Oscars: An ‘Oppenheimer’ event?

Top nominee might not dominate all categories Sunday.

LOS ANGELES — After a winter barrage of award shows — the Emmys, the Golden Globes, the Grammys — the granddaddy of them all, the Academy Awards, are around the corner.

The 96th Oscars may be a coronation for “Oppenheimer,” which comes in with a leading 13 nominations, though other films, including “Barbie,” “Killers of the Flower Moon” and “Poor Things” are in the mix.

Here’s everything you need to know about this year’s show:

When are the Oscars?

The Oscars will be held Sunday at the Dolby Theatre in Los Angeles.

The ceremony begins at 7 p.m. — one hour earlier than usual — and will broadcast live on ABC. A pre-show will begin at 6:30 p.m. This is your early reminder to set your clocks accordingly — it’s the first day of daylight saving time in the U.S.

Oscars streaming?

The show will be available to stream via ABC.com and the ABC app with a cable subscription.

You can also watch through services including Hulu Live TV, YouTubeTV, AT&T TV and FuboTV.

Who’s hosting?

Jimmy Kimmel, who hosted last year’s ceremony, will emcee for the fourth time. He says he won’t dwell on politics.

“It’s not really the focus of the Oscars,” said Kimmel. “It doesn’t mean I won’t have a joke or two about it. But it’s not really my goal to invoke the name of he-who-shallnot-be-named at the Oscars.”

Any performances?

Yes, all the original song nominees will be performed on the show. That means Ryan Gosling will serenade everyone with Mark Ronson and Andrew Wyatt’s “Barbie” power ballad “I’m Just Ken” and Billie Eilish will soulfully sing “What Was I Made For,” which she co-wrote with her brother, Finneas O’Connell.

The other nominated songs include Diane Warren’s “The Fire Inside,” from “Flamin’ Hot,” to be performed by Becky G, “Jon Batiste and Dan Wilson’s “It Never Went Away” from “American Symphony,” and Scott George’s “Wahzhazhe (A Song for My People)” from “Killers of the Flower Moon.”

For best picture?

The 10 nominees for best picture are: “American Fiction”; “Anatomy of a Fall”; “Barbie”; “The Holdovers”; “Killers of the Flower Moon”; “Maestro”; “Oppenheimer”; “Past Lives”; “Poor Things”; and “The Zone of Interest.”

Who’s favored?

Christopher Nolan’s “Oppenheimer” is the front-runner. Nolan, the best director favorite, is also poised to win his first Oscar.

The best actress category could be a nail-biter between Lily Gladstone (“Killers of the Flower Moon”) and Emma Stone (“Poor Things”).

Best actor, too, could be a close contest between Cillian Murphy (“Oppenheimer”) and Paul Giamatti (“The Holdovers”).

Giamatti’s co-star Da’Vine Joy Randolph is favored to win best supporting actress, while Robert Downey Jr. (“Oppenheimer”) is expected to win best supporting actor.

Downey’s closest competition is considered to be Ryan Gosling for “Barbie.”
