The program begins at 4 p.m. — an hour earlier than usual — on ABC with Jimmy Kimmel hosting for the fourth time.Oppenheimer” leads the a group of people who have been nominated for awards with 13 nominations, including Best Picture. The top award looks like it's almost definite to win for Christopher Nolan’s three-hour epic.
In fact, there's not much uncertainty in several categories tonight, except for Best Actress. Front-runners Emma Stone and Lily Gladstone delivered highly praised performances in “Poor Things” and “Killers of the Flower Moon,” respectively. Both won at the Golden Globes when they were nominated separately for comedy and drama. First-time nominee Gladstone appears to have a small advantage, having won at the Screen Actors Guild Awards. If she wins, she'll be the first Native American to receive an acting award from the Academy of Motion Picture Arts and Sciences.
Here are some of the best appearances from the Oscars 2024 red carpet so far:
