Oscars 2023 – as it happened: Angela Bassett snubbed as Hugh Grant wins most awkward interview exchange

Last year’s Oscars were, it’s fair to say, slightly overshadowed by The Slap (a phrase that deserves its own trademark). But it followed a night of interesting winners, including Will Smith, that have been slightly forgotten.

Who won at last year’s Oscars? Remind yourself below.

Yep, we finally made it – it’s Oscars day!

To kick things off, Annabel Nugent has looked back at frontrunner Michelle Yeoh’s incredible career and reflected on why a Best Actress win would be so important for the actor.

The Oscars are kicking off this evening in Los Angeles, but those pesky timezones mean you’ll have to stay up late if you want to tune in live.

Fortunately, we’ve got all the details you need on when and where to watch the Academy Awards tonight at the link below.

Ahead of tonight’s hotly anticipated awards show, our writers have been making a case for the films they want to win Best Picture.

Firstly, we have Annabel Nugent on why frontrunner Everything Everywhere All At Once would be a worthy winner, actually.

Our very own Adam White has also been making the case for Top Gun: Maverick’s spot in the Best Picture category, arguing that Tom Cruise’s long-awaited sequel should take home the top prize on Sunday night.

What do you reckon?

Louis Chilton, meanwhile, has argued that we should all stop being such snobs and back Avatar: The Way of Water for the win.

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.

Here’s everything we know...

Wondering who’s going to win on the big night tonight? Adam White has broken it down for you, offering his theories on who should win, actually will win, and should have been nominated in the first place.

Will Smith may not be in attendance at this year’s Oscars, but the show seems unlikely to go ahead without at least a few mentions of The Slap.

Last week, Chris Rock finally opened up about the altercation in his new Netflix special, where he claimed that Smith’s wife Jada Pinkett Smith was the cause of rivalry between the pair.
