Whether you opted for Oppenheimer or went bats for Barbie, chances are you've seen a movie you loved in the last year. Now they all go head-to-head in the 96th Academy Award - with titles such as Best Picture, Best Director and Best Song up for grabs.
The nominees for each award have had a little over a month to get excited, so it will be interesting for film fans to watch the thrilled winners, gracious losers and - if 2022's Will Smith/Chris Rock 'slap' incident is anything to go by - possible controversies.
The long-awaited 96th Academy Awards are screening on Sunday (March 10). This year, as always, it will be held at the Dolby Theatre at Ovation Hollywood.
