Reviewed the Wikipedia event infobox and complete Presenters and performers tables, plus the cited original event notice. All named hosts, preshow hosts, announcers, producers, director, presenters, performers and conductor in those selected sections are retained. Prerecorded or earlier technical-awards segments and character/voice credits are explicitly distinguished from human stage attendance. Full nominees/winners, every credited dancer/backing musician and off-camera production staff were not exhaustively reviewed; separate Governors Awards, nomination announcements and after-parties are not the main ceremony. For original multiprogramme notices, review scope is the main telecast/clock and named credit paragraphs, not every separately advertised programme or unrelated biographical credit. Earlier technical-awards segment locations retain their separate dates.
