Ahead of the Oscars on March 15, the Academy of Motion Picture Arts and Sciences’ president Lynette Howell Taylor and CEO Bill Kramer spoke exclusively with The Hollywood Reporter about some of what audiences can expect from the 98th edition of Hollywood’s biggest night, which will again be hosted by Conan O’Brien and air on ABC.

Where does the show stand at the moment?
Bill Kramer I have to say, the show is looking incredible. One of the great benefits of bringing back Conan early, and Raj [Kapoor] and Katy [Mullan, the telecast’s producers], is that we have done so much planning for the show. It’s in incredible shape. And we’re thrilled with the nominations — great, historic nominations. We just jumped off a call with ABC going over the marketing plan, and it has never looked better.
Lynette Howell Taylor Our visual approach to the show is going to feel different — a warmer sort of tone.
