The Academy of Motion Picture Arts and Sciences is taking a firm step to reconsider their much derided rule last year. The 2023 Academy Awards will feature live telecast of all the 23 categories after last year's heavily criticized decision to cut down on showcasing a few awards live in order to save time.

The categories that were not shown during the 2022 event included original score, makeup and hairstyling, documentary short, film editing, production design, animated short, live action short and sound. Speaking to Variety, Bill said, “We are committed to having a show that celebrates the artisans, the arts and sciences and the collaborative nature of moviemaking. This is very much what the mission of the Academy is, and I am very hopeful that we can do a show that celebrates all components of moviemaking in an entertaining and engaging way.”
