ABC on Sunday, April 25, at 8 p.m. ET/5 p.m. PT. The awards-show-as-a-movie will take place at Union Station in Los Angeles and the Dolby Theatre in Hollywood, as well as in international locations live via satellite.

Sheryl Underwood is ready to move on from all of this Sharon Osbourne drama, but first, the (remaining) co-hosts of CBS’ “The Talk” about going to talk about it. At the top of Monday’s return, Underwood set up a very different kind of hour for the daytime gabfest. “It’s Monday, April 12, and it’s time for an episode of ‘The Talk’ that will be unlike any other we’ve had before.” Underwood said in the opening. “As you may know, during our break, Sharon decided to leave ‘The Talk.’ We need to process the events of that day and what happened since, so we can get to the healing. Over the next hour, we will honestly discuss what occurred and explore some of our feelings. And we’ll also show you how anyone can become more comfortable discussing important issues and having difficult conversations. By the end of the hour, we want everyone to feel empowered and ready to move forward. So, let’s start talking.

During the March 10 episode of “The Talk,” Osbourne came to the defense of longtime friend Piers Morgan after he was criticized for making disparaging comments about Meghan Markle. Some critics, including Underwood, said Morgan’s words where racially motivated (Markle, whose mother is Black, is biracial), leading to an on-air meltdown in which Osbourne said she felt like she was “about to be put in the electric chair” for having a racist friend. Morgan made headlines for saying he did not believe a word Markle told Oprah Winfrey in a recent high-profile interview. During the special, which aired on CBS, the former “Suits” star was highly critical of the British royal family. Markle and her husband Prince Harry defected from their royal duties and status. Also Read: Sharon Osbourne Ousted From 'The Talk' Following Racism Firestorm Soon after the discussion, CBS launched an internal review into the on-air comments about racism and allegations of racially insensitive behavior behind-the-scenes at “The Talk.” A few weeks later, on March 26, Osbourne exited the show. “The events of the March 10 broadcast were upsetting to everyone involved, including the audience watching at home. As part of our review, we concluded that Sharon’s behavior toward her co-hosts during the March 10 episode did not align with our values for a respectful workplace. We also did not find any evidence that CBS executives orchestrated the discussion or blindsided any of the hosts,” CBS said in a statement at the time. “At the same time, we acknowledge the Network and Studio teams, as well as the showrunners, are accountable for what happened during that broadcast as it was clear the co-hosts were not properly prepared by the staff for a complex and sensitive discussion involving race,” Today, hosts Sheryl Underwood, Carrie Ann Inaba, Amanda Kloots and Elaine Welteroth returned to the air with a discussion about race and healing, according to the episodic description. Joining them was expert on diversity, equity, inclusion, and justice Dr. Donald E. Grant, whom offered advice on how to have these sorts of difficult conversations. Additionally, trauma therapist/life coach Dr. Anita Phillips shared her expertise on how to heal after a painful event or conversation. “The Talk” airs at 2 p.m. ET on CBS.

Visitors returned to London Zoo as it reopened to the public after the third national lockdown. The zoo paid tribute to the Duke of Edinburgh, remembering his support for the Zoological Society of London’s conservation work. Prince Philip was President of the Zoological Society of London from 1960 to 1977, and an Honorary Fellow from 1977. His Royal Highness visited ZSL zoos on several occasions, including with the Queen in 2016 to open the Land of the Lions exhibit. London Zoo closed its gates for 18 weeks in 2020, following coronavirus lockdowns. The ZSL says the enforced closures have put its zoos under financial pressure, as income from ticket sales is used to care for the animals and fund global conservation efforts.
