The live-streamed disaster comes as&nbsp;the Academy of Motion Picture Arts and Sciences is&nbsp;making a woke push to diversify its voting membership by including more people from the non-Hollywood, global film community.<\/p>\n<figure id=\"D-ROS-B1\" class=\"a8d\"><\/figure>\n<figure id=\"M-ROS-B1\" class=\"a8d\"><\/figure>\n<figure id=\"gmxrevmore\" class=\"H\"><\/figure>\n<p>Tracee Ellis Ross and Leslie Jordan \u2014 who are primarily TV actors \u2014 were inexplicably chosen to announce this year\u2019s nominations in a live, virtual event that quickly went south.<\/p>\n<p>The announcers mispronounced the names of <em>Dune<\/em> director-screenwriterr Denis Villeneuve \u2014 \u201cDenoo Vellnoove\u201d \u2014 and <em>Belfast<\/em> actor Ciar\u00e1n Hinds \u2014 \u201cKorine Hends.\u201d<\/p>\n<p><strong><em>Watch below:<\/em><\/strong><\/p>\n<figure id=\"M-ROS-B2\" class=\"a8d\"><\/figure>\n[embedded content]\n[embedded content]\n<p><em>The Power of the Dog<\/em> producer&nbsp;Tanya Seghatchian heard her name uttered as unintelligible gibberish, as did <em>The Worst Person in the World<\/em>\u2018s director-screenwriter Joachim Trier.<\/p>\n<p>All were widely expected to earn nominations on Tuesday, which suggests that Ross and Jordan didn\u2019t bother to learn their names prior to the live stream. Miraculously, Leslie Jordan managed to pronounce the name of <em>Drive My Car<\/em> director&nbsp;Ryusuke Hamaguchi without too much difficulty.<\/p>\n<p>It was an unpromising start to what the Academy is no doubt hoping will be a rebound from last year\u2019s disastrous Oscars season, which was marred by the coronavirus pandemic and the worst TV ratings in Oscars history, with the live ceremony drawing a paltry 10 million viewers.<\/p>\n<p>This year\u2019s Oscars is set to take place March 27 at Dolby Theatre in Hollywood for what the Academy has suggested will be a return to the traditional ceremonies of the past. &nbsp;ABC also said there will be an Oscars host this year, but has so far not released any names.<\/p>\n<p><em><strong>Follow David Ng on Twitter&nbsp;<a class=\"x5l\" href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/HeyItsDavidNg\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener external\">@HeyItsDavidNg<\/a>.
