I know it won't happen, but I'd love for there to be a Carol Lawrence cameo in the film

Ariana DeBose will be one of the hosts of Oscars: Into the Spotlight, an Oscars pre-show on ABC. Either they're doing some sort of synergy between having both movie Anitas be involved with the Oscars, or they really might show a teaser for WSS.

Oscar season sounds like the perfect opportunity. I'm sure Steven is probably finished with the trailer right now

If not at the Oscars then definitely either on May or June, those are the perfect months to hype up a well known December release.

It’s airing during commercials. Not on the actual awards show. Geez.

Did you read the article?
"What’s more, presenters at the Oscars will introduce each of the spots as well as discuss their favorite movie going experience. “West Side Story” will be introduced by Ariana DeBose, who plays Anita in the new film. Miranda will introduce Warner Bros.’ “In the Heights.” And Questlove, who is also the music director for this year’s Oscars, will introduce his documentary “Summer of Soul.”

Ooops. I stand corrected. Let the vultures come at me. They will. I already know the usual suspects. Hahaha.

At least you admitted you were wrong this time, unlike the time you told everyone that Diana was still opening in May on Broadway a month ago, and never retracted that. Now that was hilarious.
Cannot WAIT for the trailer, thank you for the correct info Globe Fan!

Yup. Ariana is co-hosting OSCARS: Into the Spotlight pre-show which airs from 6:30pm ET to 8pm ET on ABC this coming Sunday April 25.

Unless something changed overnight, the trailer is premiering during the actual Oscars. Ariana will introduce it for about 15 seconds, and then the trailer will play, which then leads to the next commercial break. There's no way Walt Disney Studios will pay $2 million to ABC ad sales just to have the trailer play during a pre-show that not a lot of people will watch.

The self-proclaimed know-it-alls on this board need to stop and read THOROUGHLY before jumping on here to “correct” people. Seriously...

Hahaha. You’re not kidding. I’m stopping. I’ll just see it when I see it. It’ll be up on YouTube on Sunday after it airs anyway.
