Each year, one or two artists host the ceremony starting by an opening number or a monologue.
And
then the concerned movies are presented and the artists who recorded the nominees for Best Original
Song quite often perform those songs live at the awards ceremony, and the fact that they are
performing is often used to promote the television broadcast.
In each category, one of the 5 nominees
is awarded of the Oscar given by another artist.
This year, it was special because it was Michelle
Obama who announced Best Picture , awarded to Argo , live from the Diplomatic Room of the White
House .
