Several Black stars showed up at the 96th Academy Awards Sunday night (March 10) in hopes of taking one of the most prestigious honors in entertainment. Late-night talk show host Jimmy Kimmel hosted the high-profile ceremony for the fourth time at the Dolby Theatre in Los Angeles with many actors, moviemakers, and celebrities in attendance.
Danielle Brooks, Da’Vine Joy Randolph, Sterling K. Brown, Colman Domingo, and Jeffrey Wright were nominated for their phenomenal acting roles. This year’s presenters included previous Oscar winners and prominent actors such as Zendaya, Dwayne “The Rock” Johnson, Mahershala Ali, and Lupita Nyong’o. Grammy-winner Jon Batiste delivered a heartwarming performance during the award ceremony.
