This will be Nakajima’s fifth appearance on the network’s live broadcast of the Academy Awards. Her first appearance was in 2020 at the 92nd Academy Awards Ceremony, where she appeared live from the local red carpet. She then performed at the 93rd and 94th awards ceremonies from a Japanese studio.

Last year, he appeared locally for the first time in three years, reporting from the “champagne carpet” and interviewing two of India’s biggest stars, N.T. Rama Rao Jr. and Ram Charan from “RRR”, as well as supporting roles. He successfully interviewed actors such as Jamie Lee Curtis, who won the Best Actress award for “Everything Everywhere All at Once,” and Austin Butler, who starred in “Elvis.” Continuing from the 92nd edition, his passionate local reports filled with fluent English and a love of movies became a hot topic in Japan as well.
Nakajima, who has experienced local broadcasting twice in the past, will appear from a Japanese studio this year. Attention is drawn to Nakajima’s words spoken from her unique perspective as someone who has experienced the area, and her interactions with guides John Kabila and Misato Ugaki.
As for Japanese works, “Godzilla-1.0” was selected for the “Short List” of 10 nominees for the “Visual Effects Award” announced in December last year, and Godzilla-1.0, who starred in “PERFECT DAYS,” Koji Yakusho, who played the role, won the Best Actor Award at the 76th Cannes Film Festival, and Hayao Miyazaki’s (Tatsusaki Saki)’s “How Do You Live?” won the Best Animated Film Award at the 81st Golden Globe Awards. etc., are attracting attention. Expectations are high for Japanese films to be nominated for this year’s Academy Awards and for them to win prestigious awards.
The movie information program “Kento Nakajima’s Things I Want to Know About Movies Now” is currently being broadcast and distributed by the same station. Nakajima also serves as MC. Season 3 of the program, which celebrated its third year last year, featured an interview with Brendan Fraser, who won the Best Actor Award at the 95th Academy Awards, as well as an interview with Brendan Fraser, who won the Best Actor Award at the 95th Academy Awards, as well as interviews with the popular studio that supports the Hollywood film industry, filming on location in LA. His love and knowledge of movies has deepened year by year, such as by sneaking into “The Third Floor.”
The 96th Academy Awards Ceremony, which Nakajima said was “the stage that made me fall in love with movies even more, and the moment that really set my heart on fire,” will be broadcast live on the same station on March 11th. Nominations are scheduled to be announced on the 23rd of this month.
In the advance program “96th Academy Awards Last Minute Predictions” that will be broadcast and distributed live on February 24th, Nakajima, who will be the MC for the third time, will introduce the nominated works and give the latest information from the United States that can only be broadcast live, while also speaking to guests. We will predict the awards together with the team.
▼Kento Nakajima comment
I’m very happy to be able to enjoy the Academy Awards ceremony live with you again this year. For me, it was the stage that made me fall in love with movies even more, and it was a great moment that set my heart on fire. This year, the contest will be from Japan, but regardless of the location, I will do my best to create wonderful works, enjoy the spectacular award winners live, and imprint that image with the feeling of making it my own. Even if you are in Japan, it feels like a red carpet!
Last year’s Best Picture winner was EbuEbu, so I’m really looking forward to seeing what kind of work will win this year!
