Oscar organisers have planned to prevent demonstrators disrupting the 96th Academy Awards by bolstering up security.

“LAPD is bolstering security to prevent disruptions by demonstrators,” Goddard added.

“LAPD will ensure the safe arrival and entry of guests into the Oscars venue, alongside maintaining a secure environment for the event,” he added.
