Everything you need to know about the 2023 Academy Awards
Hollywood is gearing up for the 95th Academy Awards, where “Everything Everywhere All at Once” comes in the lead nominee and the film industry will hope to move past “the slap” of last year’s ceremony. Here’s everything you need to know about the 2023 Oscars.
When are the Oscars?
The Oscars will be held Sunday, March 12, at the Dolby Theatre in Los Angeles. The ceremony is set to begin at 8 p.m. EST and be broadcast live on ABC.
Can you stream the Oscars?
The broadcast can be streamed with a subscription to Hulu Live TV, YouTubeTV, AT&T TV and Fubo TV. Some of these services offer brief free trials. You can stream the show on ABC.com and on the ABC app by authenticating your provider.
Who’s hosting?
Jimmy Kimmel will host for the third time and his first time since 2018. That was also the last Oscars to feature a solo host. In an ad for this year’s show styled after “Top Gun: Maverick,” Kimmel made his humble case for being the right person for the job while noting that he can’t get slapped because “I cry a lot.”
What’s nominated for Best Picture?
The 10 movies competing for best picture are: “All Quiet on the Western Front,” “Avatar: The Way of Water,” “The Banshees of Inisherin,” “Elvis,” “Everything Everywhere All at Once,” “The Fabelmans,” “Tár,” “Top Gun: Maverick,” “Triangle of Sadness,” “Women Talking.”
Who’s presenting?
The first announced round of presenters are: Riz Ahmed, Emily Blunt, Glenn Close, Jennifer Connelly, Ariana DeBose, Samuel L. Jackson, Dwayne Johnson, Michael B. Jordan, Troy Kotsur, Jonathan Majors, Melissa McCarthy, Janelle Monáe, Deepika Padukone, Questlove, Zoe Saldaña and Donnie Yen.
Who are the favorites?
“Everything Everywhere All at Once” leads with 11 nominations. Next is the Irish dark comedy “The Banshees of Inisherin,” with nine, a total matched by Netflix’s WWI film “All Quiet on the Western Front.” Michelle Yeoh (”Everything Everywhere All at Once”) may have a slight edge on Cate Blanchett (”Tár”) for best actress. Best actor is harder to call, with Brendan Fraser (”The Whale”) and Austin Butler (”Elvis”) in the mix.
