The Nominations For The 2023 Oscars Have Been Announced

Through time, the Oscars have given us some of the biggest pop culture moments in history.

The wrong 'Best Film' winner drama of 2017, for instance. Jennifer Lawrence tripping up on stage to collect her Best Actress gong, Michael Moore's anti-President Bush speech in 2003 and plenty of memorable dresses.

The 2022 Oscars, too, provided plenty of talking points – among them *that* Will Smith slap, Uma Thurman and John Travolta's impromptu dance, Megan Thee Stallon's surprise performance, Ariana DeBose's inspiring speech and CODA taking home the prize for Best Picture.

Ahead of this year's ceremony, we've rounded up all of the information you need to know:

When are the 2023 Oscars?

The 94th Academy Awards will take place in person on March 27, 2022.

The 2021 Oscars were pushed back from February 28 to April 25 due to the pandemic. The stars, from Margot Robbie to Zendaya, took to the red carpet in what was the most business-as-usual awards show we'd seen during awards season.

Until the early 2000s, the Oscars took place in March or April until the Academy moved it forward to a date in February. This year will be the first time the ceremony takes place in March.

In addition to postponing the 2020 event, the BBC reports that the ceremony’s organisers also extended the qualifying window for awards from December 31, 2020 to the end of February 2021.

‘This is a much needed boost for those films who may have been stalled in post-production,’ an Academy member told Variety.

All other major award shows postponed their ceremonies too; the BAFTAs were pushed back to April 11, the Golden Globes to February 28 weeks later than its usual end of January slot, while the SAG Awards were held on April 4.

Who will present at the Oscars?

Actors Wanda Sykes, Amy Schumer, and Regina Hall will co-host the 2022 annual event.

Who has been nominated for an Oscar?

Actors Tracee Ellis Ross and Leslie Jordan announced the nominations for this year's Oscars on February 8, 2022 in the early hours of the morning, at an event held in Los Angeles.

This came after voting for nominations ended on February 1.

Kristen Stewart has received her first Oscar nomination for Best Actress for her portrayal of Princess Diana in Spencer. The actor will go up against Jessica Chastain for biographical drama The Eyes of Tammy Faye, Olivia Colman for psychological thriller The Lost Daughter, Penélope Cruz for tearjerking drama Parallel Mothers and Nicole Kidman for the historical film Being the Ricardos.

Stewart reacted to the news of her nomination in a statement, per Entertainment Tonight, by highlighting the fact she wished she could share the moment with her Spencer director, Pablo Larrain.

'Wow I wish Pablo and I were in the same country today. I wish I could see his face,' Stewart said. 'I am speechless and humbled this morning. I am bowled over by this. I never thought in a thousand years I’d be in the company of these four incredible women.

'I would pay to make movies. I would make them if it was illegal. This is dream state, to share on this level.'

She concluded: 'I am so touched and I am so grateful for the work that was generated on this film. I'm so proud to be a part of our film community. I am so happy. It is a good day.'

Where will the Oscars be held?

The Academy Awards will take place at the Dolby Theatre in Los Angeles.

On the Oscars night in 2021, the main event was in Los Angeles, however there were smaller events also held in London, while Sacha Baron Cohen and Isla Fisher were seen in Sydney, Australia.

'In this unique year that has asked so much of so many, the Academy is determined to present an Oscars like none other, while prioritising the public health and safety of all those who will participate,' a spokesperson told THR.

'To create the in-person show our global audience wants to see, while adapting to the requirements of the pandemic, the ceremony will broadcast live from multiple locations, including the landmark Dolby Theatre.'

Awards ceremonies in 2020 and 2021 featured a blend of pre-taped and live moments in place of live audiences, which is what the Oscars may attempt. The 2020 Emmy's socially-distanced show included footage of winners accepting the awards from their homes while host Jimmy Kimmel ran the proceedings from the Staples Center, audience-free, occasionally joined by the odd celebrity guest at a distance.

Who is presenting the 2022 Oscars?

This is anyone's guess right now, but it's likely the 2022 Oscars will go ahead without a host.

After years of controversial hosts and the job being jokingly referred to as one of the worst to land in Hollywood, the Oscars 2021 continued with its theme of being host-less.

Rather than having one presenter throughout the ceremony, there were a number of stars who presented individual awards and performances instead, with Regina King kicking things off by introducing the ceremony.

On April 12, 2021, the Academy confirmed some of the presenters that would make an appearance: Angela Bassett, Halle Berry, Bong Joon Ho, Don Cheadle, Bryan Cranston, Laura Dern, Harrison Ford, Regina King, Marlee Matlin, Rita Moreno, Joaquin Phoenix, Brad Pitt, Reese Witherspoon, Renée Zellweger and Zendaya.

Who will perform at the 2022 Oscars?

It wouldn't be the Academy Awards without some memorable performances like John Legend and Common's moving 'Glory' number in 2015 or the star-studded Les Miserables performance in 2013 or 2019's hugely talked about rendition of 'Shallows' by Lady Gaga and Bradley Cooper.

At present it's unknown who will play at next year's ceremony.

All of the Best Original Song nominees recorded their performances prior to the 2021 Oscars, including the likes of British singer Celeste, Grammy winner H.E.R, Swedish pop singer Molly Sandén, Laura Pausini and Diane Warren and One Night In Miami... (and Hamilton's) Leslie Odom Jnr.

Last year, Eminem also surprised attendees with his rendition of 'Lose Yourself', resulting in some rather amusing reactions among the audience.

How can I watch the Oscars?

In the UK, the Oscars are usually streamed live on Sky Cinema's dedicated Sky Cinema Oscars channel. NOW TV Sky Cinema Pass holders can normally also watch the proceedings live from the US.

We will continue to update this article as more information comes in.
