Hollywood is gearing up for the Oscars with the 95th Academy Awards taking place tonight (12 March) at the Dolby Theatre in Los Angeles.
Everything Everywhere All at Once has the most nominations and is considered the frontrunner for best picture having won a string of top prizes at the guild awards that precede the Oscars.
Directors Daniel Kwan and Daniel Scheinert are tipped for best director, and former child star Ke Huy Quan is expected to pick up best supporting actor. First-time nominee Michelle Yeoh could also become the first Asian best actress winner.
In a field of ten best picture nominees, Netflix’s German anti-war film All Quiet on the Western Front could sneak an upset having picked up the best film trophy at the BAFTAs.
Host Jimmy Kimmel has said that he will address last year’s “The Slap” incident involving Will Smith and Chris Rock, noting it would be “ridiculous” not to. The academy will have its first-ever “crisis team” in place to react to any similar surprises.
The Independent will have all the latest from the [champagne-coloured] red carpet to the final award, including a performance from Rihanna, nominated for best original song for Black Panther: Wakanda Forever.

“The slap” may have been the most recent Oscars scandal – one that almost certainly will be joked about on Sunday night – but the Academy Awards have long been associated with scandal.

Who will present the Best Actress Oscar in place of Will Smith?
11:19 , Isobel Lewis
While last year’s Oscars was all about “the slap”, we’ll still be feeling the ramifications of the altercation at this year’s ceremony.
As Will Smith slapping Chris Rock resulted in the Men in Black star being banned from the Academy Awards, Smith will not be able to give out the Best Actress award on Sunday.
Usually, the reigning recipient of the Best Actor prize – which Smith holds for King Richard – presents the award for this year’s Best Actress, and vice versa.

17 films that should never have won Oscars
Saturday 11 March 2023 05:00 , Inga Parkel
Any belief that the Oscars award the right films, directors and performances has faded over the years.
While every ceremony has a smattering of correct decisions – trophies handed to the right people for the right films – more often than not, the pervading feeling is one of pessimism caused by a deluge of undeserving recipients.
The Oscars are a far cry from what they claim to be – a celebration of the previous year’s cinematic offerings. But this does not stop people from trawling the internet the following morning in the hope that maybe, just maybe, the winners list impresses rather than disappoints.
The Independent’s Jacob Stolworthy has highlighted 17 films that really should not have been awarded Oscars.

The guy never showed up, and my pants are three inches too big. So with one hand, I’m holding up my pants, and with the other, I’m holding up Linda’s dress. That was our entire fricking evening.”
