LOS ANGELES — The Latest on the 92nd Academy Awards, which are being bestowed Sunday at the Dolby Theatre :Woody, Buzz and Bo Peep have done it again -- “Toy Story 4” is the winner of the Academy Award for best animated feature film.

Just a few feet away, best actor nominees Joaquin Phoenix and Antonio Banderas gleefully greeted each other, hugging and touching each other’s faces, appearing to wish each other good luck.Geena Davis will be recognized during Sunday’s show with the Jean Hersholt Humanitarian Award for her work combating gender inequality. Fittingly, she kept up the fight even on the red carpet.
Later, “Little Women” star Saoirse Ronan spotted Gerwig across the red carpet and chased her down for a big hug. Ronan is nominated for best actress.Antonio Banderas is grateful that his first Oscar nomination came for a film in his native Spanish. “When I moved here and I started working in the film business here in America, myself, I never felt any sort of prejudice,” he said. “But I did eventually start noticing the crews did lack diversity. I do think there is change happening. It does have to be a conscious thing we all do because the pool of talent is not that diverse yet, but it’s definitely happening.

“Parasite” has a chance to be the first non-English film to win best picture — a credit to its poignant story about income inequality, a talented ensemble cast and an academy membership that has grown more international in recent years. Bong walked the red carpet with eight actors from the film, noting that actors and others from the American film industry were excited to meet them.
An award-winning composer along with husband Robert Lopez, Anderson-Lopez lifted her dress proudly to show off her comfortable kicks, shouting to the fan bleachers that it’s the “only way to do the Oscars.” “Joker” is the leading nominee heading into Sunday’s ceremony with 11 nods, including for best picture.
