BBC World Service - The Arts Hour, Oscar Nominees

Nikki Bedi talks to performers and creatives in the run up to this year’s Academy Awards

It’s all Oscar nominees on this week’s Arts Hour as Nikki Bedi talks to Ariana DeBose, who is nominated for her role of Anita in Stephen Spielberg’s West Side Story. 

Aunjanue Ellis, shortlisted for playing the mother of Venus and Serena Williams in King Richard, tells us about her struggles before she hit the big time. 

The co-directors of Disney’s Encanto explain how they divide their roles and what they actually do (as well as the glamorous outfits they have planned for awards night).

And we hear from Danish director Jonas Poher Rasmussen, whose first film Flee has been nominated in 3 categories: Best Animated Feature, Best International Feature and Best Documentary.
