Oscars 2023

Cate Blanchett is among nominees at the 95th Academy Awards, which will be hosted by Jimmy Kimmel.

She is attending the ceremony though, so fans hope she might yet spring a surprise performance. The network is also streaming the ceremony on its website and app. Unusually, that means British viewers can watch the Oscars on Freeview and Freesat. Interestingly, Halle Berry has also been invited to present. He most recently presided over the 2018 event. At the Oscars, the World War One epic is the bookies' second favourite to take the top prize, followed by The Banshees of Inisherin. The most likely winner in that category, however, is Naatu Naatu (from RRR) - which will be performed at the ceremony by Rahul Sipligunj and Kaala Bhairava. Who is presenting at the Oscars? "I certainly hope not. Winners have varied at the other major ceremonies, such as the SAG Awards, Baftas and Golden Globes, and there is a lack of consensus over who will triumph at the Oscars as a result. Oscars 2023: Who will win and how to watch the ceremony The eccentric multiverse adventure is the favourite to win best picture after success at a host of precursor events.

Consider this your cheat sheet for the 95th Academy Awards—from the date and the host to who will perform (Rihanna!).

Three other nominated songs will also be performed: “Applause” (from Tell It like a Woman), “Naatu Naatu” (RRR), and “This Is a Life” (Everything Everywhere All at Once). “Being invited to host the Oscars for a third time is either a great honor or a trap,” Kimmel joked, in a statement accompanying the announcement on November 7, 2022.

Jimmy Kimmell will host the show—last year, when Amy Schumer, Wanda Sykes and Regina Hall hosted, was the first time since 2018 the show had official hosts.

Typically, the previous years’ Best Actor winner presents the award (he won for King Richard). But this year, three are vying for the top prize: Top Gun: Maverick, Avatar: The Way Of Water and Elvis. Will Smith was banned from attending the ceremony for 10 years.

— Dan Ahwa, fashion and creative director. — Emma Gleason, writer and commercial editor. A very handsome, elegant look from Jenny Slate, who is nominated for Marcel the Shell with Shoes On, which she voiced, co-produced and co-wrote. The familiar silhouette is great for traipsing the carpet, with the actor giving this a modern finesse with low-maintenance hair and makeup and a layer of necklaces. We love a vintage look from the archives, and this one comes from Alexander McQueen’s The Girl Who Lived in The Tree collection from autumn/winter 2008. The key here is the lustre and texture of luxurious fabrics — the velvet shawl-collar jacket with a glimpse of what may be a scarf or trimming underneath, sheen of the trousers, and gleaming patent shoes — and the accessories, pivotally, a very excellent broach. We read it over the weekend, so it’s very nice to see her back in the public eye and looking so good in this striking scarlet dress by Lebanese fashion designer Elie Saab — and that operatic swathe of red calls to mind another of his famous red carpet looks, the 2002 gown Halle Berry wore to collect her historic Oscar win. Larry Flynt, and current president of the Academy of Motion Picture Arts and Sciences, this fantastically fluid silver gown is befitting such an esteemed title. That latter was the MO for the Oscars, with this theatrical suit (a tuxedo tail-cape hybrid) by Christian Siriano and a very elegant finger-waved hairstyle. He’s hand in hand with investor and writer Mala Gaonkar — the two worked together on the immersive production Theater of the Mind — wearing a beautifully draped sari in chartreuse with elegant pewter trim. There’s something Christmassy about this Gucci but we love the unapologetic showgirl aspect of this. As one of the few famous faces who can deliver a strong make-up look, long-time makeup artist Sarah Tanno offers up a convincing case for Bladerunner 80s eyes and a defined Robert Palmer femme fatale lip.

Michael B Jordan and Jonathan Majors are among the Oscars presenters who took the stage at the Academy Award rehearsals on March 11 at the Dolby Theater.

The time it would take to get to the stage where they are seated is also accounted for in order to make sure the show flows with ease. There will be surprises on Sunday that fans can look forward to that even the select journalists at the rehearsals weren’t made privy to. For any movie lover, being inside that theatre would be a memorable experience. Most, if not all, the actresses Complex got to see wore high heels along with a casual outfit in what seemed like an attempt to ensure the shoes they are wearing on Sunday are a solid choice.

But it’s up against Germany’s “All Quiet on the Western Front,” which was also nominated for best picture. It’s likely a two-man battle between Brendan Fraser (“The Whale”) and Austin Butler (“Elvis”) for the award. “We’re having a good time but we’re not losing sight of the fact that we made a film about the world’s foremost political prisoner and we have a very strong message to say.

Fraser won Best Actor for “The Whale” on Sunday at the Oscars, the crowd at the Dolby Theater erupting in what seemed like one of the loudest ovations of the night when he was announced. “For all the little boys and girls who look like me, watching tonight, this is a beacon of hope and possibilities,” Yeoh said, as she hoisted the statuette.

A year after Will Smith strode on stage at the Dolby Theatre and slapped Chris Rock in the face, the Oscars are reconvening today for a ceremony that will ...

Producers are giving some aspects of the Oscars a makeover. Kimmel will preside over a ceremony that could see big wins for the best-picture favourites, Everything Everywhere All at Once. After several days of rain in and around Los Angeles, the sun is out again for a ceremony the Academy Awards are hoping is less stormy than last year.

From classic old Hollywood glamour to that swan dress, the Academy Awards red carpet has produced plenty of memorable fashion moments.

This was the same year that #AskHerMore became a thing, with some stars saying they wouldn't talk about who they were wearing (I disagree with the concept: most stars use the red carpet to make money and build their brands, and a lot of craft and creativity goes into these looks). That’s not my favourite Sharon Stone Gap Oscars collab, but it set the scene for the brilliance that was to come two years later in an outfit that was actually planned. As much as I am loath to draw attention to anything related to John Galliano, we can not talk about Oscars outfits that were derided at the time and now fawned over without mentioning Celine Dion wearing a Dior tuxedo backwards to the 1999 awards show.The look was widely mocked, and those that did defend her at the time praised her bravery rather than the actual look. She called in the costume designer from the film who saved the day by helping her pair a black Gap turtleneck with an Armani tuxedo jacket and black Valentino skirt. But that, along with the response to Rancic's comments, really did change the approach to red carpet fashion as being about more than the dress – it's the person, and the story behind it. This look (and the role she wore it in honour of, of course) took the Dawson’s Creek alumni out of the teen TV genre and escalated her as both a movie star and fashion icon. But this look is iconic in how it helped shift conversations about how we talk about celebrities and red carpet fashion. Halle Berry made history as the first Black winner of the best actress category in 2002, in an epic gown that is another that instantly comes to mind when I think ‘Oscars’. Kelly had worn this exact dress, made by legendary costume designer Edith Heap to the film's premiere the year before and would wear it again later in Life Magazine. Bjork is a true artist, so I don’t believe this was her intention (it was way deeper than that; she’s talked about how it was meant to be a message about fertility) – but this dress was so ahead of its time in terms of stunt dressing. Vera Wang has never been one of my favourite designers and to this day when I remember she was responsible for my favourite red carpet look, I am surprised. To me, that says a lot about how far fashion and pop culture has come since the hideous early noughties (I hope!) in the sense of allowing people to express themselves as they really are through fashion, even on the most traditional of red carpets.

It's Hollywood's biggest awards ceremony, and who will take home the big prizes? RNZ is here to follow along live.

With Weta having three of the five nominations in that category, a win for them is pretty likely. [biggest nominees](https://www.rnz.co.nz/news/world/483053/box-office-hits-everything-everywhere-elvis-and-avatar-land-oscar-nominations) are the twisty multiverse epic Everything Everywhere All At Once, nominated for 11 Oscars, followed by The Banshees of Inisherin and All Quiet On The Western Front with nine each. Jamie Lee Curtis and Ke Huy Quan have taken the Best Supporting Actress and Actor awards for Everything Everywhere All At Once.

The 2023 Oscars brought in some of the year's best beauty looks so far. See the best hair, makeup, and nail looks from the 2023 Academy Awards including ...

The event, hosted by Jimmy Kimmel, promises a star-studded red (well, champage-colored) carpet, with expected appearances by Florence Pugh, Janelle Monáe, and yes, Rihanna (yeah, we're freaking out too). So, consider this your headquarters for all things Oscars 2023 beauty looks, where we're rounding up the best hair, makeup, and nail moments of the night. Film's biggest night is finally upon us, and while some folks are tracking who won what and who wore what, we're more invested in the best Oscars 2023 beauty looks.

Brendan Fraser is among nominees at the 95th Academy Awards, which are being hosted by Jimmy Kimmel.

The network is also streaming the ceremony on its website and app. Unusually, that means British viewers can watch the Oscars on Freeview and Freesat. He also paid tribute to composer John Williams, the oldest nominee in Oscars history. The Banshees of Inisherin has four acting nominations, including Colin Farrell and Kerry Condon. He most recently presided over the 2018 event. This is the American dream. Interestingly, Halle Berry has also been invited to present. "They say Hollywood is running out of ideas. At the Oscars, the World War One epic is the bookies' second favourite to take the top prize, followed by The Banshees of Inisherin. At this point, Everything Everywhere All at Once is the clear frontrunner, having won nearly every major precursor it needed to - with the notable exception of Bafta. Thank you so much for welcoming me back." Later in the ceremony, Everywhere All at Once is the favourite to win best picture after success on this year's awards' circuit.

The 95th Academy Awards air Sunday night on ABC. Below is the full list of 2023 Academy Award nominees, with winners marked in bold. This list will be ...
