The US comedian Conan O'Brien presents the awards from Los Angeles, with the show derived from 16:00 (PT), 19:00 (ET) and midnight (GMT).

You can also expect many references to the forest fires at night, the LA and devastated Thousands of houses destroyed.

Here are all the most important topics of conversation and things that you should pay attention to at the ceremony when an eventful price -resistance season comes to an end.

What films are running?

Netflix Emilia PérezNetflix

Emilia Pérez with Karla Sofía Gascón has the most nominations this year

Emilia PérezVia a Mexican drug lord that changes gender, a total of 13 nominations – including the best picture, the best actress (Karla Sofía Gascón) and the best supporting actress (Zoe Saldaña).

It is the most nominated non -English language film ever. It is actually a French production that mostly plays in Mexico, with Spanish as a spoken main language.

Karla Sofía Gascón's nomination made her the first trans person who was nominated in a acting category (although Elliot Page was nominated for Juno in 2008 before the actor changed).

However, the film had – he had Already caused in Mexico controversy -was designated by controversy after a social media series with Gascón.

Emilia Pérez remains strong in some categories, but it is unlikely that the board in the way, like Oppenheimer – which also had 13 nominations, was swinging last year.

Evil Also has 10 nominations, including the British actress Cynthia Erivo and her co-star Ariana Grande, during Demi Moore the first Oscar nomination of her career for her role in The substance.

In the meantime, the drama of the papal election conclave Has eight nominations, including the best actor for his British star Ralph Fiennes.

All films above are available for the coveted best image award and are accompanied by AnoraVia a New York stripper who fell in love with the son of a wealthy Russian.

The film that has six nominations, jumped in the race After a series of forerunners, the Critics Choice Awards and two large guild ceremonies – the Directors Guild of America and Producers Guild of America Awards wins.

However, there is no consensus about what will ultimately win the main prize – with the other competitors for the best picture including the A complete unknownPresent Dune: Part twoPresent I'm still here And Nickel boy.

What else is there to pay attention to?

Timothée Chalamet is in the race for the best actor

This was an unpredictable price shifting season, and there could still be a lot of surprises.

The 62 -year -old Moore, 62, is nominated in the category best actress for playing a fading star The substance.

But it's a tight race.

At the BAFTAS (where I was) there was a gas behind the stage when Anora Star Mikey Madison collected the prize for the best actress.

It was a big blow for the accepted Oscar swing for Moore and an incredible moment for Madison, who was relatively unknown before her role in Anora.

This is exactly the kind of rag-to-in-judicial story that celebrates award ceremonies loved and the film itself.

The best actor can also be in the air. Adrian Brody is the leader with his nod for The brutalist – But Timothée Chalamet is his hardest competition thanks to his celebrated representation of Bob Dylan in A complete unknown.

Last week Chalamets Surprise Sag -Sieg -Sieg after his somewhat eccentric price campaign excited the race.

If he won, Chalamet would not only hold Brody's winning streak, but also take Brodys's record as the youngest winner of the best actor.

Kieran Culkin is the leader for A real painWhile Zoe Saldaña is almost certain to win the best supporting actress for Emilia PérezAfter taking the trophy in a number of forerunner events such as the BAFTAS, SAG Awards and Golden Globes.

10 years since #oscarssowhite

It is worth noting that it has been a decade since the hashtag #oscarssowhite started with the trend, since the Oscar -Award 2015 is concerned with a lack of diversity.

This year there are people with color both in the best actress and in the best acting categories.

Actually, Sing Sings Colman Domingo has been nominated for the second time in a row to the best leading actor.

However, progress remains slow elsewhere.

Coralie Fargeeat is the only woman nominated for the best director for The substanceFrom a field of five.

“Was it progress, yes. Didn't there be enough? Absolutely not,” April rule, la, la, said to me.

“It was never just about the fact that the Oscars were not black enough. It was also about gender, age, class, sexuality and geography.”

“If we still count you one hand, we're not there yet.”

Which stars accept?

Most nominees will draw on the red carpet – I bet, we will keep more tears and hand, which are kept by Cynthia Erivo and Ariana Grande.

There had been a big question mark about whether Karla Sofía Gascón would appear after the series via her previous tweets.

However, it was confirmed that she will take part in the Oscars ceremony herself-it remains if she will run the red carpet and sit with her co-stars.

The moderators include Halle Berry, Whoopi Goldberg, Robert Downey Jr, Cillian Murphy, da'vine Joy Randolph and Emma Stone.

What are the effects of the forest fires?

Many houses were destroyed during the fire in LA

This year's Oscars race has resigned itself to the dark background of devastating forest fires in Los Angeles.

The nominations themselves were moved twice Because of the fires.

There is no doubt that the awards will be difficult to hit the right tone when so many people suffer. It does not fit well with celebrities who display their wealth on the red carpet.

According to Lynette Howell Taylor, a British film producer based in LA, Lynette Howell Taylor, a British film producer and member of the Academy, who lost her own house, was “never on the table”.

She told me that “there would definitely be recognition for what the city went through during the ceremony, with a clear sign of the support mechanisms and the donation methods.

“But in the end the show is about celebrating the films of the year as it is every year,” she said.

Who plays on?

Cynthia Erivo and Ariana Grande will appear

This year the academy removed the original song nominated during the ceremony.

Instead, Evil The stars Erivo and Grande will perform a medley of songs from the film during the Oscars ceremony, which are reported for 10 minutes.

I can already see how social media is in a breakdown over which defy gravity goes, but it remains to be seen whether the duo can restore the energy of Ryan Gosling's viral performance of i'M Noy Ken last year.

Doja Cat, Lisa von Blackpink, Queen Latifah and Raye will be among the other actors during the ceremony.

Who is this year's host?

Ralph Fiennes from Conclave has best had his first nomination in 28 years

Cynthia Erivo is the first black British woman who received two Oscar nominations for acting after being nominated for Harriet in 2020.
