Later, all eyes will be on Hollywood to see if Everything Everywhere All At Once can cap off its incredible awards season by sweeping the Oscars.
Following success at a number of precursor events, the eccentric multiverse adventure is the favorite to win best picture.
However, it will face competition from films such as All Quiet on the Western Front and The Banshees of Inisherin, among others.
In the acting categories, the frontrunners are Austin Butler, Brendan Fraser, Cate Blanchett, and Michelle Yeoh.
Three of the four acting categories were too close to call in the 2023 awards season, making it one of the most unpredictable in recent years.
Winners at other major ceremonies, such as the SAG Awards, Baftas, and Golden Globes, have varied, and there is no consensus on who will win at the Oscars as a result.
Jimmy Kimmel will host the 95th Academy Awards from the Dolby Theatre in Los Angeles.
The chat show host will be hosting the Academy Awards for the third time. He presided over the 2018 event most recently.
The American comic is probably trying to forget the other time the ceremony descended into chaos after the wrong best picture winner was announced.
Kimmel joked about the Dolby Theatre’s red carpet changing color for the first time since 1960 during a media call on Wednesday.
“People have been asking if there’s going to be any trouble this year, is there going to be any violence this year?” Kimmel said, referring to Will Smith slapping Chris Rock at last year’s Oscars.
“I sincerely hope not. But, if there is, I believe the choice of a champagne carpet rather than a red carpet demonstrates our confidence that no blood will be shed.”
According to The Hollywood Reporter, the decision to change the carpet’s color was made for practical reasons. Organisers will be able to “transition more seamlessly from daytime arrivals to an elegant evening setting” with the new one.
Do you want to watch Oscars?
The Oscars will be broadcast live on ABC in the United States. The ceremony will also be streamed live on the network’s website and app.
Sky will broadcast the ceremony simultaneously on four of its channels in the United Kingdom: Sky Arts, Sky News, Sky Showcase, and Sky Cinema Oscars.
Unlikely, this means that British viewers will be able to watch the Oscars on Freeview and Freesat. It will also be available on the Now streaming service (formerly Now TV).
On Sunday, the ceremony begins at 17:00 PT / 20:00 ET. It begins at midnight in the United Kingdom, when Sunday becomes Monday.
The awards are supposed to be given out over three hours, but the ceremony is always at least 30 minutes late.
