Press: Everything we know about the 2023 Oscars — including celebrity presenters, performances, pre-shows, and more

Pedro Pascal, Harrison Ford, Halle Berry, and Elizabeth Olsen are just some of the stars who will present at Sunday’s ceremony.

 

Hollywood’s biggest night of the year is almost here.

The 2023 Oscars are just around the corner, and the Academy of Motion Picture Arts and Sciences has announced a few changes to the program following its controversial 2022 broadcast. This time, all 23 categories will be presented live at the event after last year’s decision to pre-tape eight competitive categories sparked backlash from industry professionals. This is also the first Oscars since Will Smith infamously slapped presenter Chris Rock during last year’s ceremony — a moment that has already been referenced in promotional videos for the event.

The Oscars are voted upon by the more than 10,000 members of the Academy of Motion Picture Arts and Sciences over the course of a four-month-long period. Final voting for the 95th Academy Awards is held from March 2 to March 7.

EW has you covered for everything you need to know ahead of the 2023 Oscars, including who’s nominated, who’s performing, and how you can tune in. Find out more below!

When and where are the 2023 Oscars?

This year’s ceremony will be held on Sunday, March 12, at 8 p.m. ET/5 p.m. PT at the Dolby Theatre at Ovation Hollywood in Los Angeles.

How can I watch the awards ceremony?

The 2023 Oscars will air live on ABC. The ceremony will also be available to watch through multiple streaming services (which often offer free trial subscriptions) including Hulu Live TV, YouTube TV, AT&T TV, and FuboTV. You can also visit ABC.com or use the ABC app to watch the ceremony by signing in with your cable provider. If you are viewing outside of the U.S., you can check out the international local listings on the Academy’s website.

Is there a pre-show?

Yes! There will be both a pre-show and an official lead-in broadcast ahead of Sunday’s awards ceremony.

First, ABC News will host On the Red Carpet Live: Countdown to Oscars 95, a pre-show event that airs from 1-4 p.m. ET/10 a.m.-1 p.m. PT on ABC. It will also be available to stream on the ABC News Live website from 1:30 p.m. EDT/10:30 a.m. PDT until the official start of the Oscars.

Then, Ashley Graham, Vanessa Hudgens, and Lilly Singh will join together to host the Countdown to the Oscars lead-in show, which kicks off at 6:30 p.m. ET/3:30 p.m. PT on ABC. The 90-minute special will spotlight the evening’s incredible nominees, performers, and presenters, as well as give fans a behind-the-scenes look at Hollywood’s biggest night.

Who is hosting the 2023 Oscars?

Jimmy Kimmel will return as the host of this year’s Oscars after previously anchoring the show in 2017 (which featured the Moonlight/La La Land debacle) and again in 2018. “Being invited to host the Oscars for a third time is either a great honor or a trap,” the Jimmy Kimmel Live host said in a press statement. “Either way, I am grateful to the Academy for asking me so quickly after everyone good said no.”

In a promotional video ahead of the Academy Awards, Kimmel received his hosting orders from Top Gun: Maverick stars Jon Hamm and Charles Parnell. The pair noted that ABC was looking for someone who was both “unflappable and unslappable,” a nod to Smith striking Rock last year.

Who is nominated at the 2023 Oscars?

A24’s multiversal movie Everything Everywhere All at Once received the most nominations at the Academy Awards with 11 nods, including Best Picture, Best Actress (Michelle Yeoh), Best Supporting Actor (Ke Huy Quan), and Best Supporting Actress (Jamie Lee Curtis and Stephanie Hsu). It is followed closely behind by Martin McDonagh’s drama The Banshees of Inisherin and the German war film All Quiet on the Western Front, which each scored nine nominations.

Other notable nods include Angela Bassett making history by becoming the first Marvel actor to earn a nomination for her performance as Queen Ramonda in Black Panther: Wakanda Forever, as well as everyone in the Best Actor category — which includes Brendan Fraser, Colin Farrell, Paul Mescal, Bill Nighy, and Austin Butler — being first-time nominees. See the full list of 2023 Oscar nominees here.

Who is presenting at the 2023 Oscars?

On Thursday, the Oscars announced that Halle Berry, Paul Dano, Cara Delevingne, Harrison Ford, Kate Hudson, Mindy Kaling, Eva Longoria, Julia Louis-Dreyfus, Andie MacDowell, Elizabeth Olsen, Pedro Pascal, and John Travolta will all present at the awards ceremony.

The event’s final round of presenters join an all-star list that includes Halle Bailey, Antonio Banderas, Elizabeth Banks, Jessica Chastain, John Cho, Andrew Garfield, Hugh Grant, Danai Gurira, Salma Hayek Pinault, Nicole Kidman, Florence Pugh, Sigourney Weaver, Riz Ahmed, Emily Blunt, Glenn Close, Jennifer Connelly, Ariana DeBose, Samuel L. Jackson, Dwayne Johnson, Michael B. Jordan, Troy Kotsur, Jonathan Majors, Melissa McCarthy, Janelle Monáe, Deepika Padukone, Questlove, Zoe Saldaña, and Donnie Yen.

Ahmed previously announced the Oscars’ nominees with actress Allison Williams in January, while Dano, Weaver, and Connelly will perform double duty as presenters whose films are also nominated on the evening. Weaver made a splash in Avatar: The Way of Water — which is nominated for four awards including Best Picture, Best Production Design, and Best Visual Effects — while Connelly starred in Top Gun: Maverick, which is up for six Oscars, including Best Picture, Best Writing (Adapted Screenplay), and Best Visual Effects. Dano is the only presenter that has two films — Steven Spielberg’s The Fabelmans and Matt Reeves’ The Batman — in awards contention this year.

Press: Elizabeth Olsen to Be Honored at Variety’s Power of Women Event

VARIETY: Variety is pleased to announce the honorees for its upcoming Power of Women issue and event on Wednesday, Sept. 28.

“We’re excited to once again put the Power of Women spotlight on groundbreaking and accomplished female leaders,” said Variety’s co-editor-in-chief Cynthia Littleton. “We’re honored to salute those who are making a difference for equity, inclusion and excellence in our industry and making an enormous difference in the wider world through their philanthropic efforts. We’re grateful to Lifetime for their unwavering support of this franchise that is a labor of love for everyone at Variety. This year’s gathering under the stars at the Wallis promises to be another can’t-miss night.”

“We are honored to continue our partnership with Variety to showcase these incredible women that continue to entertain us, enlighten us and empower us,” said Amy Winter, EVP and head of programming, Lifetime & LMN.
