The ceremony will be televised in the United States by ABC, produced by Michael De Luca and Jennifer Todd and directed by Glenn Weiss.

The nominations for the 90th Academy Awards represented many groundbreaking records and breakthrough firsts in the history of the Academy of Motion Picture Arts and Sciences (AMPAS). Among the records and firsts include:
- The 90th Academy Awards have broken a record for the number of married couples that share a nomination.
