Among this year's contenders, there are films directed by modern masters like Steven Spielberg, James Cameron, Todd Field, Baz Luhrmann, and Sarah Polley. There ...

Underneath its literal multiverse of layers is a much-needed story about a family reconnecting, accepting each other (flaws and all), and maintaining hope that they are on the road to a better understanding of one another. Among this year’s Best Picture nominees, it’s the only one that splits the difference between comedy and tragedy, the balancing act that McDonagh has perfected over the course of 30-odd years. It’s a cinematic symphony of actor-director cohesion in rare form, and the movies are all the better for it. There are movies this Oscar season that juggle more moving parts and take more audacious swings, but none have the elegance and narrative specificity of McDonagh’s work. The story of drinking buddies Pádraic (Colin Farrell) and Colm (Brendan Gleeson) on an invented Irish isle in the midst of civil war takes a simple premise and imbues it with multitudes. Sure, there are things to nitpick, like the somewhat episodic structure of a film so enamored with the magic of cinema, but that’s life, messy and worthy of examining in all its forms. The subject matter is, of course, heavy, but the care with which Polley and her cast and crew bring it to the screen make it something else entirely: the kind of story you can’t wait to see play out, but one you never want to see end. More often than not, “All Quiet on the Western Front” falls into the latter camp, but it’s nevertheless attuned to the powers of the genre on every level. Fortunately, Polley doesn’t suffer from the same affliction, weaving an artful and emotional film that only grows more richer the more her characters — yes, most of them women — talk to each other. Ruben Östlund’s second Palme d’Or winner is perhaps the most clearly amusing of this year’s Best Picture nominees, a screamingly funny upbraiding of the upper upper class that delights in taking them down a peg (or more). “The Way of Water” is an immersive survival story in tandem with delivering breathtaking visual information in every second of its hefty running time. If one is a Luhrmann fan, they are likely to point to the film’s impeccable craftwork and real sense of showmanship as high points.

Everything Everywhere All at Once, Elvis and Tár—oh my! There are so many Best Picture nominees and so little time before the 2023 Oscars.

Hollywood is gearing up for the Oscars with the 95th Academy Awards this Sunday 12 March at the Dolby Theatre in Los Angeles.

The Oscars are a far cry from what they claim to be – a celebration of the previous year’s cinematic offerings. [Everything Everywhere All at Once](/topic/everything-everywhere-all-at-once) has the most nominations and is considered the frontrunner for best picture having won a string of top prizes at the guild awards that precede the Oscars. The official Oscars dinner is, as one would expect, a lavish affair. First-time nominee [Michelle Yeoh](/topic/michelle-yeoh) could also become the first Asian best actress winner. The academy will have its first-ever “crisis team” in place to react to any similar surprises. It may have swept awards season so far, but the Daniels’ absurdist comedy-drama is still an underdog in this race. 3 nights at a private lighthouse [Oscars](https://www.independent.co.uk/topic/oscars) viewers, with the [Avatar ](https://www.independent.co.uk/topic/avatar)director revealing that he knew he’d made a mistake after seeing Warren Beatty’s face backstage.

Jimmy Kimmel returns to host the 95th Academy Awards on Sunday at the Dolby Theatre in Los Angeles.

How will the return to a solo host shape the show? Will a more populist best picture field boost the ratings? For a show that has often trended toward art-house fare, the presence of such theatrical juggernauts as “Top Gun: Maverick” and “Avatar: The Way of Water” in the best picture race may restore a bigger audience.

Everything to know about the 95th Academy Awards: Jimmy Kimmel, who also hosted in 2017 and 2018, is back for a third time as host. Wanda Sykes, Amy Schumer and ...

In February, [he said](https://variety.com/2023/film/news/austin-butler-stops-elvis-voice-damaged-vocal-chords-1235511835/)he’s officially “getting rid of the accent.” We’ll see. - Best actress: At first, Cate Blanchett — who is a two-time Oscar winner — appeared to be the favorite for her role as Lydia Tár, an imperious orchestra conductor, in Todd Field’s psychodrama “Tár.” She won the best actress (drama) at the Golden Globes, and best actress at Critics Choice and BAFTA. Then, model Ashley Graham, actor Vanessa Hudgens and creator and comedian Lilly Singh will host a “Countdown to the Oscars” lead-in show at 6:30 p.m. Butler wowed audiences with his performance as Elvis Presley in Baz Luhrmann’s splashy biopic “Elvis.” The first-time Oscar nominee won a Golden Globe and BAFTA award for the role. The first-time Oscar nominee won a Golden Globe and BAFTA award for the performance. That’s because Angela Bassett, nominated for best supporting actress for her role as Queen Ramonda, the matriarch in “Black Panther: Wakanda Forever,” has also picked up some awards at the Golden Globes and Critics Choice earlier this year. [Jimmy Kimmel](https://www.nbcnews.com/pop-culture/jimmy-kimmel-returns-host-95th-oscars-rcna56005), who also hosted in 2017 and 2018, is back for a third time as host. Kerry Condon, nominated for “The Banshees of Inisherin,” also earned a BAFTA for her supporting role. As we noted before, “Everything Everywhere All At Once” has been dominating this awards season, making it a likely frontrunner for the biggest category of the night: best picture.

Whether you want to stream it live on Sunday or catch highlights afterward, here's how to watch the 95th Academy Awards.

[where to find the nominated movies](https://www.wired.com/story/how-to-watch-2023-oscar-nominee-best-picture-movies-online/) will point you in the right direction. The Oscars are expected to arrive on Hulu for on-demand streaming the following day. With 8 nods, the Elvis biopic is the third-most-nominated film at this year’s awards, with Austin Butler up for Actor in a Leading Role. If you already have a cable subscription that includes ABC, you can watch the 2023 Oscar awards on your TV, on What Hulu + Live TV lacks in obscure channels you’ll likely never watch, it makes up for with ad-supported access to Disney+, ESPN+, and Hulu for $70 a month. Directed by Daniel Kwan and Daniel Scheinert, Everything Everywhere All at Once has the most potential opportunities to win at the 95th Academy Awards, securing 11 nominations in total, including: Best Picture, Director, Music, Costume Design, and Actress in a Leading Role. (For those who often fall asleep on the couch and could use a few tips to stay awake until the Best Picture award, check out [dips in viewership](https://www.forbes.com/sites/marisadellatto/2022/03/29/oscar-ratings-up-60-from-last-year-but-still-second-worst-ever-final-numbers-show/).

The 2023 Oscars will be streamed live from Dolby Theatre in Los Angeles on March 12 at 8 pm Eastern on ABC. I would recommend Hulu + Live TV for anyone who watches a decent amount of on-demand entertainment alongside their live TV consumption. The Banshees of Inisherin and All Quiet on the Western Front received nine nominations each.
