From Timothee Chalamet‘s colourful Oscar campaign to celebs like Paul Mescal and Gracie Abrams making their couples’ red carpet debut, we’ve really been inundated with titillating award season moments.
And now we’ve come to the culmination of all those events, as the Oscars is happening this Sunday 15 March. The Academy Awards are known for not only being the final hurrah of the season, but also the most prestigious and glamorous event of them all.
How to watch the Oscars from the UK
The award show will take place at the Dolby Theatre in Los Angeles, as it has since 2001. This year, the ceremony will commence at 4pm local time, meaning that for UK viewers the ceremony will start at midnight.
For those hoping to stay up to catch the show, you can watch full three-hour ceremony on ITV, where pre-show coverage starts from 10:15pm. Jonathan Ross is set to host the live show, offering commentary for UK viewers, while Conan O’Brien is set to host Hollywood’s biggest night in LA.
What can we expect from this year’s ceremony?
The big head-to-head of the night is set to be between Ryan Coogler’s Sinners, which received 16 nominations, and Paul Thomas Anderson’s One Battle After Another, which received the next highest number of nominations.
Sinners Michael B Jordan is also a frontrunner for the Best Actor award, and Hamnet’s Jessie Buckley, who has walked away with the Golden Globe and BAFTA, is the favourite to take home the Best Actress Oscar.
We can also expect musical performances showcasing the soundtracks from Sinners and KPOP Demon Hunters.
There are also plenty of stars who are set to grace the red carpet, and award presenters on the night will include Chris Evans, Nicole Kidman and Pedro Pascal.
