The Motion Picture Academy reversed its previous decision to not air four categories during the 91st Academy Awards following a backlash from stars like George Clooney and Brad Pitt.
The Academy “has heard the feedback from its membership regarding the Oscar presentation of four awards — Cinematography, Film Editing, Live Action Short, and Makeup and Hairstyling,” a statement from the Academy read, according to the Hollywood Reporter Friday.

“All Academy Awards will be presented without edits, in our traditional format,” it added. “We look forward to Oscar Sunday, February 24.”
The president of the American Society of Cinematographers, Kees van Oostrum, thanked the Academy for the “brave” move.
