It's the night Hollywood celebrates Hollywood! Strap yourself in for several hours of Oscar happenings as the 94th Academy Awards looks to reward the best movies and performances of 2021. And we'll have your winners list live as it all unfolds right here!
After record-low viewership for the 2021 Oscars (coming off a year when hardly anyone went outside to watch movies), the Academy decided to switch things up this go around, with eight award categories being pre-recorded at the Dolby Theatre and edited into the live broadcast, in hopes of creating a show that is more "vital, kinetic, and relevant" (per Academy President David Rubin).
FYI: The Oscars for Documentary (Short Subject), Film Editing, Makeup and Hairstyling, Music (Original Score), Production Design, Short Film (Animated), Short Film (Live Action), and Sound have already been handed out pre-live broadcast so the winners are all listed down at the bottom of the pageant in case you wand to avoid spoilers.
On top of this, the Academy teamed up with Twitter to host an "Oscars Fan Favorite" award, which can include films not nominated for Best Picture. Many feel this prize could go to Spider-Man: No Way Home, which some (including Kevin Smith) felt should have been nominated in the top category since the 10th Best Picture spot wasn't utilized.
The hosts for tonight are Regina Hall, Amy Schumer, and Tiny Tina's Wonderlands' Wanda Sykes as Dune dukes it out with The Power of the Dog, Nightmare Alley, Drive My Car, CODA, Licorice Pizza, and more. Plus, will Will Smith take home his first-ever Oscar for King Richard or will the prize go to No Way Home star Andrew Garfield? Will Jessica Chastain win for her portrayal of Tammy Faye Bakker or will Penélope Cruz take home the award for her performance in Parallel Mothers? Either way, it'd be a big "W" for The 355. Can beloved Tinseltown couple Kirsten Dunst and Jesse Plemons bring both supporting acting statues home? Let's find out!
