Everything you need to know about visiting the Academy Museum of Motion Pictures

Brush up on ticketing and exhibition info for L.A.’s movie museum.

The history of moviemaking finally found a permanent home in Los Angeles with the 2021 arrival of the Academy Museum of Motion Pictures. Located next to LACMA in the Wilshire May Company buildling and in a soap bubble-like space designed by Pritzker Prize-winning architect Renzo Piano, the museum features four full floors of gallery space, two theaters (including a 1,000-seat space in that giant glassy sphere) a restaurant and a gift shop.

The collection features the sorts of cinematic treasures you’d expect from the people who put on the Oscars, with a rotation of items that’s included the Rosebud sled from  Citizen Kane , R2-D2 and C-3PO, the sole surviving shark from  Jaws and a selection of costumes from some of our favorite L.A. films , among many others. You’ll also find a revolving set of galleries dedicated to specific creators and industry crafts.

Where is the Academy Museum of Motion Pictures?

You’ll find the museum at 6067 Wilshire Boulevard in L.A.’s Miracle Mile neighborhood.

The closest parking garage is LACMA’s Pritzker parking garage (entrance on 6th Street), as well as at the Petersen Automotive Museum  on the other side of Wilshire.

When can I visit the Academy Museum of Motion Pictures?

The museum is open six days a week, on Monday and Wednesday through Sunday from 10am to 6pm. It’s closed on Tuesdays.

How do I get tickets to the Academy Museum of Motion Pictures?

Timed tickets are required and include admission to all exhibitions. They cost $25 for adults, $19 for seniors (62 and up), $15 for students, and are free for visitors 17 and younger and California residents with an EBT card.

An immersive installation dubbed the Oscars Experience costs an additional $15. Outdoor public areas and the lobby (which includes the small Spielberg Family Gallery and the gift shop) are free to access.

What’s the Oscars Experience? And is it worth it?

Consider this the made-for-Instagram experience at the museum. The Oscars Experience lets you step up to a podium with bright lights and a virtual crowd in your face as your accept your award: an undedicated Oscar, identical to the ones given out during the Academy Awards, that you can pick up (but not keep). You’re only inside for a few seconds, and you’ll be emailed a personalized, polished video of your award acceptance. It’s well put together, but remarkably expensive for just how brief it is; only plunk down the $10 if being able to say “I held an Oscar” is a must.

What can I see right now at the museum?

After the museum’s debut special exhibition, a Hayao Miyazaki retrospective , as well as its follow-up, the excellent “ Regeneration: Black Cinema 1898–1971 ,” the Academy Museum is now hosting “ John Waters: Pope of Trash .” The career-spanning exhibition, which runs into the summer of 2024, follows the evolution of the  Hairspray and Pink Flamingos writer and director’s delightfully filthy style and includes costumes, clips and props from each of his films.

On the horizon , the museum will mount “Cyberpunk: Envisioning Possible Futures” in the fall of 2024, with costumes, props and concept art from foundational cyberpunk films like Blade Runner , Tron , Akira and The Matrix .

The museum has also undergone a number of rotations within its permanent collection since first opening. Its debut deep dives on Spike Lee and  The Wizard of Oz  have given way to Agnès Varda and  The Godfather . In the Varda gallery, the museum has collected beautiful photographs, film clips and artwork (including a sculpture of her cat, Nini) from the French New Wave pioneer.

As for  The Godfather , expect to hear the familiar Nino Rota score as you inspect all sorts of familiar props and costumes from the Francis Ford Coppola film (including Vito Corleone’s desk and, yes, a horse head), as well as behind-the-scenes bits like the director’s heavily annotated copy of the original book and Marlon Brando’s jaw prosthetic.

Just past those two galleries, the display of costumes seems to be the most frequently updated space in the museum. (On our last visit, we spotted Laura Dern’s  Jurassic Park outfit and Michael Keaton’s  Beetlejuice wig.)

On the second floor, the galleries now focus on Casablanca , with original production objects and the stories of European émigrés who worked on the film; Boyz n the Hood , specifically its depiction of Black life in South L.A. and its impact on pop culture; collaborations between production designer Sarah Greenwood and set decorator Katie Spencer, who’ve specialized in period pieces like Anna Karenina and Darkest Hour ; and documentarian Lourdes Portillo’s projects on identity and social justice in Latin America and the U.S. In addition, the permanent “Hollywoodland” will debut this spring with an examination of the history of filmmaking in L.A., starting in the early 20th century.

The third floor’s “Inventing Worlds and Characters” gallery feature what just might be its most familiar objects. The dimly-lit space includes costumes and prosthetics from some of cinema’s most iconic sci-fi and fantasy films. The pieces here rotate occasionally (so you won’t find E.T. there at the moment) but have regularly included C-3PO from  Star Wars ,  Okoye from  Black Panther and the Amphibian Man from  The Shape of Water , with more recent additions like Frank from  Donnie Darko and Edward Scissorhands.

Can you still see Dorothy’s ruby slippers?

Unfortunately, these are now off display as of November 2022. The shoes are in pristine condition, and the museum tells us that periodically taking them off display is one of the surest methods of keeping it that way. But don’t worry: They’ll likely return at a to-be-determined date in the future.

Academy Museum will roll out a digital red carpet before the Oscars

• Copy Link URL Copied!

The Academy Museum of Motion Pictures won’t open until Sept. 30, but you can “visit” as soon as April. The museum held an online media preview Wednesday, during which it announced that virtual programming will start on its website April 22.

The museum is the public face of the Academy of Motion Picture Arts and Sciences. The 93rd Oscars ceremony will spotlight the film industry on April 25, and the museum is rolling out the virtual red carpet a few days before with screenings, panel discussions, educational workshops and other online events.

“The Academy Museum of Motion Pictures has long been a dream of the academy, the city of Los Angeles and the film industry,” Director Bill Kramer said in his welcome address Wednesday. Drawing on the academy’s film archive and its Margaret Herrick Library of works on paper as well as participation from academy members across its branches, the museum will be “unparalleled in what it will offer,” Kramer said.

After several false starts — the museum originally planned to open Dec. 14, 2020, and the pandemic pushed the opening to April 30, 2021, then Sept. 30 — Kramer said museum officials were confident it will open in September.

“We are prepared to open and fully ready to open,” Kramer said. “We will continue to monitor the health and safety components of opening in September,” he added, “but we’re feeling very good about it.”

The first virtual event in April will be a conversation with groundbreaking women in the industry, hosted by museum trustee Diane von Furstenberg and moderated by the museum’s chief artistic and programming officer, Jacqueline Stewart . “Breaking the Oscars Ceiling” will feature Whoopi Goldberg, Marlee Matlin, singer-songwriter Buffy Sainte-Marie as well as Sophia Loren, who will receive the museum’s inaugural annual Visionary Award at its first fundraising gala Sept. 25.

The website also will showcase an interactive timeline of Oscars history, previewing a similar timeline in the museum when it opens.

In the days leading up to the Oscars, the museum will screen online writer-director Dee Rees’ 2011 “Pariah,” with a cast and crew discussion afterward, as well as writer-director Alfonso Cuaron’s 2001 “Y Tu Mamá También.” Cuaron will discuss the film in Spanish, with English subtitles, with cinematographer Emmanuel “Chivo” Lubezki afterward.

Kramer said that the museum chose those films because they’re represented in the core exhibition “Stories of Cinema.”

“We wanted components of our core exhibition and to bring them to life through these virtual programs,” he said.

Pre-opening educational programs include a conversation with six Black visual effects artists and a day of art-making workshops, live performances and other events related to the work of Hayao Miyazaki. The retrospective “Hayao Miyazaki” is the museum’s inaugural special exhibition and is being touted as the first major U.S. exhibition of the Japanese filmmaker’s work.

Stewart called the slate of pre-opening and in-person planned programming “dynamic, diverse and deeply grounded in the history and artistry of filmmaking.”

A pre-opening, virtual “In Conversation” film series, Stewart said, “will address intersections between filmmaking and social change, directors’ inspiration, creative collaborations and so much more.”

Wednesday’s event included a virtual tour of the museum’s galleries, seen in renderings and led by museum trustee Laura Dern . Prerecorded comments were from academy members including Guillermo del Toro , Spike Lee and Rita Moreno — all of whom are highlighted in the museum’s exhibitions — as well as museum board vice chair Miky Lee . Pritzker Prize-winning architect Renzo Piano , who designed the 300,000-square-foot, $482-million museum, participated in the preview as did Kulapat Yantrasast , whose Culver City-based wHY Architecture designed the gallery interiors.

When it opens, “Stories of Cinema” will address the evolution of filmmaking across three floors of the museum, with deep dives into different facets, including directing, screenwriting, cinematography, sound design, costume design, hair and makeup, and visual and special effects. Conceptual exhibits will focus on topics such as sci-fi/fantasy characters and worlds. The museum will refresh gallery content every eight to 12 months, Kramer said, and it will rotate in guest curators from the industry. The first three will be filmmakers Lee and Pedro Almodóvar and Icelandic composer Hildur Guðnadóttir .

The museum’s fourth floor will be devoted to special exhibitions. After “Hayao Miyazaki,” the museum will present “Regeneration: Black Cinema 1898-1971” in 2022.

All of Hollywood’s narratives, including the industry’s problematic history regarding racism, diversity and lack of inclusion, will be addressed throughout the museum, Kramer said. A gallery about the history of the Oscars will address, among other things, the 1940 treatment of Hattie McDaniel. The “Gone With the Wind” actress was the first African American to win an Oscar but was made to sit in the back of the room at the ceremony. An Impact/Reflection gallery will address how movies mirror and impact our world, touching on the Black Lives Matter and #MeToo movements as well as the topics of labor relations and climate change. An animation exhibit will address racism and sexism in the field; an exhibit on makeup will address the history of blackface and yellowface.

“We’re a museum about cinema, the art of films, our history, our future,” Kramer said in a question-and-answer session after the presentation. “And given that mandate — the mission that we have to celebrate and create moments of discovery around moviemaking — we can’t erase our past.”

It’s a particularly relevant time to address such topics, Stewart said in the Q&A. “This is a moment when so many institutions are thinking through these questions.”

“It’s incredibly important too,” she added, “that we’re working with people who have contributed to filmmaking in so many different areas, all areas of the craft.”

The museum will lean heavily on its two state-of-the-art movie theaters to host in-person events. Screenings and discussions with movie industry figures will be held in the 1,000-seat David Geffen Theater and 288-seat Ted Mann Theater.

Is the museum concerned that visitors might be wary of sitting in a theater?

“I think we have to keep an eye on what’s possible when we open, given the pandemic,” Kramer said in an interview. “But we have both in-person and virtual options in front of us.

“Our hope is that people will be very eager to return to theaters. We do have the ability to do timed ticketing and staggered seating, so if we need to employ those visitor services options, we will to make the spaces safe.”

Construction of the museum — a restored 1939 May Co. building and Piano’s new globe-shaped theater, both next to the Los Angeles County Museum of Art on Wilshire Boulevard — is complete. The ground-level restaurant, cafe and retail store are nearly complete. Installation of the exhibitions is nearly finished but for objects that will be placed in vitrines and cases closer to the opening.

“Our exhibition spaces are built out,” Kramer said, “and look absolutely beautiful.”

Here’s Why ‘Taylor Swift: The Eras Tour’ Likely Won’t Be Eligible for the Best Documentary Oscar

According to its guidelines, the Academy will potentially consider the feature to be “essentially unfiltered records of performances”

With presales passing $35 million in the first 24 hours of availability, the theatrical release of “Taylor Swift: The Eras Tour” is all but certain to be one of the biggest movies in what remains of 2023. However, even the power of Taylor Swift won’t be enough to put the film in contention as this year’s Best Documentary at the Academy Awards.

Even if it earns rave reviews, and most music critics will argue that the live show itself is pretty spectacular, Academy regulations will likely render it ineligible. Simply put, Section II, B states that “Works that are essentially promotional or instructional are not eligible, nor are works that are essentially unfiltered records of performances.” So if the film is simply a 165-minute filmed approximation of seeing the singer live on stage, well, it’ll have to settle for everything except Academy consideration in the Best Documentary Feature category.

Swift announced the film’s theatrical release, backed by AMC Theatres, Thursday with a teaser clip of scenes filmed from the first few nights of her Los Angeles stop of the Eras Tour. Presales for the film climbed to the highest advance sales revenue — $26 million — in AMC’s 103-year history, topping the $16.9 million snagged by “Spider-Man: No Way Home” presales in 2021. Hours after the announcement of the concert doc, Universal and Blumhouse’s “The Exorcist: Believer” moved its release date ahead one week to Oct. 6 so as not to compete with “The Eras Tour” movie.

Swift, who has directed 10 of her 60-plus music videos, fell short of a 2022 Oscar nomination for her live-action short film “All Too Well: The Short Film” starring Sadie Sink, Dylan O’Brien and Swift, herself. The short film, set to the extended version of Swift’s most popular ballad, “All Too Well (10 Minute Version) (Taylor’s Version) (From the Vault),” met qualifications for a shortlist nomination, but it did not make the cut of 15 films narrowed down from 81.

Swift screened the short film at the Toronto Film Festival in 2022, and she won the Moon Person for Best Direction and for Video of the Year at the 2022 MTV VMAs. During her acceptance for the Video of the Year award, Swift dropped the news that she would release her tenth studio album, “Midnights” October 21, 2022.

After the release of “Midnights,” Swift announced the Eras tour, which encompasses her entire musical catalogue (except for her self-titled debut album) in a three-plus hour show that features songs from each of her albums, which have expanded into eras of her career. Swift began the international leg of the Eras tour in Mexico City Aug. 24, just two weeks after she wrapped the first part of the U.S. leg in Los Angeles where she announced the upcoming release of her “1989 (Taylor’s Version)” rerecord.

Ticket prices for “Taylor Swift: The Eras Tour” nod to her fifth studio album, which officially becomes hers on Oct. 27, at $19.89 for adults. Her favorite, lucky and birthday No. 13 factors into the children and seniors ticket prices: $13.13.

This marks Swift’s second film project that has generated Oscars buzz. The musician has penned a feature film-length script that will eventually be produced by Searchlight Pictures. Sure to feature a bejewled cast, only time will tell when the film enters production and Swift embarks on her third attempt to get an Oscar.

Live updates: The 95th Academy Awards

LOS ANGELES (AP) — Follow along for real-time updates on the 2023 Oscars from The Associated Press — on the  decidedly not red carpet , inside the Dolby Theatre and behind the scenes. Live updates are brought to you by AP journalists in Los Angeles and around the country.

What to know:

• “Everything Everywhere All at Once” had a big night
• Lady Gaga and Rihanna took the stage as performers, but lost to “Naatu Naatu” from “RRR”
• Speeches have been highly emotional, from the likes of best supporting actor Ke Huy Quan, best supporting actress Jamie Lee Curtis, costume design winner Ruth E. Carter and Yulia Navalnaya — accepting for the “Navalny” documentary

‘Everything Everywhere All at Once’ is the night’s big winner

With seven awards, the awards season Cinderella was the Oscars’ big winner. Capping a huge haul at Hollywood’s biggest night, the movie won best picture to close the night.

Going into the night with 11 nods, the film helmed by the duo known as the Daniels also picked up awards for best actress (Michelle Yeoh), best supporting actor (Ke Huy Quan), best supporting actress (Jamie Lee Curtis), best director, best original screenplay and best film editing.

Harrison Ford presents best picture Oscar — again

Harrison Ford presented the Oscar for best picture solo tonight, after Glenn Close had to drop out because of a COVID-19 diagnosis. Ford previously presented the top award in 1999 to “Shakespeare in Love.”

A historic win for Yeoh

For Michelle Yeoh, it was an Oscar.

For Asian women, it was history.

Like many winners, she let the emotions out when she got on stage. Clutching at her chest, she laughed nervously, took a deep breath and said “thank you” twice.

“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. “And ladies,” the 60-year-old Malaysian-born actor added, “don’t let anybody tell you are ever past your prime.”

Brendan Fraser wins for ‘The Whale’

Brendan Fraser was “The Whale.”

He’s now the winner.

Fraser’s journey is complete. He’s an Oscar winner, after the performance of his lifetime. 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.

“I started in this business 30 years ago. Things didn’t come easily to me but there was a facility that I didn’t appreciate at the time until it stopped,” an emotional Fraser said. “I just wanted to say thank you for this acknowledgment.”

The Daniels bring ‘Everything Everywhere All at Once’ to 5 Oscars

With the win for best director, Daniel Kwan and Daniel Scheinert brings the awards season Cinderella to five Oscars — and best actress and best picture still lie ahead.

The Daniels also picked up a best original screenplay Oscar. The movie has also picked up wins in editing, supporting actor and supporting actress.

In accepting the directing award, Kwan subverted the Asian dad trope by telling his son that winning an Oscar is not normal — and he won’t have to live up to this.

Scheinert used his speech to underscore that drag should not be under attack, as it has been from conservative activists.

“We want to dedicate this to the mommies, all the mommies of the world, to our moms, specifically to my mom and dad, Ken and Becky, thank you for not squashing my creativity when I was making really disturbing horror films or really perverted comedy films or dressing in drag as a kid — which is a threat to nobody,” Scheinert said.

Kimmel with a Jan. 6 zing

Jimmy Kimmel couldn’t resist a chance to make a Jan. 6 reference after the Oscar for editing was handed out.

“Editors do amazing things,” Kimmel said. “Editors can turn 44,000 hours of violent insurrection footage into a respectful sightseeing tour of The Capitol. Their work is underappreciated.”

It was an obvious reference to how Fox News’ Tucker Carlson was given footage so he could launch a new effort to explain away the deadly Capitol attack, linking the Republican Party ever more closely to pro-Trump conspiracy theories about the 2021 riot.

In memoriam

John Travolta choked up while introducing the In Memoriam segment, which was soundtracked by Lenny Kravitz’s live performance.

Without saying any specific names, he spoke of those “who we will always remain hopelessly devoted to,” Travolta said in a clear reference to his “Grease” co-star  Olivia Newton-John . She died last August and was the first name shown.

With perennial complaints about the segment excluding some figures, a website was flashed at the end, encouraging people to check out legends lost. Among the many who were remembered during the telecast: Irene Cara, Ray Liotta, Nichelle Nichols, Angela Lansbury, Louise Fletcher, Burt Bacharach, Mary Alice, Gina Lollobrigida, James Caan and Raquel Welch. Among those who were not: the recently deceased actors  Tom Sizemore  and  Robert Blake .

Best original song goes to ‘Naatu Naatu’

After five performances, the Oscar for original song is finally announced: “Naatu Naatu” from “RRR.”

The song from the Telugu-language film was performed by playback singers Kaala Bhairava and Rahul Sipligunj and a phalanx of dancers earlier in the night.

“RRR has to win, pride of every Indian … and has put me at the top of the world,” M.M. Keeravani sang to the tune of The Carpenters’ “Top of the World” while accepting the award alongside Chandrabose.

Screenplay award winners give memorable reactions

Daniel Scheinert thanked a long list of his former teachers. Daniel Kwan revealed that he still deals to confidence issues.

They’re Oscar winners now, after taking home the original screenplay award for “Everything Everywhere All at Once.”

“I never thought I was good enough. I have self-esteem problems,” Kwan said.

The adapted screenplay award went to Sarah Polley for “Women Talking.” And she, like Scheinert and Kwan, was memorable in her speech.

“First of all, I just want to thank the academy for not being mortally offended by the words ‘Women’ and ‘Talking’ put so close together like that,” Polley said. “Cheers.”

A toast to Rihanna

At the end of Rihanna’s performance of “Lift Me Up,” from “Black Panther: Wakanda Forever,” A$AP Rocky could be seen with a champagne toast. The couple has one son and another child on the way — iconically revealed in the wake of Rihanna’s Super Bowl halftime show last month.

Malala is not worrying, darling

Jimmy Kimmel asked Nobel laureate and “Stranger at the Gate” producer Malala Yousafzai to weigh in on whether Harry Styles really did spit on Chris Pine during the Venice Film Festival screening of their film, “Don’t Worry Darling.”

“I only talk about peace,” she demurred.

Cocaine Bear’s Oscar moment

Elizabeth Banks brought the titular creature from her “Cocaine Bear” to present — but unlike the movie, which featured an entirely CGI bear, this was clearly some guy in a suit.

Lady Gaga’s stripped down performance

You might think Lady Gaga’s bare-faced, ripped-jeans-and-T-shirt appearance during her performance of “Hold My Hand” was because it was all last minute. After all, producers had said just days before that she wouldn’t perform the best original song nominee from “Top Gun: Maverick” and it was only revealed today that she had been slotted in.

But Gaga was dazzling on the champagne carpet before the show, in a Versace gown and full makeup, presenting a very different aesthetic two hours later.

(Editor’s note: This item has been corrected to show that her gown was Versace, not Valentino.)

‘All Quiet on the Western Front’ repeats history

The German film “All Quiet on the Western Front” won best international picture. The movie’s victory reflected the success of the original 1930 American film, which won Oscars for best picture and best director.

The 2022 version is also up for best picture.

‘The Last of Us’ vs. The Oscars

Pedro Pascal is in two places at once. As he presented the Oscar for best documentary short alongside Elizabeth Olsen on ABC, Pascal was also watchable on HBO as “The Last of Us” aired its season finale.

The zombie apocalypse hit was up against the Oscars during the 9-10 p.m. hour. While the show moved its time slot for the Super Bowl, it didn’t back down against the Academy Awards. AP reporter Alicia Rancilio  had more on the matchup.

Spring forward, into a show-is-long joke

It’s a frequent complaint at awards shows like the Oscars: The program is too long.

And host Jimmy Kimmel evidently agrees, with a joke that almost seemed obligatory given today’s time change.

“I know we lost an hour because of daylight saving time but I spoke to the producers and good news: We’ve added that hour into the telecast,” Kimmel said.

Deepika Padukone introduces ‘Naatu Naatu’

Bollywood superstar Deepika Padukone — who got her start in South Indian cinema with a Kannada-language film — introduced the performance of best original song nominee “Naatu Naatu,” from the Telugu-language “RRR.”

The high-energy performance, featuring playback singers Kaala Bhairava and Rahul Sipligunj and a squadron of dancers, was still relatively tame — there was no dancing in the aisles like there’s been at screenings in Hollywood.

Ruth Carter dedicates Oscar to her late mom

“This is for my mother. She was 101,” Ruth E. Carter said while accepting the Oscar for best costume design for “Black Panther: Wakanda Forever.”

Carter paid tribute to her mother, Mabel Carter, saying she died “this past week.”

“This film prepared me for this moment. Chadwick, please take care of mom,” she said.

The win gave Carter her second Oscar — she won for 2018’s “Black Panther.” and her latest statue is for the sequel.

“Black Panther: Wakanda Forever” grappled with the grief of losing its superhero – and film star Chadwick Boseman.

Jenny the donkey is guest of honor

Jenny, who played the donkey in “The Banshees of Inisherin,” graced the Oscars stage wearing a bedazzled emotional support animal vest.

“Not only is Jenny an actor, she’s a certified emotional support donkey,” host Jimmy Kimmel said. “At least that’s what we told the airline to get her on the plane from Ireland.”

As Kimmel pointed out her co-stars seated in the audience, Colin Farrell blew her a kiss.

Farrell thanked Jenny when he won a Golden Globe earlier this year.

Jamie Lee Curtis: ‘I know that they would be incredibly proud of me’

Before best supporting actress winner Jamie Lee Curtis entered the press room to take questions, she grabbed the mic from the moderator to announce her presence.

“Everyone,” she said in a deep mock announcer’s voice, “the apparent Oscar winner Jamie Lee Curtis is entering the room.”

When reporters held up the numbers they use to show they have a question for the winner, it looked an awful lot like an auction.

“What are they bidding on?” Curtis asked.

She was asked if she thought the Oscar acting categories should no longer be divided between men and women, she said she thought it wasn’t a bad idea, but she had mixed feelings.

“As the mother of a trans daughter, I understand that,” she said. “But if we de-gender the category, I’m concerned it will mean less opportunities for women.”

Next she was asked whether she thought her famous parents, Janet Leigh and Tony Curtis, were looking down on her.

“I’ll be honest. I don’t believe in a world where there are a bunch of people looking down on us,” But I believe we ARE them… and I know that they would be incredibly proud of me.”

No Denzel this year

A year ago at the Oscars, Denzel Washington was seated near the stage and  even offered counsel to Will Smith after The Slap.  This year, he was seated near the court and watching The Lakers.

Oscar Night in Los Angeles was simultaneous with the Knicks-Lakers game, with New York in town for its annual visit to the Lakers’ home floor.

Washington skipped the Oscars and took in the game sitting next to Spike Lee, a longtime Knicks fan.

Stephanie Hsu steps in for Mitski

David Byrne kept it frank at the Oscars. When the former Talking Heads singer performed best original song nominee “This is the Life” from “Everything Everywhere All at Once” with star Stephanie Hsu and the band Son Lux, he raised his hands in the middle of the first verse to show he was sporting the hot dog fingers the characters had in one of the movie’s multiverses.

Hsu, who was nominated for supporting actress earlier in the night, stepped in for singer Mitski.

A very happy birthday for ‘An Irish Goodbye’ star

Here’s an Oscar song that wasn’t planned: “Happy birthday” was performed, on stage and by many in the audience, for “An Irish Goodbye” star James Martin after the movie won best live action short film. The actor turned 31 on Sunday.

Martin has Down syndrome, and his story — from Starbucks barista to the Oscar stage — has captured the imagination of many in recent weeks.

Del Toro: ‘Do you want me to repeat the answer in English?’

After Guillermo Del Toro, animated feature winner for “Guillermo del Toro’s Pinocchio,” got a backstage question, and gave an answer, in Spanish, the moderator asked that reporters who ask non-English questions repeat them in English for the benefit of the entire press room.

“Do you want me to repeat the answer in English?” said Del Toro, a little peeved. “Because I can. What the f—-?”

After he repeated the answer, in which he said, “This is an important year for Latin America in animation,” he got a round of applause.

‘Navalny’ wins for best documentary

“My husband is in prison just for telling the truth. My husband is in prison just for defending democracy,” Yulia Navalnaya said. “Alexei, I am dreaming of the day when you will be free and our country will be free. Stay strong, my love.”

Jamie Lee Curtis takes best supporting actress

“My mother and father were both nominated for Oscars in different categories — I just won an Oscar!”

— Jamie Lee Curtis said, crying. Her parents were actors Tony Curtis and Janet Leigh.

“Everything Everywhere All at Once,” nominated for 11 awards tonight is so far two for two.

Ke Huy Quan takes best supporting actor

From the second Ke Huy Quan’s win for best supporting actor was announced, there were tears.

Presenter Ariana DeBose choked up while reading the name of the “Everything Everywhere All at Once” actor, and Quan was emotional throughout while delivering a rousing acceptance speech.

“My journey started on a boat. I spent a year in a refugee camp,” Quan said. “Somehow, I ended up here on Hollywood’s biggest stage. They say stories like this only happen in the movies. I cannot believe it’s happening to me. This — THIS — is the American dream.”

Best animated feature

“Please help us keep animation in the conversation.”

How long did it take for The Slap to come up?

Jimmy Kimmel was guaranteed to reference The Slap in his monologue — he needed a little over seven minutes (about 10 1/2 minutes into the telecast) before he made his first veiled reference to Will Smith’s infamous slapping of Chris Rock last year.

“We have nominees from every corner of Dublin,” Kimmel said. “Five Irish actors are nominated tonight, which means the odds of another fight on stage just went way up.”

Less than three minutes later, he was a little more direct: “We want you to have fun, we want you to feel safe, and most importantly, we want me to feel safe,” Kimmel said. “So we have strict policies in place. If anyone in this theater commits an act of violence at any point in this show, you will be awarded the Oscar for Best Actor and permitted to give a 19-minute long speech.”

Smith won his best actor Oscar not long after the slap.

Oscars no shows

“Top Gun” star Tom Cruise and “Avatar: The Way of Water” director James Cameron are not in attendance tonight.

“The two guys who insisted we go to the theater, did not show up at the theater,” host Jimmy Kimmel quipped during the monologue.

Lots of newcomer nominees

Of the 20 actors up for the biggest individual prizes in their fields Sunday night — best actor, best actress, best supporting actor, best supporting actress — 16 are first-time nominees, which host Jimmy Kimmel called out in his monologue after parachuting in.

Cate Blanchett (“Tár”) is the only acting nominee to have won (twice). One of her fellow best actress nominees, Michelle Williams (“The Fabelmans,”) is now a five-time Oscar nominee but is still seeking her first win.

The other two non-first-time nominees on the list have waited a long time for today.

Angela Bassett (“Black Panther: Wakanda Forever”) is now a two-time nominee, after being up for best actress following her portrayal of Tina Turner in “What’s Love Got to do With It” at the awards in 1994. And Judd Hirsch (“The Fabelmans”) got his only previous nomination in 1980, for his work in “Ordinary People” — when he lost to one of his co-stars in that film, Timothy Hutton.

Jimmy Kimmel, Maverick

The telecast opened with a montage from the nominees, before cutting to Jimmy Kimmel in the cockpit of a fighter jet flown by “Top Gun: Maverick” star Tom Cruise. Cruise demanded Kimmel eject in the video before the camera cut to the exterior of the Dolby, over which two jets flew over. Kimmel then “parachuted” onstage before beginning his monologue.

Inside the Dolby Theatre, before the show

Our roving carpet reporter Lindsey Bahr will be seated in the audience for the ceremony. Now reporting from inside the Dolby, she reports that guests mingled in the lobby, sipping champagne and water as the lights flashed and announcements blared — it was 10 minutes to showtime.

“Everyone please take your seats,” the announcer pleaded.

In the show room, another announcer asked the audience to refrain from hugging winners on their walk up to the stage — it’ll cut into their ticking clock, they said. The voice also advised to save the agent and manager and barista thanks for the press room and not on the live stage.

“Make us laugh, make us feel,” it said.

Lady Gaga arrives

Lady Gaga isn’t kidding around — she’s not only added a last-minute performance at the Oscars, but also walked its carpet.

The “Hold My Hand” singer wasn’t expected at the show but was confirmed as a performer Sunday. She was among the late arrivals on the Oscars’ champagne-colored carpet.

Producers had initially cited her schedule on the “Joker” sequel as the reason she couldn’t perform.

The superstar could win her second Academy Award if the “Top Gun: Maverick” track wins best original song Sunday.

Marcell the Shell with Thom Browne on

Jenny Slate and her date Marcel the Shell were both clad in Thom Browne. Slate wore a black gown, while the tiny mollusk — whom she voices in the animated film nominee “Marcel the Shell with Shoes On” — wore an equally tiny suit.

Thom Browne recently won a case in which Adidas had sued him over his use of stripes. But neither outfit featured stripes tonight.

Scenes from the champagne carpet

Jessica Chastain and Nicole Kidman shared an intimate moment, with both stars in glittery sequins. Chastain blew Kidman as a kiss as they separated, roving carpet reporter and AP Film Writer Lindsey Bahr reports.

Behind them best actress nominee Michelle Yeoh was whisked down the carpet, with both a publicist and security clearing the way for her.

The “Everything Everywhere All at Once” crew was among the later arrivals to the show that they’re widely expected to sweep.

Supporting actor nominee Ke Huy Quan followed moments later, waving excitedly to cameras and fans.

At 4:30 p.m. Pacific, it’s getting close to showtime and attendees are supposed to be in seats by 4:45. Rooney Mara and best actress nominee Michelle Williams arrived close together, walking slowly down the now somewhat dirty champagne carpet, and Michael B. Jordan waved to photographers.

Angela Bassett is ‘pretty chill’

Angela Bassett, supporting actress nominee for “Black Panther: Wakanda Forever,” is poised to just do her thing.

“The last couple hours, I’ve been pretty chill,” she told AP.

Oscars fashion

Brendan Fraser went for the traditional black tuxedo. Fan Bingbing was regal in sparkling silver and emerald green. Sofia Carson stunned in princess white. Monica Barbaro went with a two-tone gown. See all the fashion news from AP’s spot  along the Oscars carpet here.

Austin Butler really loves the Oscars

Best actor nominee Austin Butler is a longtime fan of the Oscars — and he’s likely to get emotional.

“Even when I was a kid, I would watch and,” he told AP, if “there was a sound mixer who would win and I would get tears in my eyes,” he told AP.

Butler is considered a top contender for his turn as the star of “Elvis.”

Popcorn guy hits the show

The popcorn guy is at the Oscars.

Jason Grosboll — the popcorn-scooping, movie-theater-working guy from Texas who became a phenomenon when his elaborate, showy, butter-spraying, bucket-filling routine went viral on TikTok earlier this year — is at the Academy Awards.

And yes, he has a popcorn machine at the ready.

His pick for best picture? “Everything Everywhere All at Once,” he told ABC from inside the Dolby Theatre.

Begley’s metro to the Oscars

The question most everyone gets asked, often loudly, on the red carpet: “WHO ARE YOU WEARING?”

For Ed Begley Jr., the better question was: “HOW DID YOU GET HERE?”

In his case, the metro.

The actor and his daughter posed on their way into the Oscars, with Begley flashing his Metro TAP card on the carpet.

He’s a big fan of public transit wherever he is. “It’s not that I’m such an environmental zealot…I’m just cheap,” he tweeted after a subway ride in November.

Antonio Banderas takes on ‘Guillermo del Toro’s Pinocchio’

“We’re going to lose tonight against a liar called ‘Pinocchio,‘” Antonio Banderas joked on the Oscars carpet.

Banderas voices the main character in “Puss in Boots: The Last Wish,” which is nominated for best animated feature.

Despite his belief the film wouldn’t win an Oscar, he said it was very important for the way it approached death in a kids’ movie.

“I think it was daring because during the COVID times the kids were victims, too. They didn’t know why they had to be home. They didn’t know why they couldn’t go to school. They didn’t know why they couldn’t play with their friends, why they have to wear a mask,” he told the AP. “So, that the movie is talking about that is, I think it’s important.”

Guillermo Del Toro’s animated film is expected to win the top animated film prize.

Cara on the carpet

Cara Delevingne walked quickly down the champagne carpet in her burgundy gown, barely glancing at the television cameras as photographers speedwalked to catch up with her.

Then, suddenly, she broke into a sprint near the entrance to the Dolby Theatre. Her target? Jamie Lee Curtis. The two hugged and chatted as photographers, happy to catch a break from the burst walk, captured the intimate moment.

Delevingne recently revealed in a Vogue profile that she was four months’ sober.

“This process obviously has its ups and downs, but I’ve started realizing so much,” she told the magazine. “People want my story to be this after-school special where I just say, ‘Oh look, I was an addict, and now I’m sober and that’s it.’ And it’s not as simple as that.”

Nobel laureates at the Oscars

Nobel laureate Malala Yousafzai, 25, was a producer on  “Stranger at the Gate,”  a nominee for short documentary film. Dressed in a silver Ralph Lauren gown, she said her dress represented “peace, love, harmony.”

“I feel so much myself in it,” she told the AP.

She’s not the only Nobel laureate with a stake in tonight’s Oscars — the Peace Prize winner is joined by Nobel Literature Prize winner Kazuo Ishiguro, who is nominated for best adapted screenplay for “Looking.”

Jamie Lee Curtis caused a bit of a frenzy in the fan bleachers. The supporting actress nominee clasped her hands together as if to say thanks for the support before she was whisked away to the Dolby Theatre leaving some whispering “Wait, where’d Jamie Lee go?”

Draped in gold, Sigourney Weaver made her own beeline down the carpet, bypassing dozens of shouting reporters.

Elsewhere Allison Williams seamlessly slipped through the crowds despite her billowing train, as Mindy Kaling squealed to find her friend Marissa Ross on the carpet as both cooed how amazing one another looked. Miranda July, who narrated the nominated documentary “Fire of Love,” meanwhile stayed choose to her director Sara Dosa.

Jamie Lee Curtis has nothing but love for fellow nominees

Supporting actress nominee Jamie Lee Curtis has enjoyed getting to know her fellow nominees during this award season journey.

“I feel like we all got human with each other, that we became human beings with our own lives and husbands and wives and kids and dogs and the humanizing takes away the competition,” Curtis said. “It’s not a competition, it’s just artists.”

Ruben Östlund’s next: ‘The Entertainment System is Down”

“Triangle of Sadness” nominee Ruben Östlund offered some details on his next directorial venture, “The Entertainment System is Down.” He told AP that it takes place on a plane whose entertainment system goes, well, down — the film will challenge the audience to be bored along with the passengers, he said.

Harry Shum Jr. and Hong Chau

Harry Shum Jr. made sure to grab supporting actress nominee Hong Chau to compliment on her bubblegum pink frock while chatting with friends.

“You look amazing,” he said.

“The Whale” actor replied he did too.

“I try to change it up,” Shum said.

He then turned back to his pals who suggested a selfie.

“I have long arms,” he said as he snapped the pic.

Oscars accountants arrive

Representatives from PricewaterhouseCoopers arrived clutching three black briefcases. Two PwC partners are the only ones who know the identities of the winners before the envelopes are opened. The accounting firm tabulates the votes — read more for  how Oscar voting works.

At 94, James Hong finally at Oscars

James Hong was 3 months old when the first Oscars were handed out in 1929.

At 94, he’s finally made the show.

Wearing a bow tie with googly eyes, the “Everything Everywhere All At Once” actor arrived in his typically playful mood for the Oscars.

“It shows if you wait long enough, you’ll make it,” Hong told ABC as he walked the champagne-colored carpet. “I’m very happy that my mother fed me those bitter herbs when I was young. That’s carried me on now to 94 and one month.”

Alexei Navalny’s daughter speaks

The daughter of Russian political prisoner Alexei Navalny, Dasha Navalnaya, said it was difficult to be attending the Oscars to bring attention to the documentary about her father’s imprisonment, but he wanted her there.

“I’m fighting for freedom of speech and trying to get Alexei out, my dad, and fighting for democracy in Russia,” she told the AP on the red carpet.

“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. That’s freedom to Alexei Navalny and being here on this carpet, speaking to folks like you is a perfect platform we need to talk about our movie and to talk about Alexei,” said “Navalny” director Daniel Roher.

Christian Siriano for Harvey Guillen

“Puss in Boots” star Harvey Guillen said his outfit for the night was designed by Christian Siriano — the first time Siriano has designed for a plus-size man, Guillen said.

The dramatic, embellished black ensemble featured a long coat that flared out at the waist. It evoked Guillen’s vampire mockumentary show “What We Do in the Shadows,” on which he plays fan favorite Guillermo.

Wolfgang Puck’s edible Oscars

Wolfgang Puck turned the Oscars carpet into a sports event for a few moments, tossing out his miniature chocolate Oscars to the fans in the bleachers, who cheered and chanted “Wolfgang! Wolfgang! Wolfgang!”

The tiny, edible statuettes are handed out to all attendees of the Governors Ball after the show.

Troy Kotsur’s advice for Oscar winners

Troy Kotsur, the best supporting actor winner for last year’s “CODA” offered tonight’s future Oscar winner some advice: “Don’t leave it in your car and make sure you zip up your fly” before accepting the award, he told AP on the carpet.

Kotsur also says he likes the Oscars because it’s one of the few times the acting community comes together.

“It’s like a family reunion,” he said.

Composer dons Christine Blasey Ford testimony coat

Composer Laura Karpman used the red carpet to bring attention back to the sexual assault accusation against U.S. Supreme Court Justice Brett Kavanaugh.

Karpman, a former academy music branch governor, described her black and white frock as “the Christine Coat.”

“It’s a piece of wearable art,” said Karpman, who also had black-and-white sunglasses to match.

The coat was made by two artists, Suzanne McClelland and Alix Pearlstein, and has the testimony of Christine Blasey Ford printed on it.

Ford testified in 2018 before the U.S. Senate about an alleged decades-old assault by Kavanaugh. Her appearance nearly derailed his confirmation to the nation’s highest court.

Brendan Fraser causes frenzy

A-list nominees often wait until the last minute to arrive, but press and photographers were in a tizzy to see that best actor nominee Brendan Fraser had arrived just after 2 p.m. Pacific.

Many crowded around the “The Whale” actor to get shots and comments and plans elsewhere had to be rearranged to accommodate the crowd. Several men holding the Wolfgang Puck Governors Ball food on a large table were rerouted to the back of the carpet, waiting for the Fraser frenzy to clear.

“Last time I was at the Oscars was 2005,” Fraser told the AP. “It’s good to be back.”

Fan Bingbing at the Oscars

Fan Bingbing, who appeared in “X-Men” films  before disappearing amid a tax case  in China, is at the Oscars.

Fan was becoming a crossover star with roles lined up in a Bruce Willis film and was in a pair of films based on Marvel Comics characters before she was ordered to pay $130 million in taxes and penalties by the Chinese government in 2018.

Before the fine was levied, Fan went dark on social media, her management offices closed and she largely disappeared from public view.

She has had a few recent credits, including the spy thriller “The 355,” which was released in 2022.

She has reemerged this year, appearing at the Berlin Film Festival last month with a new movie,  “Green Night.”

Marvel executive Victoria Alonso out to support ‘Argentina, 1985’

Argentine film producer Victoria Alonso, whose day job is president of physical, post production, VFX and animation at Marvel Studios, is here in support of best international film nominee “Argentina 1985,” which she produced.

“They let me off the hook for a bit,” she said of her Marvel bosses. “It’s an important film.”

Alonso, the film’s director and cast posed in front of an Oscar and sang an Argentine song together for good luck.

“We’re going to win an Oscar,” she said, smiling before joining her team down the line.

Lilly Singh touches up

Comedian Lilly Singh stepped aside to a corner of the champagne carpet to adjust her outfit, a dramatic fuschia frock, and fix her makeup. But soon roaming photographers had spotted her and asked her to pose in front of the big Oscar.

“Right in front of the Oscar?” she said. “So many cameras I love it!”

She then made her way to the bleachers to give high fives to fans who cheered her on.

‘RRR’ singer promises unique performance

“Naatu Naatu” singer Kaala Bhairava promised that tonight’s performance of the “RRR” song will be unlike anything the audience has seen before. He told the AP on the carpet that the performance will feature a mix of old and new choreography. Bhairava will perform alongside Rahul Sipligunj.

Fans in the bleachers

A few dozen lucky and well-dressed fans practiced their cheers before the stars started arriving. Nominees often make the bleacher one of their first stops to shake hands and pose for selfies.

Lady Gaga to perform ‘Top Gun’ song, after all

AP Film Writer Lindsey Bahr — our roving reporter tonight — reports that a person close to the production with knowledge of the performance confirmed that Lady Gaga will sing “Hold My Hand,” the Oscar-nominated original song from “Top Gun: Maverick.”

Producers had said  just days before  that the superstar’s filming schedule for the “Joker” sequel would keep her from performing. Now that she’s been added to the lineup, all five original song nominees will be performed tonight.

All calm on the champagne carpet

Our roving red —  sorry, champagne — carpet  reporter  Lindsey Bahr  reports that for at least a few moments, the champagne carpet was calm at the 95th Academy Awards as press, photographers and publicists took their places outside the Dolby Theatre before 1 p.m. Pacific.

Some chattered about the possibility of a Lady Gaga performance, while others took last-minute selfies in front of the larger-than-life Oscars. Others wondered if the light colored carpet was going to stay clean the whole night.

Oddsmakers bet on ‘Everything, Everywhere’ to win it all

For those who don’t want to wait, go ahead and offer congratulations to “Everything Everywhere All at Once.”

Oddsmakers say it’ll win at least six Oscars this year.

Yes, you can bet on the Oscars (in some states, anyway). FanDuel Sportsbook is among the many that has offered odds on the biggest categories, and it predicts — as many others do — that “Everything Everywhere All at Once” is the night’s big winner.

A breakdown of some of their bets:

• Best picture, “Everything Everywhere All at Once”
• Best actress, Michelle Yeoh
• Best actor, Brendan Fraser
• Best director, Daniel Kwan and Daniel Scheinert

Guide to the best actor race

A first-time best actor winner awaits for certain — since  none of the nominees  has won an Oscar.

It’s likely a two-man battle between Brendan Fraser (“The Whale”) and Austin Butler (“Elvis”) for the award. Colin Farrell (“The Banshees of Inisherin”) is a potential stealer, with Paul Mescal (“Aftersun”) and Bill Nighy (“Living”) potentially pulling off a surprise.

Will Smith was last year’s winner for “King Richard,” though few may remember that given the extracurricular events of that night.

Guide to the best actress race

The  best actress category  at Sunday’s Oscars has the potential for history.

Michelle Yeoh (“Everything Everywhere All At Once”) would become the first Asian woman to win in this category if she — as many expect — gets the Oscar.

WATCH: Michelle Yeoh on her Oscar-nominated performance in ‘Everything Everywhere All at Once’

The top threat to Yeoh’s win has to be Cate Blanchett, the two-time Oscar winner who starred in “Tár” — depicting Lydia Tár, the fictional conductor of a German orchestra. Blanchett learned to play piano, speak German and conduct an orchestra for the film.

There was a surprise nomination of Andrea Riseborough for her performance as an alcoholic Texas single mother in the scantly seen indie drama “To Leslie.” Five-time nominee Michelle Williams (“The Fabelmans”) is also in the mix, as is Ana de Armas for her performance in the divisive “Blonde.”

If you missed Rihanna at the Super Bowl, you can catch her at the Oscars

Rihanna  stole the show at halftime  on football’s biggest night, and now she’ll have a chance to leave her mark on Hollywood’s biggest night.

She’s scheduled to perform “Lift Me Up” from “Black Panther: Wakanda Forever.”

“Lift Me Up,” with music by Tems, Rihanna, Ryan Coogler and Ludwig Göransson and lyrics by Tems and Ryan Coogler, is nominated for original song. It is Rihanna’s first Oscar nomination.

Argentina seeking more gold

Not even three months have passed since Argentina celebrated one gold trophy — the World Cup , hoisted for all to see by the legendary Lionel Messi.

Another trophy hoist might be coming Sunday. And it, too, would prompt a national celebration.

Up for best international film is “Argentina, 1985,” which details how prosecutors brought leaders of Argentina’s bloody 1976-1983 military dictatorship to trial. It won a Golden Globe in January, which was big news in the South American nation, and now Oscar buzz could be the latest reason to party.

“After the World Cup win, this is an immense joy,” the film’s star Ricardo Darín said in Spanish at January’s Golden Globe Awards. But it’s up against Germany’s “All Quiet on the Western Front,” which was also nominated for best picture.

Year of the sequel

For the first time, two sequels (  “Top Gun: Maverick,” “Avatar: The Way of Water”  ) are nominated this year for best picture.

And, of course,  The Slap will be revisited .

There likely won’t be a sequel to Will Smith striking Chris Rock during last year’s Oscars — would anyone dare? — but it’ll be talked about early and probably often. Host Jimmy Kimmel has already revealed the obvious, that it’ll come up in his opening monologue. We’ll be keeping a tally of how often it comes up.

The task of  keeping the show going  along smoothly — and only in headlines for the right reasons — falls to Kimmel. He was brought in partly to have a steady hand on the telecast, which will restore all categories to the live show. The Oscars also has a “crisis team” ready, just in case there is an unwanted sequel.

Glenn Close out due to COVID

Glenn Close has tested positive for COVID-19 and won’t be presenting at the Oscars as planned.

A representative for the actor says she is isolating and resting. There’s no immediate word on who will replace Close as a presenter. She was one of roughly 40 stars including Halle Berry, Andrew Garfield, Jessica Chastain, Michael B. Jordan and Sigourney Weaver  who will be presenters  Sunday.

Last year, Oscar nominee Lin-Manuel Miranda had to  bow out of the show  after his wife tested positive for COVID-19.

Three times the charm for Kimmel

Jimmy Kimmel  is hosting the Oscars on Sunday night, the third time that he’s held that distinction — which puts him into rare company.

He becomes only the fifth person to be the solo host of the Oscars at least three times, joining  Bob Hope , Billy Crystal, Johnny Carson and Whoopi Goldberg.

Oscar host Jimmy Kimmel speaks before workers roll out the tan carpet for the arrivals area as preparations continue along Hollywood Blvd. for the 95th Academy Awards in Los Angeles, California, March 8, 2023. Photo by Mike Blake/REUTERS

Hope hosted solo 14 times, and five times with others. Crystal was a nine-time solo host, Carson a five-timer and Goldberg a four-timer.

There are four others who have been host at least three times, but lack the three solo gigs. Jack Lemmon hosted twice alone and twice with others; Steve Martin and Jerry Lewis each hosted by themselves twice and with others once; and David Niven was a three-time host, but never did the job solo.

In all, there have been 84 people to be recognized as having a hosting role at the Oscars. That list does not include one waterfowl; Donald Duck was credited as a host in 1958.

How to watch the Oscars

The 2023 Oscars air live on ABC at 8 p.m. Eastern/5 p.m. Pacific. If you’re looking to tune into the red carpet, there’s an Oscars’ official pre-show beginning at 1:30 p.m. on YouTube. The Associated Press will livestream the first 90 minutes of arrivals on YouTube  as well. Here’s more on  how to watch and stream the Oscars .

Oscars predictions

AP Film Writers Jake Coyle and Lindsey Bahr are pros at the predictions game — but the unexpected can always happen. Last year, Coyle edged out Bahr in  predicting the eventual wins . We’ll see who wins tonight, but until then:  Read their predictions  and check out the interactive Oscar ballot at the end.

With the 2024 Oscars now in the rearview mirror, Hollywood’s focus turns to Emmy season. A number of TV awards shows are set to take place over the next few months, including the BAFTA TV Awards, the newly announced Gotham TV Awards , the Critics Choice Real TV Awards and, of course, the Primetime Emmys , which are returning to September after the strike-delayed 2023 Emmys was pushed to January 2024.

Oscar season is also already marking some key dates, including for 2025’s Academy Awards and Golden Globes.
