The 97th Academy Awards have begun. Host Conan O’Brien will balance humor and time-management skills to usher audiences at home through a rich array of categories toasting nearly every aspect of great cinema. (Sorry, stunts!)
This award season has celebrated the sex-worker dramedy Anora, the Vatican-set thriller Conclave, the folk-fueled biopic A Complete Unknown, the post-World War II epic The Brutalist, the bonkers horror comedy The Substance, and many, many more films. Some of these have won Golden Globes, Critics Choice, Indie Spirits, BAFTAS, and guild honors. But tonight, who will go home with the Oscar?
