The legendary stage and screen star appeared at the 94th annual Academy Awards alongside Lady Gaga, who was pegged to present the award for Best Picture. Minnelli, who was dressed in an all-black look, that featured just a pop of pink, sat in a wheelchair as she helped Gaga, who brought the glam in a fitted tuxedo, read out the nominees.While Minnelli, who has struggled with several illnesses over the years, including viral encephalitis, had trouble announcing the winner, Gaga was by her side to help, sweetly telling the  performer, «I got you,» before presenting the Best Picture win to .Lady Gaga whispering “I got you” to Liza Minnelli… Best Picture indeed #Oscarspic.twitter.com/8ykQcd1q71In January, ET spoke to Minnelli and her sister, Lorna Luft, about their late mother, Judy Garland, and the legacy she left behind.«She was so funny.

After a long and predictably fraught journey, Oscar season finally came to an end tonight in a wild ceremony hosted by Regina Hall, Wanda Sikes, and Amy Schumer. In an effort to attract more viewers and make more time for “entertainment,” as Oscar producer Will Packer put it, the show cut eight categories from the main broadcast.

The film also hauled in a gold statuette for Best Adapted Screenplay. The sweet coming-of-age family drama — starring Kotsur, Emilia Jones, Marlee Matlin and Daniel Durant — beat out and .'s win is historic, marking the first film to star a predominantly deaf cast to ever earn the Oscar's top honor.

However, while the critically acclaimed film — which memorably unleashed the power of the dong with on-screen full-frontal male nudity — did score a slew of awards before the Oscars, it was not nominated for a Screen Actors Guild Award for best ensemble, which is typically a reliable predictor of a Best Picture win.“Dog” did win best picture in the drama category at the controversy-ridden Golden Globes, which did not air after embarrassing public backlash, alongside “West Side Story,” which was top dog in the musical category.While given seven nods, Steven Spielberg’s updated “West Side Story” hardly shared the same success as the 1961 original, which took home more Oscars than any other musical has.

Tim Gray Senior Vice PresidentFor 94 years, the Academy Awards have honored the best in filmmaking. They have also served as a time capsule reflecting what was going on in the world and/or in the entertainment industry each year. In the 21st century, Oscar has lost much of its TV audience, but the name recognition remains as strong as ever.The Academy of Motion Picture Arts and Sciences handed out their first awards in 1929, with winners announced in advance.

“The Power of the Dog” has been the talk of Tinseltown ever since it debuted last fall, but to the masses it may still be something of an enigma. It’s the first film from Oscar-winning “The Piano” and “Bright Star” filmmaker Jane Campion in over a decade, and boasts Oscar-nominated performances from the likes of Benedict Cumberbatch, Kirsten Dunst, Jesse Plemons and Kodi Smit-McPhee.With the film poised to be a major presence at Sundays Oscars, you may be wondering what it’s about and where to watch it.

The Oscars will be airing on Sunday night and there are 10 movies nominated for Best Picture this year!

EXCLUSIVE: Given how late the Oscars are this year on March 27, and how Covid held older adults back from attending cinemas, an Oscar halo effect was never expected to take place at the domestic box office for Best Picture nominees.

Movie magic! The Academy Awards are known for shining a spotlight on the biggest films of the year — and the 2022 Oscars Best Picture nominees are no exception.

The show will go on. And this time, it’s the real thing. After a dramatically scaled-down and virus-safe ceremony last year, the Academy Awards will be presented in a largely prepandemic format this Sunday.That means stars.That means style.

The Academy Awards are nearly upon us.

to host a poll of the last 10 years of Oscar Best Picture winners. The poll was designed both to show which of the past decade’s winners is the favorite, and to illustrate how the Oscars’ ranked-choice (or preferential) system of vote counting works in the Best Picture category.And now, as Oscar voting is closing, here are the results. The answer to which film is the favorite is simple: “Parasite.” Bong Joon Ho’s South Korean film that won the Oscar in 2020, is by far the favorite of the 270 people who participated in the poll.

The Academy doesn’t always get it right.

94th Annual Academy Awards are Sunday, and that means it's time to name the best of the best of the past year in film. While not quite as chaotic as last year's pandemic-altered releases, this year still offered an interesting mix of theatrical blockbusters, acclaimed streamers and some combination of the two (thanks, HBO Max!). The top films of the year span the cinematic spectrum as well, including a Western, a musical, a star-studded satire, a horror-noir, a Japanese road film and a handful of heartfelt family dramas, leaving voters with some big decisions to make when it comes to the Academy's biggest prizes. So, who will win? Here are ET's predictions for the 2022 Oscars, based on who's been winning with the guilds, the BAFTAs and other precursor awards shows, as well as the ebb and flow of recent film trends.

CODA is on a roll this final weekend of Oscar voting (Ballots are due at 5:00pm pt on Tuesday) , getting a major shot of adrenaline by taking the PGA’s top Best Picture prize, and now just picking up the WGA award for Adapted Screenplay today. If you are counting that now gives it a solid three of the four major guild (DGA, PGA, SAG, WGA) honors to put itself in a strong position going into the last stop of this long season, the Oscars next Sunday. What this one-two-three punch will mean to the ongoing Oscar balloting is anyone’s guess, but the headlines of these major peer group wins from groups that definitely have some significant crossover with Academy membership will be hard to ignore.
