The Academy of Motion Picture Arts and Sciences (AMPAS) staged the 92nd edition of the Oscars on Sunday night at the Dolby Theatre in Los Angeles, California.

AMPAS had earlier disqualified Genevieve Nnaji’s movie, Nigeria’s first-ever entry for the award, in a move that caused a stir among Nollywood stakeholders and foreign movie makers alike.

The Academy had later released a shortlist of entries, which was later followed by the nomination list spanning films that eventually competed for its 2020 award.
