Talking Movies reports from Los Angeles with a preview of the Oscars ceremony. The team hears from top contenders including New Zealand film-maker Jane Campion, nominated for directing The Power of the Dog, and Sir Kenneth Branagh, whose film Belfast has seven nominations.

There is a special report on the ceremony itself and how, for the first time, three women – Wanda Sykes, Amy Schumer and Regina Hall – are hosting the event. In addition, deaf actors and stories figure prominently in this year's Academy Awards race and the Talking Movies team reports on how, as a result, Hollywood may more eagerly embrace portrayals of deaf people in the future.
