It was a stacked year for Best Picture, with the likes of “Everything Everywhere All at Once,” “Women Talking,” “The Banshees of Inisherin,” “Tar,” “All Quiet on the Western Front,” “The Fabelmans” and “Elvis” facing off – not to mention, more crowd-pleasing hits such as “Top Gun: Maverick” and “Avatar: The Way of Water.” The ceremony was staid, compared to last year’s infamous #SlapGate.

The 2023 Oscars ceremony — held at the Dolby Theatre in Los Angeles — is airing live on ABC and streaming on ABC.com, Hulu Live TV, YouTube TV, AT&T TV and FuboTV.“Everything Everywhere All at Once” seemingly has the most momentum of all nominees, topping this year’s nods with 11 — including Best Picture, Actress in a Leading Role (Michelle Yeoh), Actor in a Supporting Role (Ke Huy Quan) and Actress in a Supporting Role (Jamie Lee Curtis and Stephanie Hsu).

Oscars 2023 have revealed how they’re planning on addressing last year’s incident with Will Smith slapping host Chris Rock.During the 2022 ceremony, Smith stormed the stage and hit Rock, after the comedian made a comment about Jada Pinkett-Smith, who was also in attendance.Following a number of apologies directed towards Rock and the organisers, Smith resigned from the Academy.
