Hollywood’s biggest stars have descended upon Los Angeles’ Dolby Theatre for the 95th Academy Awards, but there’s one question on everyone’s mind: Who will walk away with the film industry’s most acclaimed prize?
It’s the year of the comeback at the Oscars, as everyone seems to have their eyes on actors like Brendan Fraser (nominated for Best Actor for The Whale) and Ke Huy Quan (nominated for Best Supporting Actor for Everything Everywhere All at Once) — both of whom have been lionized for their returns to massive, mainstream moviemaking.
Though Everything Everywhere All at Once topped this year’s nominations with 11 honours, there’s tough competition for Best Picture, with the mind-bending drama taking on Steven Spielberg’s The Fabelmans and the Colin Farrell-led Irish tragicomedy The Banshees of Inisherin.
Two-time host Jimmy Kimmel will also be returning to lead the broadcast for a third time — and is bound to crack a few jokes about last year’s “slap heard around the world.”
During the 2022 Oscars ceremony, comedian Chris Rock was slapped by Will Smith after he made a G.I. Jane joke about Smith’s wife, Jada Pinkett Smith, who suffers from the skin condition alopecia. Smith shouted for Rock to “keep my wife’s name out of your f–-ing mouth!”
Smith will not be in attendance at this year’s Oscars, as he has been banned for 10 years.
Actors Florence Pugh, Andrew Garfield, Halle Bailey and Antonio Banderas are among the presenters slated to hand off the gilded statues to 2023’s Oscar recipients.
There are a handful of Canadians up for the prestigious award this year, including Sarah Polley, who is nominated for Best Screenplay for Women Talking and the animated movie Turning Red, which takes place in Toronto, Ont.
