Also, it won't be a no-show for India despite the fact that India's official entry for the Oscars 2019 -- Rima Das' Assamese film 'Village Rockstars' failed to make it to the initial shortlist.  'Period. End of Sentence', an India-set film on the taboos around menstruation and featuring the real 'Pad Man' Arunachalam Muruganathan, is nominated in the Documentary Short Subject category. Apart from this, three films -- 'Green Book', 'First Man' and 'Ready Player One' -- backed by Anil Ambani-led Reliance Entertainment, have scored a total of 10 Oscar nominations.

The 2019 Oscars will presumably rely more heavily on presenters this year as the show is without a host for the first time in 30 years.
