The time has finally arrived. After countless award shows like the Golden Globes, the BAFTAs, and the SAG Awards, the 2023 Oscars, also known as the 95th Academy Awards, are finally here. Blockbuster movies like Top Gun: Maverick with Tom Cruise and Avatar: The Way of Water will compete against indie movies like The Banshees of Inisherin starring Colin Farrell and Everything Everywhere All at Once with Michelle Yeoh.
Just like the Super Bowl, the Oscars are a global affair that covers not only the ceremony itself, but also the pre-show interviews and red-carpet fashion, which songs and performers will be at the show, and what hot new commercial for the next blockbuster film or TV show will debut in between the awards. There’s a lot going on, and it can be confusing when everything is on. What time is the Oscar ceremony? Is there an Oscars live stream you can watch? Below you’ll find information about the 2023 Oscars.

2023 Oscar nominations
Who will go home with the night’s top prize, Best Picture? With wins at the SAGs, Golden Globes, and Critics’ Choice, Everything Everywhere All at Once is the heavy favorite. EEAAO became the fifth film (first since 2012’s Argo) to sweep the four major guild awards (DGA, PGA, SAG, and WGA).
The three films in the best position to upset EEAAO are The Banshees of Inisherin, All Quiet on the Western Front, and Top Gun Maverick. Banshees and All Quiet are tied for second with nine nominations behind EEAAO‘s 11. All Quiet is one to pay close attention to, especially after its BAFA win for Best Film.
