The Hispanic presence is provided by the Mexican director Guillermo del Toro, the Cuban-Spanish actress Ana de Armas, and the film 'Argentina, 1985'. There will be no slap in the face this year, at least not from Will Smith, who was banned by the Academy for 10 years.

In a recent Oscar announcement, Kimmel humbly said he's the right person for the job, asking not to be slapped because "I cry a lot," a joke referring to actor Will Smith's viral slap of comedian Chris Rock, which outshone last year's ceremony.

Who are the nominated Latinos?

Some Latinos compete in important categories tonight.

The Mexican director Guillermo del Toro and his film that reinterprets the children's story

Pinocchio

is the favorite to win the Best Animated Film award.

Del Toro won Best Director and Best Picture for

The Shape of Water in 2018.

He arrives as a favorite at this year's ceremony with a

stop motion

tape that the author considers one of his most personal works, which took more than 10 years.

"It is not a film for children, but it is a film that children can see," said the Mexican.

Argentina, 1985

competes in the Best International Film category

,

which has already won a Golden Globe and the Goya Award for best Ibero-American film.

The film, based on true events, recounts the historic Trial of the Military Junta with which Argentina made history by becoming the first country where a civilian government prosecuted the dictatorship that preceded it in court.

Ana de Armas

was nominated in the Best Actress category for her role in

Blonde,

in which she plays the mythical Marilyn Monroe.

Although her work has been celebrated, the film was panned by critics.

Other Latinos will participate in the ceremony as award presenters, among them the Chilean

Pedro Pascal

, who is a viral phenomenon for his role in the series

The Last of Us.

Zoe Saldaña, Antonio Banderas, Eva Longoria and Salma Hayek

Meanwhile, when two black best actress nominees—Danielle Deadwyler (

Till

) and Viola Davis (

Woman King

)—were passed over, some said it was a reflection of racial bias in the film industry.

What else to expect from the ceremony?

90-year-old American composer and musician John Williams (

The Fabelmans

), who is up for the award for Best Original Score, is the oldest nominee.

Following historic back-to-back wins for Chloé Zhao (

Don't expect to see actor Will Smith at the Oscars anytime soon, either.

After slapping comedian and actor Chris Rock at last year's ceremony, the Academy banned him from attending the awards for 10 years.

In a live Netflix special, Rock hit back at Smith on Saturday with a hard-hitting monologue about the controversial attack.
