Hollywood’s biggest night is set to take place this weekend, as the film world gathers for the 95th Academy Awards.
Taking place on Sunday, the Oscars will celebrate the best in film from the past year, with absurdist comedy-drama Everything Everywhere All at Once this year’s most-nominated picture with 11 nods.
Notable this year is the inclusion of RRR, the record-breaking South Indian film, which is continuing its haul of international recognitions. The Telugu film's song, Naatu Naatu, is nominated in the Best Original Song category.
Winners will be voted for by the members of the Academy of Motion Picture Arts and Sciences, which is made up of about 10,000 actors, producers, directors and film craftspeople.
Set to be hosted by comedian and talk show host Jimmy Kimmel, the awards will be broadcast live around the world. Here’s how you can watch them:
