Jonathan Ross is gearing up to host ITV's coverage of the Oscars for the second year in a row and has shared his predictions for the winners of the prestigious awards

Jonathan Ross is delighted to see Wallace & Gromit in the run-in for an award at the Oscars - but he's acutely aware of its competition for the Best Animated Feature gong (Image: BBC/Aardman Animations/Richard Davies/Stuart Collis)The Aardman animation, the sixth instalment in the Wallace and Gromit saga, isn't the UK's sole contender for Oscar glory: Cynthia Erivo has clinched a Best Actress nod for her performance in Wicked; Ralph Fiennes is vying for Best Actor with Conclave; Felicity Jones is in the running for Best Supporting Actress thanks to The Brutalist; Sir Elton John's tune Never Too Late is gunning for Best Original Song; and British-Indian director Sandhya Suri's Santosh is battling it out for International Feature Film. While his hosting duties kick off at 10.30pm, the true glitz begins at midnight when Ross King reports live from the red carpet, a segment Jonathan can't wait to see.
