Producers of the 94th Oscars hope to reclaim the show’s dwindling audience this year with three female hosts and two awards chosen by the Twittering public.

After watching viewership plummet for three years without a host, the Oscars will bring them back during the live show that airs at 5 p.m. Pacific Standard Time March 27 on ABC at the Dolby Theater in Hollywood.
