An up-and-coming Connecticut comedic actress who has had a very impressive string of television and film will join "Saturday Night Live" star Bowen Yang to announce this year's Academy Award nominees this week.

Not yet thirty, and Rachel Sennott, actress and comedian, already has given powerful performances in a number of comedy/dramas. I recently watched Shiva Baby and I Used to Be Funny, both available for streaming on various sites.

Saturday Night recounts the true, although dramatized, story of the October 11, 1975 premiere of the now-renowned live comedy sketch show, Saturday Night Live, created by Lorne Michaels (who is played by Gabriel LaBelle in the movie).

Rachel Sennott and Bowen Yang will announce the nominations for the 97th Academy Awards. The two actors will come together on Thursday for a live presentation from the Academy's Samuel Goldwyn Theater to reveal the nominees in all 23 Academy Award categories.

It ain’t live, but Saturday Night (now streaming on Netflix, in addition to VOD services like Amazon Prime Video) is a live wire, a sort-of real-time tick-tock dramatization of the countdown to the first-ever episode of Saturday Night in 1975 (trivia: it wasn’t officially named Saturday Night Live until a year later).

“ Emilia Pérez ” leads the Oscar nods with 13 nominations, followed by “Wicked” and “The Brutalist” with 10 each. “Emilia Pérez” star Karla Sofía Gascón made history in the Best Actress category, becoming the first openly trans performer to earn a nomination.
