Stars: Ulrich Mühe, Susanne Lothar, Stefan Clapczynski, Arno Frisch, Frank Giering | Written and Directed by Michael Haneke
An innocuous sight opens this feature from writer/director Michael Haneke, as a car travels while containing the Schober family – made up of husband Georg (Ulrich Mühe), wife Anna (Susanne Lothar), young son Georgie (Stefan Clapczynski), and dog Rolfi.

In light of that decision, Ariana DeBose, who had been tapped as the host of the main telecast, is now only expected to perform the opening number, according to sources.
Presenters, who are typically Broadway actors and other celebrities, are expected to attend the telecast and give out the awards. However, the show will not be using a teleprompter to guide them or introduce the awards, sources say. Rather, presenters will only have cue cards with the list of nominees,...
