An Indian documentary on women Dalit journalists titled Writing with Fire has been nominated for Best Documentary Feature.
Oscar nominations were announced by Black-ish star Tracee Ellis Ross and actor-comedian Leslie Jordan; Some of the awards were announced by several guests including actress Phylicia Rashad, wrestler Titus O’Neill and even a group of firefighters.

Another highlight of this year’s Oscars is that it will be hosted for the first time since 2018, AFP news agency reported.
