Jessica Almenäs leads the Swedish Oscar broadcast

Conan O'Brien is hosting the Oscars ceremony on location in Los Angeles. Now it's clear that the Swedish broadcast will be led by another TV pro – Jessica Almenäs.

In the live broadcast on Disney+, the program host is accompanied by film expert Christina Birro and star stylist Sara Biderman. The Swedish reporting starts just before midnight, on the night of Monday, March 2. It will also be possible to stream the gala afterwards.

This year's gala has toned down the glamour somewhat due to the devastating fires in Los Angeles earlier this year. The Oscars gala will instead celebrate "the work that unites the global film community" and pay tribute to those who fought against the forest fires.

Among the films that are doing well ahead of the gala are "Anora", "The Conclave" and "The Brutalist", while an earlier favorite, "Emilia Pérez", has fallen in the pre-speculations. Swedish director Magnus von Horn's film "The Girl with the Needle" is competing for a prize in the category of best international film.
