According to Entertainment Weekly, uniformed officers, surveillance cameras, and drones will be deployed, along with the activation of special units, such as bomb-sniffing dogs and the Special Weapons and Tactics (SWAT) team.

Oscars producers Katy Mullan and Raj Kapoor announced the increase in protections on Wednesday.

'Every year we monitor what's going on in the world,' Kapoor said at a press conference, according to People.

'We have the support of the and the LAPD, and it's a close collaboration. This show has to run like clockwork.

'But we want everybody that is coming to this show, that is witnessing the show, that is even a fan of the show when they're standing outside the barricades, we want everybody to feel safe and protected and welcome, so it's our job as a producing team to make sure that that translates.'

On Wednesday, it was reported that the FBI had alerted California law enforcement to potential Iranian drone strikes on the West Coast in retaliation for the US war against the Islamic Republic.

'Iran allegedly aspired to conduct a surprise attack using unmanned aerial vehicles from an unidentified vessel off the coast of the United States Homeland, specifically against unspecified targets in California, in the event that the US conducted strikes against Iran,' the alert obtained by ABC News said.

'We have no additional information on the timing, method, target, or perpetrators of this alleged attack,' the FBI update continued.

The alert surfaced as the Trump administration continued its sustained offensive against Iran.

This move follows a pattern of escalation in the Middle East, where the regime in Tehran has used drone warfare as a primary tool for retaliation.

Jessie Buckley is tipped to win an Oscar for Best Actress for her role in Hamnet.

The actress, 36, has so far picked up all the awards she was nominated for this season, including a BAFTA, Golden Globe and Critics' Choice Award.

Jessie is up against Rose Byrne (If I Had Legs I'd Kick You), Kate Hudson (Song Sung Blue), Renate Reinsve (Sentimental Value) and Emma Stone (Bugonia).

Hamnet is nominated for a total of eight awards, including the coveted Best Picture accolade and Best Director for Chloe Zhao.

Conan, 62, will likely oversee the in-memoriam tribute to his late friend Rob Reiner, which is rumored to feature his When Harry Met Sally actors Meg Ryan and Billy Crystal.

The beloved filmmaker and wife Michele Reiner were stabbed to death, at age 78 and 70, in the bedroom of their $13.5 million Brentwood mansion on December 14 - hours after attending a party at the Oscars host's home.

On Tuesday, the Academy of Motion Picture Arts and Sciences announced the performers for the musical portion of the ceremony, including Josh Groban, the Los Angeles Master Chorale, and KPop Demon Hunters singers Ejae, Audrey Nuna and Rei Ami.
