\nEvery year since 1929, the Academy has nominated several talented women for Best Actress and then crowned their favorite with an Oscar. To be nominated is a career achievement. To win the top prize is to become a Hollywood legend. So woe to the fool who wants to sift through those wonderful Oscar-winning roles and then presume to separate the staggering and stupendous from the merely excellent.\n

\n

\nWe are those fools. The writers and editors of Entertainment Weekly selected and ranked the 25 greatest Best Actress winners of all time. If you're quick at math, then you already know that over 75 Best Actress winners didn't make the list. Like we said, fools.\n

\nCabaret (1972), directed by Bob Fosse\n

\n

\nLiza Minnelli brings hyperbolic joie de vivre and outrageous eye makeup to her career-defining turn as \"strange and extraordinary\" American chanteuse Sally Bowles, the showstopping performer at Berlin's taboo-shattering Kit Kat Klub. Minnelli is never less than dazzling, belting out show tunes in Bob Fosse's Weimar-set screen musical, but she's just as mesmerizing in the scenes outside the club in which she must navigate unexpected complications arising from a romantic triangle and the ascendancy of the Third Reich. In the harsher light of day, it's easier to see the way her relentless exuberance and her wildly theatrical flamboyance mask a quaking vulnerability. Minnelli lends her powerful voice to help Sally sing her way through the pain. \u2014Gina McIntyre\n

\nThe Rose Tattoo (1955), directed by Daniel Mann\n

\n

\nAccording to legend, Tennessee Williams wrote this role specifically for Italian icon Anna Magnani as her first major role in an English-language film. Whether or not that's true is now probably beside the point. It feels true. As Serafina Della Rose, a seamstress and mother who becomes unmoored when her husband is killed and rumors circulate that he had been unfaithful, Magnani delivers one of the most dynamic performances of her era. On the page, Serafina is an archetypical Williams heroine\u2014a woman who feels the world too deeply and is therefore brutalized by its harsh truths and petty cruelties (e.g. Maggie the Cat, Blanche DuBois, Amanda Wingfield). But Magnani elevates Serafina into a lightning storm of rage, sorrow, and vengeance. As she seeks out her husband's alleged mistress, confronts her teenage daughter's resentment, and grapples with a not-very-bright new suitor (Burt Lancaster), Magnani unleashes a torrent of emotional fire and brimstone that, in lesser hands, would border on camp. In hers, it is a tour de force. \u2014Sean Smith\n

\nThe Heiress (1949), directed by William Wyler\n

\n

\nThree years after winning Best Actress for the To Each His Own (and a decade from her first nomination, for Gone With the Wind) Olivia de Havilland discovered her own greatest performance when she saw the Broadway play The Heiress, based on Henry James' novella, Washington Square. By intermission, she knew that she needed to play the lead role of Catherine Sloper, a lumpy dull charisma-void spinster. Though the role required sacrificing vanity, when Catherine's father (Ralph Richardson) destroys her chances to marry a gold-digger (Montgomery Clift), the double betrayal transforms the shy woman into an iron maiden. And de Havilland's implosive final scene, in which she coldly speaks of \"the same lies, the same little phrases\" she's heard all her life, could also be viewed as a feminist call to arms, as well as an indictment of the falseness and cruelty of Hollywood. \u2014Joe McGovern\n

\nMary Poppins (1964), directed by Robert Stevenson\n

\n

\nMuch is made of the iconography of the character of Mary Poppins\u2014one of cinema's most famous hyperbole be darned\u2014but perhaps not enough is owed to how Julie Andrews, on the cusp of 30, simultaneously brought green charisma and decades of wisdom to the magical practical nanny. Andrews' nuanced design of P.L. Travers' creation is an astute, mellifluous, and delightfully intimidating creature of talent and propriety\u2014and as the world would realize, so, too, was Andrews. \u2014Marc Snetiker\n

\nStill Alice (2014), directed by Richard Glatzer and Wash Westmoreland\n

\n

\nWords slowly, and then quickly, fail Julianne Moore's Alice Howland, a linguistics professor and mother of three adult children suffering the heartbreaking effects of early-onset Alzheimer's disease. But Moore doesn't need words to convey the fear as the disease advances, like the terror in her eyes as this whip-smart woman goes for a neighborhood jog and suddenly has no idea where she is. Alice loses her memories and her independence piece by piece, but Moore never crashes into melodrama. It's a devastating performance, as Alice grasps desperately to keep semblances of herself intact as her mind betrays her. \u2014Jessica Derschowitz\n

\n
\n
\n

\nThe Silence of the Lambs (1991), directed by Jonathan Demme\n

\n

\nAnthony Hopkins is more celebrated for his more showy performance as cannibal psychiatrist Dr. Hannibal Lecter, but it's Jodie Foster as the rookie FBI agent who drives the almost unbearably intense thriller. Her riveting jail-cell jousts with Lecter are a master's class in acting that she aces, though her most awe-inspiring work comes in the climax, in which Clarice is trapped in serial killer Buffalo Bill's basement. Eyes wide, panting near panic, Foster perfectly captures the audience's own fear of being alone in the dark with a monster. \u2014Tim Stack\n

\n

\nGaslight (1944), directed by George Cukor\n

\n

\nAt the center of one of the best, and most unnerving, psychological thrillers ever made, Ingrid Bergman stars as Paula Alquist, a young bride who is slowly, methodically manipulated by her new husband (Charles Boyer) into believing that she is going mad. Bergman, then in her late 20s, landed her first Oscar for this intricate, layered, and deeply controlled performance of a bright young woman unraveling before her own, and our, eyes. Bergman's brilliance lies in her ability to project, in just a few early scenes, Paula's intelligence and stability, so that her growing terror as she loses her ability to trust her own mind mirrors our own. In each scene, Bergman makes such subtle, incremental adjustments to Paula's demeanor that her descent into \"madness\" feels, by the climax, both inevitable and, to our horror, utterly believable. \u2014Sean Smith\n

\n

\nMisery (1990), directed by Rob Reiner\n

\n

\nDirty birdies don't come much dirtier than Annie, the lonely, handy-with-a-sledgehammer psychopath whom Kathy Bates miraculously imbued with sweet humor and pathos\u2014even as she kidnapped and tortured her favorite author. Memorably dowdy fashion notwithstanding, the juicy role\u2014part Nurse Ratched, part Jack Torrence\u2014launched Bates into the Hollywood ether following years of false starts. Three more Oscar nominations\u2014and safe passage on the Titanic\u2014followed, but it's still the actress' charming delivery of the script's chilling avowals\u2014\"I'm your number one fan!\"\u2014that has the power to bring a person to his knees.

\nLa Vie en Rose (2007), directed by Olivier Dahan\n

\n

\nIn the decades-spanning biopic about legendary French songstress \u00c9dith Piaf, 31-year-old Marion Cotillard transforms into a convincing teenaged busker, world-famous cabaret singer, and aging, arthritic morphine addict. It's a deeply emotional journey, especially when her love dies in a plane crash\u2014it's like you can see her heart shatter right before your eyes. Also emotional, sometimes spirited and other times melancholy, are the songs, which Cotillard lip-synched. No matter\u2014she still tapped into a deep reservoir of passion for the music, like in the final reflective number, \"Non, Je Ne Regrette Rien.\" It's an indelible portrait of a woman, a fighter from the beginning to the end, who never separated her life from her art. \u2014C.

\n
\n

\nThe Piano (1993), directed by Jane Campion\n

\n

\nIt's the kind of role that could lead to actorly histrionics: Ada is a mute woman who communicates via piano, in the remote wilderness, caught in a triangle between a civilized man (Sam Neill) and a poetical barbarian (Harvey Keitel). But in the role that won her a Best Actress Oscar, Holly Hunter reveals the sound of her character's soul with the barest of physical motions. The actress learned sign language and piano-playing for the role, Method-y affectations that explain the craftsmanlike lived-in quality of the performance. But the genius of Hunter here is how she makes Ada both mysterious and an open book\u2014an unknowable enigma who becomes our eyes (and ears) examining the desperate strangeness of the human heart. \u2014Darren Franich\n

\nOne Flew Over The Cuckoo's Nest (1975), directed by Milos Forman\n

\n

\nThe secret to playing a villain, actors often say, is not to play them as a villain. Everyone believes themselves to be the hero of their own story, and that is most definitely true of Louise Fletcher's Nurse Ratched, the all-business queen bee of the mental institute who just wants Jack Nicholson's authority-bucking R.P. McMurphy to get with the program. But, right from the start, there is something a little too kindly, a little too soft-spoken about her, hints of the controlling mania simmering beneath the starched white uniform. It comes as no surprise to the audience when she shows her true terrible colors, but the genius of Fletcher's performance is that you know Ratched doesn't believe them to be terrible at all. \u2014Clark Collis\n

\nBlue Jasmine (2013), directed by Woody Allen\n

\n

\nWoody Allen clipped his Jasmine out of the pages of Tennessee Williams, but Cate Blanchett's commanding performance is more than just a well-crafted homage to the delusional Blanche DuBois. Slumming with her sister in San Francisco after her life with her Madoff-like ex in New York implodes, Jasmine isn't quite willing to let go of the affectations that come with living in high society. Blanchett's depiction of a woman coming undone is an all-timer: she's hilarious, she's loathsome, she's heartbreaking. It's jaw-dropping work, crystallized in the film's final scene: drenched and alone, a broken Jasmine sits on a park bench, talking to the only friend she has left. \u2014Jonathon Dornbush\n

\nHud (1963), directed by Martin Ritt\n

\n

\nPart of the reason Patricia Neal's role opposite Paul Newman's cowboy cad is branded on fans' brains\u2014despite only about 20 minutes of screen time\u2014is because she never seems to be acting. Which is, of course, always the goal for any actor. But even Newman is acting. Neal is just bein'. You can't take your eyes off the easygoing but slightly besmudged Alma because Neal is so authentic as to actually diminish her co-stars\u2014an admittedly odd compliment. She tells Hud she's a good poker player, and Neal is too, showing only as much as she needs. Every line is a dart. Every delivery has a potent subtext. There's absolutely nothing another actor can learn from watching Neal in Hud. She's that good. \u2014Jeff Labrecque\n

\nKlute (1971), directed by Alan Pakula\n

\n

\nThe title belongs to Donald Sutherland's nearly affectless private detective, John Klute, but the movie is all Jane Fonda's. As Bree Daniels, a high-class call girl and aspiring actress possibly marked for murder, she's tough but vulnerable, streetwise but aching for approval. The whole thing couldn't be more '70s if it were rolled up in a shag carpet and wrapped in macram\u00e9\u2014there's endlessly groovy talk of sexual kinks and personality crises, and Bree's mod bra-less wardrobe is justly famous. There's real grit underneath the shag haircut and thigh-high boots, though; see the discotheque scene, where her entire body vibrates with a desperate mix of hope, terror, and determination. Fonda would be nominated five more times and win again, for 1978's Vietnam-vet drama Coming Home, but Klute is the one that cemented her as not just her father's daughter or a youthquake sex kitten, but a mesmerizing star in her own right. \u2014Leah Greenblatt\n

\n
\n

\nTerms of Endearment (1983), directed by James L. Brooks\n

\n

\nThe sight of a distraught mother at the hospital where her daughter lays dying is expected to induce tears under normal circumstances. But Shirley MacLaine takes things to a whole other level when Aurora\u2014who audiences could be forgiven for initially dismissing as a vapid and self-absorbed mother\u2014takes our heartstrings and refuses to let go. Cancer-stricken Emma (Debra Winger), suffering and near the end, is in pain, and MacLaine's anguished losing-it at the useless nurses is as mama-bear primal as anything ever put on film. Within a movie full of Kleenex moments, this is the big one. \u2014Sara Vilkomerson\n

\n

\nIt Happened One Night (1934), directed by Frank Capra\n

\n

\nThe great American screwball heroine. Socialite-on-the-run Ellie is equal parts disreputably decadent and spunky-cool, the perfect love-hate match for Clark Gable's sozzled cynic reporter. Claudette Colbert was a big star in the Hollywood Golden Age, and she had a long career, earning a Tony in the '50s and an Emmy nod in the '80s. But nothing can match her performance in It Happened One Night for sheer funny-sensual energy. The \"hitchhiking\" scene should seem old-fashioned to our modern debased sensibility\u2014a lady's bare leg, gosh!\u2014but 80 years later, you can still feel how Colbert injects the scene with puckish transgression. \u2014Darren Franich\n

\nJezebel (1938), directed by William Wyler\n

\n

\nBette Davis may have had more iconic roles during her illustrious career, but her turn as a headstrong Southern belle in Jezebel stands out as one of Hollywood's earliest feminist-leaning heroes. In character as a free spirit who scorns social convention, Davis is all haughty tosses of the head and sneering lines. But then comes Julie's ultimate display of impulsive rebellion\u2014in that unforgettable ball scene, when she arrives wearing a vampy dark dress\u2014and Davis shifts gears, moving swiftly from spunky and spirited to shrinking and thoroughly shamed. It's a transformation that unfolds in a matter of moments, showcasing her range from imperious to empathetic. \u2014Nina Terrero\n

\nFargo (1996), directed by Joel and Ethan Coen\n

\n

\n\"I'm not sure I agree 100 percent with your police work, there, Lou.\" No single line embodies both the overflowing kindness and fierce competence of small-town Brainerd's chief of police, Marge Gunderson. She's talking to a colleague who has misread a bloody snowbound crime scene, but she leaves her gloves on. The world is cold enough. In a movie that skewers the concept of \"Minnesota nice,\" Marge is the real deal. She has a razor intellect belied by her jaunty folksy Midwestern accent, dontchaknow, but she doesn't turn that blade on anyone except the wrongdoers who deserve it. We see the worst of human nature in Fargo, as William H. Macy's Jerry Lundegaard plots his own wife's kidnapping to raise ransom money for a parking lot investment, and as one scumbag willing to do such a rotten deed feeds his deceased partner into a wood-chipper, but Frances McDormand's Marge is the emotional center that carries us through as safely and snugly as that baby who's nestled inside her. \u2014Anthony Breznican\n

Woody Allen is at his manic, self-flagellating best (the film would also go on to win Best Picture, Best Director, and Best Original Screenplay), but it's Diane Keaton\u2014with her loopy mannerisms, jazz-club serenades, and endlessly imitated fashion sense\u2014who gives Annie Hall its sweetly beating heart. \u2014Leah Greenblatt\n

\n

\nKimberly Peirce's haunting true-life portrait of Brandon Teena was far from Hilary Swank's first role. The actress had appeared in television and had previously been heralded as The Next Karate Kid, but her performance in Boys Don't Cry is one of the boldest breakthroughs ever captured on film. With her complete transformation and inhabiting of a transgender character, Swank went from near obscurity to an acclaimed actress that demanded the industry's attention. Everyone expected to see her up on the Oscars stage again sometime soon, and they were right. \u2014Kevin P. Sullivan\n

\nMildred Pierce (1945), directed by Michael Curtiz\n

\n

\nIs Mildred Pierce a film noir? A women's picture? Yes, and yes. But it's also a masochistic march through the stations of the cross for Joan Crawford's stoic hero as she suffers through a failed first marriage, a playboy second husband, and a spoiled ingrate daughter from hell. Viewed through our 21st-century lens, Crawford's performance (those shoulder pads!) can seem like it's teetering on the edge of camp. After all, it's hard to watch her and not see the long shadow cast by Mommie Dearest. But for its time, Mildred Pierce's self-made brand of feminism was undeniably revolutionary. Crawford was always an underrated actress, but there's something about playing such an underestimated up-by-her-bootstraps woman in Michael Curtiz's film that liberates her to be better than she ever was before and better than she ever would be again. \u2014Chris Nashawaty\n

\nGone With The Wind (1939), directed by Victor Fleming\n

\n

\nThe most iconic Southerner in American history was played by a Brit\u2014and one who almost didn't get the part. Producer David Selznick launched a nationwide casting search for the role of Margaret Mitchell's resilient heroine, and Tallulah Bankhead, Lana Turner, and Paulette Goddard all screen-tested. In the end, it went to the relatively unknown Vivien Leigh, who tapped into all aspects of Scarlett O'Hara's complicated personality. Scarlett is all at once petty, brave, selfish, resourceful, devious, and resilient, and Leigh's multi-layered portrayal makes you feel both scorn and sympathy for the legendary Southern belle. \u2014Devan Coggan\n

\nWho's Afraid of Virginia Woolf? (1966), directed by Mike Nichols\n

\n

\nElizabeth Taylor won her second Academy Award blowing up the ing\u00e9nue image minted in her Oscar winning-turn in Butterfield 8. She reportedly gained 30 pounds to play the much-older Martha, a volcanically caustic and soused woman who mercilessly humiliates her miserable husband George (Richard Burton) through their cruel emotional games that have a deeper, sadder purpose than mere bitter ball-busting. What she accomplishes under the direction of Nichols (his first film) in this adaptation of Edward Albee's acclaimed play owes much to her turbulent relationship with then-husband Burton. By playing against image, by glamming down and going raw, Taylor helped forge the modern template for so many Oscar-winning performances that followed her. \u2014Jeff Jensen\n

\nA Streetcar Named Desire (1951), directed by Elia Kazan\n

\n

\nTennessee Williams' Streetcar Desire documents the tragic mental deterioration of Blanche DuBois, a fading Southern belle who moves to New Orleans to join her sister and her brutish brother-in-law. That said tortured belle is played by Vivien Leigh, who also breathed life into Scarlett O'Hara, is one of Hollywood's most poetic twists of fate. Leigh used every moment, every expression, to tell Blanche's story and to illustrate her torment, her delusion, and her desire for affection. And when her brother-in-law, Stanley (Marlon Brando) finally rapes her, her descent into madness was made all the more vivid and believable by Leigh's precise depiction of vulnerability and instability. \u2014Samantha Highfill\n

\nSophie's Choice (1982), directed by Alan Pakula\n

\n

\nIn Sophie's Choice, Meryl Streep's performance as a Polish survivor of the Holocaust is so beautifully shaded, so infused with every element of her character's light and darkness, that the mere feat of her mastering two full languages\u2014she learned to speak both Polish and German for the part\u2014almost seems like an afterthought. She's luminous; she's haunted. And then there's \"the choice\" when she's forced to make an impossible decision. Novelist William Styron wrote that \"tormented angels never screeched so loudly above hell's pandemonium\" when he described Sophie's reaction to the dilemma, but Streep's interpretation is different: a silent scream, while a Nazi officer makes off with her crying daughter. Streep took what could have been a one-note tragedy and turned it into one of the most transcendent, affecting portrayals ever committed to film. \u2014Leah Greenblatt\n

\n The 95th Academy Awards definitely wasn\u2019t like last year\u2019s ceremony \u2013 and for that, the people behind the scenes are probably breathing a sigh of relief.\n

\n\n

\n After \u201cthe slap,\u201d the Academy instituted a crisis team that was on hand to make sure things didn\u2019t get out of hand.\n

\n\n

\n But Sunday night was devoid of that type of drama \u2013 and of many surprises.\n

\n\n

\n As expected, \u201cEverything Everywhere All at Once\u201d was a big winner, taking home the awards for best actress, supporting actor and actress, best original screenplay, best picture and best directing categories.\n

\n\n

\n Brendan Fraser bested Austin Butler for best actor, which wasn\u2019t exactly an upset as they were both leading contenders.\n

\n\n

\n The closest thing that came to a shocker was Sarah Polley\u2019s win for best-adapted screenplay for \u201cWomen Talking,\u201d a small film that felt very much the David that beat out the Goliath of a blockbuster, \u201cTop Gun: Maverick,\u201d in the category.\n

\n All of this meant the show was allowed to let the talent and their heartfelt speeches shine. \n

\n\n

\n From Ruth E. Carter, who paid tribute to her centenarian mother who recently passed away as she became the first Black woman to be awarded two Oscars with her best costume design win for \u201cBlack Panther: Wakanda Forever,\u201d to Daniel Kwan admitting to feeling imposter syndrome with his wins as co-director and co-writer of \u201cEverything Everywhere All at Once.\u201d\n

\n\n

\n Even the humor seemed to flow without much controversy, even if Kimmel did throw in a dad-type joke here and there. \n

\n It felt like a throwback to an era where the ceremony celebrated the art and artists minus the moments that go viral for the wrong reasons. \n

\n\n

\n It will remain to be seen if such positivity was a positive for the ratings. \n

\n\n

\n The film\u2019s producer, Jonathan Wang, began the speech by saying, \u201cTo my brilliant and beautiful wife, if all the shiny stuff and tuxedos goes away I would love to do taxes and laundry with you for the rest of my life.\u201d \n

\n\n \n\n

\n Daniel Kwan, one of the directors, also spoke: \n

\n\n

\n\t \u201cOne of the best things we can do for each other is shelter each other from the chaos of this crazy world we live in. Thank you to the storytellers here who did that for me. The world is changing rapidly and I fear that our stories are not keeping at pace. Sometimes it\u2019s a little scary knowing that movies move at the rate of years in the world when the internet is moving at the rate of milliseconds. But I have great faith in our stories, these stories have changed my life and they have done that for generations and I know that we will get through this.\u201d\n

\n John Travolta had two dear friends included in the \u201cIn Memoriam\u201d portion of the Academy Awards so it makes sense that it made him emotional.\n

\n\n

\n\t\u201cIn this industry, we have the rare luxury of doing what we love for a living,\u201d he said. And sometimes getting to do it with people we come to love.\u201d \n

\n

\n He went on to say they would be celebrating those who \u201ctouched our hearts, they made us smile, and became dear friends.\u201d\n

\n\n

\n \u201cWho we will always remain hopelessly devoted to,\u201d Travolta said tearfully.\n

\n\n

\n That was a reference to his friend and \u201cGrease\u201d costar Olivia Newton-John who died in August after multiple bouts of cancer. She was 73. \n

\n\n

\n His friend and \u201cLook Who\u2019s Talking\u201d costar Kirstie Alley died in December at the age of 71 after a brief bout of cancer.\n

\n In the days leading up to the ceremony, a petition garnered tens of thousands of signatures calling for his removal as a presenter, citing his connections to China\u2019s ruling Communist Party.\n

\n Awards shows are often the place where celebrities look to make a social or political statement, and the Academy Awards is no different.\n

\n\n

\n\n

\n \u201cBest thing about the #Oscars tonight? The stars rocking our blue ribbons on the red carpet,\u201d the tweet read. \u201cRT if you stand #WithRefugees too, no matter who they are, or where they come from.\u201d\n

\n\n

\n\t\u201cShe endures. She loves. She overcomes,\u201d Carter said. \u201cShe is every woman in this film. She is my mother. This week Mabel Carter became an ancestor.\u201d\n

\n\n

\n Jenny, the adorable donkey who fatefully appeared in the film \u201cThe Banshees of Inisherin,\u201d was brought on stage by host Jimmy Kimmel, who said that in addition to being a performer, Jenny was a \u201ccertified emotional support donkey.\u201d \n

\n\n

\n At least, Kimmel said, that\u2019s what they told the airline to get Jenny to Los Angeles for the awards show.\n

\n\n

\n The film was not without controversy, as one of its most-discussed features was the fat suit Fraser wears to portray a 600-pound character. While some critics found the performance highly empathetic, others said the film was fatphobic.\n

\n\n

\n While Cruise\u2019s blockbuster \u201cTop Gun: Maverick\u201d is nominated for best film, Deadline reported the star was skipping the show because of work. \n

\n\n

\n Meanwhile, Kimmel mentioned there was some speculation that Cameron sat this one out because he had not been nominated in the directing category for \u201cAvatar: The Way of Water,\u201d which is also nominated for best film. \n

\n\n

\n \u201cAvatar\u201d producer Jon Landau said on the red carpet (which was really champagne-colored) that Cameron was not coming for \u201cpersonal reasons.\u201d \n

\n Michelle Yeoh was among the night\u2019s best-dressed celebrities in a white-feathered Dior gown, while James Hong arrived on the champagne-colored carpet wearing one of the night\u2019s boldest accessory: a blue bowtie adorned with \u2014 in a nod to the film \u2014 a pair of googly eyes.\n

\n Pedro Pascal appeared on the pre-Oscars red carpet coverage on ABC, where host Ashley Graham asked the \u201cLast of Us\u201d star if he\u2019d seen all the TikToks about him.\n

\n\n

\n \u201cLift Me Up\u201d was co-written by Rihanna, Tems, Ludwig G\u00f6ransson and the film\u2019s director Ryan Coogler. The ballad is nominated for best original song at this year\u2019s Oscars, marking Rihanna\u2019s first-ever Academy Award nomination.\n

\n\n

\n It\u2019s already been a huge year for Rihanna. Earlier this month, the nine-time Grammy-winner\u00a0announced\u00a0she\u2019s expecting another child with rapper A$AP Rocky following the Super Bowl, where she performed live for the first time in seven years.\n

\n\n

\n \u201cLove and support compounded,\u201d she said. \u201cCompounded, compounded, compounded. I\u2019ve felt it with me this entire journey. It\u2019s been wonderful.\u201d \n

\n Angela Bassett\u2019s powerful performance as Queen Ramonda in the \u201cBlack Panther\u201d sequel \u201cBlack Panther: Wakanda Forever\u201d earned her a best supporting actress nomination for the 95th Academy Awards.\n

\n\n

\n While it was not her first nomination (Bassett received a best actress nomination for her portrayal of Tina Turner in 1993\u2019s biopic \u201cWhat\u2019s Love Got to Do With It?\u201d), the news did mark a few firsts: The nod made her the first person of color, the first woman and the first Marvel Studios actor to be nominated for a performance in a comic book adaptation.\n

\n\n

\n\t\u201cThis morning is a little extra special in the Bassett Vance household with news of my Oscar nomination,\u201d Bassett said in a statement to CNN. \u201cWhat has drawn me to each of the women I\u2019ve portrayed throughout my career is their strength, compassion, resilience, and power. Wakanda Forever\u2019s Queen Ramonda is a character that touched my spirit because she is a mother and a leader who must care for her grieving nation as much as she cares for her family in mourning. Ramonda is a love letter that reflects and acknowledges what we women do everyday.\u201d\n

\n

\n Earlier this month, Bassett\u00a0took home a Golden Globe\u00a0for the same role.\n

\n Jimmy Kimmel will return to host the Academy Awards for a third time, according to the Academy of Motion Picture Arts and Sciences. In a recent interview ahead of the big night, Kimmel said he\u2019s ready for anything.\n

\n\n

\n\t\u201cBeing invited to host the Oscars for a third time is either a great honor or a trap,\u201d Kimmel said jokingly in a statement. \u201cEither way, I am grateful to the Academy for asking me so quickly after everyone good said no.\u201d\n

\n

\n As for what we can expect from Kimmel this year?\n

\n\n

\n He said it\u2019s simple \u2013 he\u2019ll tell jokes.\n

\n\n

\n\t\u201cI don\u2019t have a lot of talents, so there\u2019s not a huge number of areas for me to draw from outside of telling jokes,\u201d he said. \u201cI mean, I am pretty good at drawing cartoons, so I guess I could sit down and do caricatures of the stars?\u201d\n

\n

\n \u201cThe best advice I got about hosting the Oscars was from Billy Crystal, who told me, \u2018Play to the room,\u2019\u201d Kimmel added. \u201cYou always have to be conscious of the audience at home and make sure they understand what\u2019s going on, but you also want to get laughs in the room \u2014 and if you don\u2019t get that, it\u2019s not going to play well for people watching on TV.\u201d\n

\n\n

\n Kimmel previously helmed the ceremony in 2017 and 2018. His last foray into hosting the awards show was memorable for the infamous \u201cLa La Land\u201d and \u201cMoonlight\u201d Best Picture mix-up.\n

\n\n

\n Variety was the first to report that despite earlier reports that Gaga would be skipping the awards show because of being busy with her starring role in \u201cJoker: Folie \u00e0 Deux,\u201d the Oscar-winning singer (for best original song in 2019 for her hit \u201cShallow\u201d with Bradley Cooper\u201d from \u201cA Star Is Born\u201d) will be taking to the stage on Hollywood\u2019s biggest night.\n

\n\n

\n The other best original song nominees, Rihanna (\u201cLift Me Up\u201d from \u201cBlack Panther: Wakanda Forever\u201d), Sofia Carson and Diane Warren (\u201cApplause\u201d from \u201cTell It Like a Woman\u201d), Stephanie Hsu, David Byrne and Son Lux (\u201cThis Is a Life\u201d from \u201cEverything Everywhere All at Once\u201d) and Rahul Sipligunj and Kaala Bhairava (\u201cNaatu Naatu\u201d from \u201cRRR\u201d) are also expected to perform, according to Variety. \n

\n It may be a favorite to take best film this year, but one of the directors of \u201cEverything Everywhere All at Once\u201d is beseeching fans to show some grace, regardless of the outcome.\n

\n\n

\n Daniel Kwan, who along with Daniel Scheinert\u00a0is nominated in the best director category for the film, posted a series of tweets Saturday on his verified Twitter account which began:\n

\n\n

\n\t \u201cIt has been exactly one year since our film premiered at SXSW. I tried (and failed) to sum up all of my feelings in a far too sincere instagram post you can go and find if you\u2019re curious (or bored).\u201d
\u201cI\u2019m probably going to take a break from social media for after tomorrow,\u201d he tweeted. \u201cThe last thing I ask of any fans of our film is to be gracious and kind tomorrow, especially if we don\u2019t pick up awards that you might have felt we deserved.\u201d\n

\n

\n While noting that he loves \u201cevery one of the films we are up against for different reasons\u201d he added:\n

\n\n \n\n

\n Kwan also took a playful swipe at the critics who have been less supportive.\n

\n\n

\n \u201cP.S. to the people who hate the film with their entire being: I\u2019m sorry we ruined cinema for you forever,\u201d he tweeted. \u201cI hope we can make it up to you on the next one <3.\u201d \n

\n
\n \n
\n\n\n

\n The red carpet is ancient \u2013 literally. \n

\n\n

\n The first reference dates back to 458 BC when Greek playwright Aeschylus wrote of a crimson-embroidered path laid by Clytemnestra for her husband Agamemnon to follow on his return from war. \n

\n\n

\n Nice gesture? Far from it. Both had been having affairs, but Clytemnestra didn\u2019t take kindly to her husband bringing his lover back with him. Also, Agamemnon had sacrificed their daughter in a deal with the gods. \n

\n\n

\n The red carpet led into their home, and to Agamemnon being murdered, either by his wife or her lover (accounts vary). \n

\n\n

\n So, the red carpet has bloodthirsty origins. To learn more about how it became adopted by Hollywood, watch the video or read the story on CNN Style.\n

\n The\u00a0Oscars\u00a0have never been exactly predictable, but Hollywood\u2019s biggest night used to consistently reward crowdpleasers. But over the last two decades, the Oscars have largely avoided rewarding the blockbuster films that once dominated the awards. \n

\n\n

\n Earning a nomination \u2013 and eventually winning \u2013 an Oscar is no easy feat, and many of the biggest box office smashes of the year don\u2019t stand a chance at best picture. And if they\u00a0are\u00a0nominated, like\u00a0\u201cAvatar: The Way of Water,\u201d\u00a0awards prognosticators\u00a0don\u2019t\u00a0expect\u00a0them\u00a0to win.\n

\n\n

\n Here\u2019s why, according to experts in film and award shows:\n

\n\n

\n Best picture voting doesn\u2019t reward risks: For every Oscar category except best picture, the nominee with the most votes wins. But\u00a0Academy members use a preferential ballot\u00a0when voting for the top prize, ranking the nominees in their preferred order. Ballots are whittled down and films are knocked out until one film ranked consistently high across a multitude of ballots remains. Polarizing films have a harder time winning best picture with this system.\n

\n\n

\n Blockbusters have changed: It\u2019s not that Oscars voters are anti-blockbuster \u2013 it\u2019s just that blockbusters today are less original fare than the likes of \u201cE.T.\u201d and \u201cTitanic.\u201d Instead, there are more sequels, reboots, prequels or other variations on familiar IP (intellectual property), experts told CNN, making the Academy less inclined to reward them.\n

\n\n

\n Oscars voters tend to reward \u201cimportant\u201d films: The films that wind up getting nominated for Oscars don\u2019t have much in common these days. Some have a veneer of prestige based on creative teams or source material, while others have indie credibility or the mass approval of audiences \u2013 but Academy voters do tend to reward \u201cimportant\u201d films, said Dave Karger, a Turner Classic Movies host and Entertainment Weekly award correspondent. These films \u201cspeak to the times or offer some kind of social message,\u201d he said. \n

\n\n

\n ABC will broadcast the show starting at 8 p.m. EST. You can also stream the Oscars on Hulu+ Live TV, fubuTV, and DIRECTV Stream.\n

\n\n

\n The Oscar winners in all 23 categories will be revealed live, unlike last year, when several award presentations were prerecorded in an effort to shorten the traditionally lengthy show.\n

\n\n

\n While some are still talking about\u00a0Will Smith slapping Chris Rock\u00a0on stage at the event a year ago, Smith won\u2019t be in attendance on Sunday as he was\u00a0banned from attending the Oscars for the next 10 years.\n

\n Bj\u00f6rk\u2019s infamous swan dress may be the first thing that comes to mind when you think about 2001 Oscars fashion, but there\u2019s another ensemble that has become emblematic of the early 2000s:\u00a0Gillian\u00a0Anderson, at the height of \u201cThe X-Files\u201d fame, stepping out for the Vanity Fair afterparty in a backless navy number with a cheeky surprise. \n

\n\n

\n When she turned around, her thong was fully visible, rising up from the ultra-low Eduardo Lucero jersey dress she was wearing.\n

\n\n

\n Anderson\u00a0revealed in 2016 during a panel discussion in Los Angeles that the style choice was a last-minute decision and was made out of necessity. But it was just one of the many visible thongs of the era\u00a0\u2014 from Halle Berry to Rose McGowan \u2014 that made appearances on red-carpet events. \n

\n\n

\n Lately, the trend has resurfaced thanks to Bella Hadid, Alexa Demie and Hailey Bieber, the last of whom\u00a0Anderson\u00a0recognized in a throwback post comparing side-by-side looks.\u00a0\n

The Academy Awards, commonly known as the Oscars, are awards for artistic and technical merit for the film industry. They are presented annually by the Academy of Motion Picture Arts and Sciences (AMPAS) in the United States, in recognition of excellence in cinematic achievements as assessed by the Academy's voting membership.[1] The Oscars are widely considered to be the most prestigious awards in the film industry.[2]\n

The major award categories are presented during a live-televised Hollywood ceremony that is typically held in February or March. It is the oldest worldwide entertainment awards ceremony.[3] The 1st Academy Awards were held in 1929,[4] the second ceremony in 1930 was the first one broadcast by radio, and the 1953 ceremony was the first one televised.[3] It is also the oldest of the four major annual American entertainment awards; its equivalents \u2013 the Emmy Awards for television, the Tony Awards for theater, and the Grammy Awards for music \u2013 are modeled after the Academy Awards.[5] The Oscar statuette depicts a knight rendered in the Art Deco style.[6]\n

History[edit]

\n

The first Academy Awards presentation was held on May 16, 1929, at a private dinner function at The Hollywood Roosevelt Hotel with an audience of about 270 people.[7]\n

The post-awards party was held at the Mayfair Hotel.[8][3] The cost of guest tickets for that night's ceremony was $5 ($85 at 2020 prices). Fifteen statuettes were awarded, honoring artists, directors and other participants in the film-making industry of the time, for their works during the 1927\u201328 period. The ceremony ran for 15 minutes.\n

For this first ceremony, winners were announced to the media three months earlier. For the second ceremony in 1930, and the rest of the first decade, the results were given to newspapers for publication at 11:00 pm on the night of the awards.[3] In 1940, the Los Angeles Times announced the winners before the ceremony began; as a result, the following year the Academy started using a sealed envelope to reveal the names of the winners.[3]\n

The term \"Oscar\" is a registered trademark of the AMPAS; however, in the Italian language, it is used generically to refer to any award or award ceremony, regardless of which field.[9][10]\n

\n

Milestones[edit]

\n

The first Best Actor awarded was Emil Jannings, for his performances in The Last Command and The Way of All Flesh. He had to return to Europe before the ceremony, so the Academy agreed to give him the prize earlier; this made him the first Academy Award winner in history. At that time, winners were recognized for the entirety of their work done in a certain category during the qualifying period; for example, Jannings received the award for two movies in which he starred during that period, and Janet Gaynor later won a single Oscar for performances in three films. With the fourth ceremony, however, the system changed, and professionals were honored for a specific performance in a single film. For the first six ceremonies, the eligibility period spanned two calendar years.[3]\n

At the 29th ceremony, held in 1957, the Best Foreign Language Film category, now known as Best International Feature Film, was introduced. Until then, foreign-language films had been honored with the Special Achievement Award.\n

Perhaps the most widely seen streaker in history was 34-year-old Robert Opel, who streaked across the stage of The Dorothy Chandler Pavilion in Los Angeles flashing a peace sign on national US television at the 46th Academy Awards in 1974. Bemused host David Niven quipped, \"Isn't it fascinating to think that probably the only laugh that man will ever get in his life is by stripping off and showing his shortcomings?\" Later, evidence arose suggesting that Opel's appearance was facilitated as a publicity stunt by the show's producer Jack Haley Jr.\n

Robert Metzler, the show's business manager, believed that the incident had been planned in some way; during the dress rehearsal Niven had asked Metzler's wife to borrow a pen so he could write down the famous line, which was thus not the ad-lib it appeared to be.[11]\n

The 74th Academy Awards, held in 2002, presented the first Academy Award for Best Animated Feature.[12]\n

Since 1973 all Academy Awards ceremonies (except for 2021) have ended with the Academy Award for Best Picture. Traditionally, the previous year's winners for Best Actor and Best Supporting Actor present the awards for Best Actress and Best Supporting Actress, respectively, while the previous year's winners for Best Actress and Best Supporting Actress present the awards for Best Actor and Best Supporting Actor.\n

On February 9, 2020, Parasite became the first foreign-language film to win Best Picture at the 92nd Academy Awards.[13]\n

That same evening, Tom Hanks announced the opening of the Academy Museum of Motion Pictures, originally slated for December 14, 2020.[14] The museum development started in 2017 under Kerry Brougher, but is now led by Bill Kramer.[15] The industry-curated exhibits are geared toward the history of motion pictures and the art & science of film making, exhibiting trailblazing directors, actors, film-makers, sound editors and more, and the museum houses famous artifacts from acclaimed movies such as Dorothy's Ruby Red Slippers from The Wizard of Oz.\n

The 93rd Academy Awards ceremony, honoring the best films of 2020 and early 2021, was held on April 25, 2021, after it was postponed from its original February 28, 2021, schedule due to the impact of the COVID-19 pandemic on cinema. As with the two previous ceremonies, there was no host. The ceremony was broadcast on ABC. It took place at the Dolby Theatre in Los Angeles, California for the 19th consecutive year, along with satellite location taking place at the Union Station also in Los Angeles.[16] Because of the virus impact on films and TV industries, Academy president David Rubin and CEO Dawn Hudson announced that for the 2021 Oscar Ceremony, streaming movies with a previously planned theatrical release were eligible.[17] The theatrical requirement was reinstated starting with the 95th Academy Awards.[18]\n

Academy Award of Merit[edit]

The best-known award is the Academy Award of Merit, more popularly known as the Oscar statuette.[19] Made of gold-plated bronze on a black metal base, it is 13.5 in (34.3 cm) tall, weighs 8.5 lb (3.856 kg), and depicts a knight rendered in Art Deco style holding a sword standing on a reel of film with five spokes. The five spokes represent the original branches of the Academy: Actors, Writers, Directors, Producers, and Technicians.[20]\n

Sculptor George Stanley (who also did the Muse Fountain at the Hollywood Bowl) sculpted Cedric Gibbons' design. The statuettes presented at the initial ceremonies were gold-plated solid bronze. Within a few years, the bronze was abandoned in favor of Britannia metal, a pewter-like alloy which is then plated in copper, nickel silver, and finally, 24-karat gold.[19] Due to a metal shortage during World War II, Oscars were made of painted plaster for three years. Following the war, the Academy invited recipients to redeem the plaster figures for gold-plated metal ones.[21] The only addition to the Oscar since it was created is a minor streamlining of the base. The original Oscar mold was cast in 1928 at the C.W. Shumway & Sons Foundry in Batavia, Illinois, which also contributed to casting the molds for the Vince Lombardi Trophy and Emmy Award statuettes. From 1983 to 2015,[22] approximately 50 Oscars in a tin alloy with gold plating were made each year in Chicago by Illinois manufacturer R.S. Owens & Company.[23] It would take between three and four weeks to manufacture 50 statuettes.[24] In 2016, the Academy returned to bronze as the core metal of the statuettes, handing manufacturing duties to Walden, New York\u2013based Polich Tallix Fine Art Foundry, now owned and operated by UAP Urban Art Projects.[25][26] While based on a digital scan of an original 1929 Oscar, the statuettes retain their modern-era dimensions and black pedestal. Cast in liquid bronze from 3D-printed ceramic molds and polished, they are then electroplated in 24-karat gold by Brooklyn, New York\u2013based Epner Technology. The time required to produce 50 such statuettes is roughly three months.[27] R.S. Owens is expected to continue producing other awards for the Academy and service existing Oscars that need replating.[28]\n

\n

Naming[edit]

\n

The origin of the nickname of the trophy has been disputed as multiple people have taken credit for naming the trophy \"Oscar\".\n

Margaret Herrick, librarian and president of the Academy, may have said she named it after her supposed uncle Oscar in 1921.[a] The only corroboration was a 1938 clipping from the Los Angeles Examiner, in which Herrick told a story of her and her husband joking with each other using the phrase, \"How's your uncle Oscar\".[29]\n

Bette Davis, in her 1962 autobiography, claimed she named it in 1936 after her first husband, Harmon Oscar Nelson, of whom the statue's rear end reminded her.[29][30] But the term had been in use at least two years before, and in a 1974 biography written by Whitney Stine with commentary from Davis, Davis wrote \"I relinquish once and for all any claim that I was the one \u2014 so, Academy of Motion Picture Arts and Sciences, the honor is all yours\".[29][31]\n

Columnist Sidney Skolsky wrote in his 1970 memoir that he came up with the term in 1934 under pressure for a deadline, mocking Vaudeville comedians who asked \"Will you have a cigar, Oscar?\" The Academy credits Skolsky with \"the first confirmed newspaper reference\" to Oscar in his column on March 16, 1934, which was written about that year's 6th Academy Awards.[32] But in the newspaper clipping that Skolsky referred to, he wrote that \"these statues are called 'Oscars'\", meaning that the name was already in use.[29]\n

Bruce Davis, a former executive director of the Academy, credited Eleanore Lilleberg, a secretary at the Academy when the award was first introduced, for the nickname. She had overseen the pre-ceremony handling of the awards. Davis credits Lilleberg because he found in an autobiography of Einar Lilleberg, Eleanore's brother, that Einar had referenced a Norwegian army veteran named Oscar that the two knew in Chicago, whom Einar described as having always \"stood straight and tall\".[29][33] He asserts credit \"should almost certainly belong to\" Lilleberg.[33]\n

In 2021, Brazilian researcher Dr. Waldemar Dalenogare Neto found the probable first public mention of the name \"Oscar\", in journalist Relman Morin's \"Cinematters\" column in the Los Angeles Evening Post-Record on December 5, 1933. Since the awards didn't take place that year, he said: \"What's happened to the annual Academy banquet? As a rule, the banquet and the awarding of \"Oscar\", the bronze statuette given for best performances, is all over long before this\". This information changes the version of Sidney Skolsky as the first to publicly mention the name.[34]\n

\n

Engraving[edit]

\n

To prevent information identifying the Oscar winners from leaking ahead of the ceremony, Oscar statuettes presented at the ceremony have blank baseplates. Until 2010, winners returned their statuettes to the Academy and had to wait several weeks to have their names inscribed on their respective Oscars. Since 2010, winners have had the option of having engraved nameplates applied to their statuettes at an inscription-processing station at the Governor's Ball, a party held immediately after the Oscar ceremony. The R.S. Owens company has engraved nameplates made before the ceremony, bearing the name of every potential winner. The nameplates for the non-winning nominees are later recycled.[35][36]\n

\n

Ownership of Oscar statuettes[edit]

\n

Prior to 1950, Oscar statuettes were (and remain) the property of the recipient.[37] Since then the statuettes have been legally encumbered by the requirement that the statuette be first offered for sale back to the Academy for US$1. If a winner refuses to agree to this stipulation, then the Academy keeps the statuette. Academy Awards predating this agreement have been sold in public auctions and private deals for six-figure sums.[38]\n

In 1989, Michael Todd's grandson tried to sell Todd's Best Picture Oscar for his 1956 production of Around the World in 80 Days to a movie prop collector. The Academy earned enforcement of its statuette contract by gaining a permanent injunction against the sale.\n

In 1992, Harold Russell consigned his 1946 Oscar for Best Supporting Actor for The Best Years of Our Lives to auction to raise money for his wife's medical expenses. Though his decision caused controversy, the first Oscar ever to be sold passed to a private collector on August 6, 1992, for $60,500 ($126,200 today). Russell defended his action, saying, \"I don't know why anybody would be critical. My wife's health is much more important than sentimental reasons. The movie will be here, even if Oscar isn't\".[39]\n

In December 2011, Orson Welles' 1941 Oscar for Citizen Kane (Academy Award for Best Original Screenplay) was put up for auction, after his heirs won a 2004 court decision contending that Welles did not sign any agreement to return the statue to the Academy.[40] On December 20, 2011, it sold in an online auction for US$861,542 ($1,120,800 today).[41]\n

Some buyers have subsequently returned the statuettes to the Academy, which keeps them in its treasury.[38]\n

In addition to the Academy Award of Merit (Oscar award), there are nine honorary (non-competitive) awards presented by the Academy from time to time (except for the Academy Honorary Award, the Technical Achievement Award, and the Student Academy Awards, which are presented annually):[42]\n

\n\n

The Academy also awards Nicholl Fellowships in Screenwriting.\n

\n

Nomination[edit]

\n

From 2004 to 2020, the Academy Award nomination results were announced to the public in mid-January. Prior to that, the results were announced in early February. In 2021, the nominees were announced in March. In 2022, the nominees were announced in early February for the first time since 2003.\n

\n

Voters[edit]

\n

The Academy of Motion Picture Arts and Sciences (AMPAS), a professional honorary organization, maintains a voting membership of 9,487 as of 2022[update].[43][44]\n

Academy membership is divided into different branches, with each representing a different discipline in film production. As of 2022[update], actors constitute the largest bloc, numbering 1,359 (14.1% of the voting body).[44] Votes have been certified by the auditing firm PricewaterhouseCoopers (and its predecessor Price Waterhouse) since the 7th Academy Awards in 1935.[45][46][47] In May 2011, the Academy sent a letter advising its 6,000 or so voting members that an online system for Oscar voting would be implemented in 2013, replacing mailed paper ballots.[48]\n

All AMPAS members must be invited to join by the Board of Governors, on behalf of Academy Branch Executive Committees. Membership eligibility may be achieved by a competitive nomination, or an existing member may submit a name, based on other significant contributions to the field of motion pictures.\n

New membership proposals are considered annually. The Academy does not publicly disclose its membership, although as recently as 2007 press releases have announced the names of those who have been invited to join.[49]\n

In 2012, the results of a study conducted by the Los Angeles Times were published describing the demographic breakdown of approximately 88% of AMPAS' voting membership. Of the 5,100+ active voters confirmed, 94% were Caucasian, 77% were male, and 54% were found to be over the age of 60. 33% of voting members are former nominees (14%) and winners (19%).[50] In 2016, the Academy launched an initiative to expand its membership and increase diversity; by 2022, voting membership stood at 9,487.[44]\n

\n

Rules[edit]

\n

According to Rules 2 and 3 of the official Academy Awards Rules, a film must open in the previous calendar year, from midnight at the start of January 1 to midnight at the end of December 31, in Los Angeles County, California, and play for seven consecutive days, to qualify (except for the Best International Feature Film, Best Documentary Feature, and awards in short film categories). Additionally, the film must be shown at least three times on each day of its qualifying run, with at least one of the daily showings starting between 6 pm and 10 pm local time.[51][52]\n

For example, the 2009 Best Picture winner, The Hurt Locker, was originally first released in 2008, but did not qualify for the 2008 awards, as it did not play its Oscar-qualifying run in Los Angeles until mid-2009, thus qualifying for the 2009 awards. Foreign films must include English subtitles, and each country can submit only one film for consideration in the International Feature Film category per year.[53]\n

Rule 2 states that a film must be feature-length, defined as a minimum of 40 minutes, except for short-subject awards, and it must exist either on a 35 mm or 70 mm film print or in 24 frame/s or 48 frame/s progressive scan digital cinema format with a minimum projector resolution of 2,048 by 1,080 pixels.[54] Since the 90th Academy Awards, presented in 2018, multi-part and limited series have been ineligible for the Best Documentary Feature award. This followed the win of O.J.: Made in America, an eight-hour presentation that was screened in a limited release before being broadcast in five parts on ABC and ESPN, in that category in 2017. The Academy's announcement of the new rule made no direct mention of that film.[33]\n

The Best International Feature Film award does not require a U.S. release. It requires the film to be submitted as its country's official selection.\n

The Best Documentary Feature award requires either week-long releases in both Los Angeles County and any of the five boroughs of New York City during the previous calendar year,[b] or a qualifying award at a competitive film festival from the Documentary Feature Qualifying Festival list (regardless of any public exhibition or distribution), or submission in the International Feature Film category as its country's official selection. The qualifying theatrical runs must meet the same requirements as those for non-documentary films regarding numbers and times of screenings. Additionally, a film must have been reviewed by a critic from The New York Times, Time Out New York, the Los Angeles Times, or LA Weekly.[56]\n

Producers must submit an Official Screen Credits online form before the deadline; in case it is not submitted by the defined deadline, the film will be ineligible for Academy Awards in any year. The form includes the production credits for all related categories. Then, each form is checked and put in a Reminder List of Eligible Releases.\n

Awards in short film categories (Best Documentary Short Subject, Best Animated Short Film, and Best Live Action Short Film) have noticeably different eligibility rules from most other competitive awards. First, the qualifying period for release does not coincide with a calendar year, instead covering one year starting on October 1, and ending on September 30 of the calendar year before the ceremony. Second, there are multiple methods of qualification. The main method is a week-long theatrical release in either New York City or Los Angeles County during the eligibility period. Films also can qualify by winning specified awards at one of several competitive film festivals designated by the Academy, also without regard to prior public distribution. Finally, a film that is selected as a gold, silver, or bronze medal winner in an appropriate category of the immediately previous Student Academy Awards is also eligible (Documentary category for that award, and Animation, Narrative, Alternative, or International for the other awards). The requirements for the qualifying theatrical run are also different from those for other awards. Only one screening per day is required. For the Documentary award, the screening must start between noon and 10 pm local time; for other awards, no specific start time is required, but the film must appear in regular theater listings with dates and screening times.[56][57]\n

In late December, ballots, and copies of the Reminder List of Eligible Releases are mailed to around 6,000 active members. For most categories, members from each of the branches vote to determine the nominees only in their respective categories (i.e. only directors vote for directors, writers for writers, actors for actors, etc.). In the special case of Best Picture, all voting members are eligible to select the nominees. In all major categories, a variant of the single transferable vote is used, with each member casting a ballot with up to five nominees (ten for Best Picture) ranked preferentially.[58][59][60] In certain categories, including International Feature Film, Documentary and Animated Feature, nominees are selected by special screening committees made up of members from all branches.\n

In most categories, the winner is selected from among the nominees by plurality voting of all members.[58][60] Since 2009, the Best Picture winner has been chosen by instant runoff voting.[60][61] Since 2013, re-weighted range voting has been used to select the nominees for the Best Visual Effects.[62][63]\n

Film companies will spend as much as several million dollars on marketing to awards voters for a movie in the running for Best Picture, in attempts to improve chances of receiving Oscars and other movie awards conferred in Oscar season. The Academy enforces rules to limit overt campaigning by its members to try to eliminate excesses and prevent the process from becoming undignified. It has an awards czar on staff who advises members on allowed practices and levies penalties on offenders.[64] For example, a producer of the 2009 Best Picture nominee The Hurt Locker was disqualified as a producer in the category when he contacted associates urging them to vote for his film and not another that was seen as the front-runner (The Hurt Locker eventually won).\n

\n

Academy Screening Room[edit]

\n

The Academy Screening Room or Academy Digital Screening Room is a secure streaming platform which allows voting members of the Academy to view all eligible films (except, initially, those in the International category) in one place. It was introduced in 2019, for the 2020 Oscars, though DVD screeners and Academy in-person screenings were still provided. For films to be included on the platform, the North American distributor must pay $12,500, including a watermarking fee, and a digital copy of the film to be prepared for streaming by the Academy. The platform can be accessed via Apple TV and Roku players.[65][66] The watermarking process involved several video security firms, creating a forensic watermark and restricting the ability to take screenshots or screen recordings.[67]\n

In 2021, for the 2022 Oscars, the Academy banned all physical screeners and in-person screenings, restricting official membership viewing to the Academy Screening Room. Films eligible in the Documentary and International categories were made available in different sections of the platform. Distributors can also pay an extra fee to add video featurettes to promote their films on the platform.[68] The in-person screenings were said to be cancelled because of the COVID-19 pandemic.[69] Eligible films do not have to be added to the platform, but the Academy advertises them to voting members when they are.[68]\n

The major awards are presented at a live televised ceremony, commonly in late February or early March following the relevant calendar year, and six weeks after the announcement of the nominees. It is the culmination of the film awards season, which usually begins during November or December of the previous year. This is an elaborate extravaganza, with the invited guests walking up the red carpet in the creations of the most prominent fashion designers of the day. Black tie dress is the most common outfit for men, although fashion may dictate not wearing a bow-tie, and musical performers are sometimes not required to adhere to this (the artists who recorded the nominees for Best Original Song quite often perform those songs live at the awards ceremony, and the fact that they are performing is often used to promote the television broadcast).\n

The Academy Awards is the world's longest-running awards show televised live from the U.S. to all time zones in North America and worldwide, and gathers billions of viewers elsewhere throughout the world.[70] The Oscars were first televised in 1953 by NBC, which continued to broadcast the event until 1960, when ABC took over, televising the festivities (including the first color broadcast of the event in 1966) through 1970. NBC regained the rights for five years (1971\u201375), then ABC resumed broadcast duties in 1976 and its current contract with the Academy runs through 2028.[71] The Academy has also produced condensed versions of the ceremony for broadcast in international markets (especially those outside of the Americas) in more desirable local timeslots. The ceremony was broadcast live internationally for the first time via satellite since 1970, but only two South American countries, Chile and Brazil, purchased the rights to air the broadcast. By that time, the television rights to the Academy Awards had been sold in 50 countries. A decade later, the rights were already being sold to 60 countries, and by 1984, the TV rights to the Awards were licensed in 76 countries.\n

The ceremonies were moved up from late March/early April to late February, since 2004, to help disrupt and shorten the intense lobbying and ad campaigns associated with Oscar season in the film industry. Another reason was because of the growing TV ratings success coinciding with the NCAA division I men's basketball tournament, which would cut into the Academy Awards audience. (In 1976 and 1977, ABC's regained Oscars were moved from Tuesday to Monday and went directly opposite the national championship game on NBC) The earlier date is also to the advantage of ABC, as it now usually occurs during the highly profitable and important February sweeps period. Some years, the ceremony is moved into the first Sunday of March to avoid a clash with the Winter Olympic Games. Another reason for the move to late February and early March is also to avoid the awards ceremony occurring so close to the religious holidays of Passover and Easter, which for decades had been a grievance from members and the general public.[72] Advertising is somewhat restricted, however, as traditionally no movie studios or competitors of official Academy Award sponsors may advertise during the telecast. As of 2020, the production of the Academy Awards telecast held the distinction of winning one the highest number of Emmys in history, with 54 wins and 280 nominations overall.[73]\n

After many years of being held on Mondays at 6:00 p.m. Pacific/9:00 pm Eastern, since the 1999 ceremonies, it was moved to Sundays at 5:30 pm PT/8:30 pm ET.[74] The reasons given for the move were that more viewers would tune in on Sundays, that Los Angeles rush-hour traffic jams could be avoided, and an earlier start time would allow viewers on the East Coast to go to bed earlier.[75] For many years the film industry opposed a Sunday broadcast because it would cut into the weekend box office.[76] In 2010, the Academy contemplated moving the ceremony even further back into January, citing TV viewers' fatigue with the film industry's long awards season. However, such an accelerated schedule would dramatically decrease the voting period for its members, to the point where some voters would only have time to view the contending films streamed on their computers (as opposed to traditionally receiving the films and ballots in the mail). Furthermore, a January ceremony on Sunday would clash with National Football League playoff games.[77] In 2018, the Academy announced that the ceremony would be moved from late February to mid-February beginning with the 92nd Academy Awards in 2020.[78] In 2024, the ceremony was moved to an even earlier start time of 4:00 pm PT/7:00 pm ET, the apparent impetus being the ability for ABC to air a half-hour of primetime programming as a lead-out program at 7:30 pm PT/10:30 pm ET [79]\n

Originally scheduled for April 8, 1968, the 40th Academy Awards ceremony was postponed for two days, because of the assassination of Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr. On March 30, 1981, the 53rd Academy Awards was postponed for one day, after the attempted assassination of President Ronald Reagan and others in Washington, D.C.[80]\n

In 1993, an In Memoriam segment was introduced,[81] honoring those who had made a significant contribution to cinema who had died in the preceding 12 months, a selection compiled by a small committee of Academy members.[82] This segment has drawn criticism over the years for the omission of some names. Criticism was also levied for many years regarding another aspect, with the segment having a \"popularity contest\" feel as the audience varied their applause to those who had died by the subject's cultural impact; the applause has since been muted during the telecast, and the audience is discouraged from clapping during the segment and giving silent reflection instead. This segment was later followed by a commercial break.\n

In terms of broadcast length, the ceremony generally averages three and a half hours. The first Oscars, in 1929, lasted 15 minutes. At the other end of the spectrum, the 2002 ceremony lasted four hours and twenty-three minutes.[83][84] In 2010, the organizers of the Academy Awards announced winners' acceptance speeches must not run past 45 seconds. This, according to organizer Bill Mechanic, was to ensure the elimination of what he termed \"the single most hated thing on the show\" \u2013 overly long and embarrassing displays of emotion.[85] In 2016, in a further effort to streamline speeches, winners' dedications were displayed on an on-screen ticker.[86] During the 2018 ceremony, host Jimmy Kimmel acknowledged how long the ceremony had become, by announcing that he would give a brand-new jet ski to whoever gave the shortest speech of the night (a reward won by Mark Bridges when accepting his Best Costume Design award for Phantom Thread).[87] The Wall Street Journal analyzed the average minutes spent across the 2014\u20132018 telecasts as follows: 14 on song performances; 25 on the hosts' speeches; 38 on prerecorded clips; and 78 on the awards themselves, broken into 24 on the introduction and announcement, 24 on winners walking to the stage, and 30 on their acceptance speeches.[88]\n

Although still dominant in ratings, the viewership of the Academy Awards has steadily dropped; the 88th Academy Awards were the lowest-rated in the past eight years (although with increases in male and 18\u201349 viewership), while the show itself also faced mixed reception. Following the show, Variety reported that ABC was, in negotiating an extension to its contract to broadcast the Oscars, seeking to have more creative control over the broadcast itself. Currently and nominally, AMPAS is responsible for most aspects of the telecast, including the choice of production staff and hosting, although ABC is allowed to have some input on their decisions.[89] In August 2016, AMPAS extended its contract with ABC through 2028: the contract neither contains any notable changes nor gives ABC any further creative control over the telecast.[90]\n

\n

TV ratings[edit]

\n

Historically, the telecast's viewership is higher when box-office hits are favored to win the Best Picture award. More than 57.25 million viewers tuned to the telecast for the 70th Academy Awards in 1998, the year of Titanic, which generated a box office haul during its initial 1997\u201398 run of US$600.8 million in the US, a box-office record that would remain unsurpassed for years.[91] The 76th Academy Awards ceremony, in which The Lord of the Rings: The Return of the King (pre-telecast box office earnings of US$368 million) received 11 Awards, including Best Picture, drew 43.56 million viewers.[92] The most-watched ceremony based on Nielsen ratings to date, however, was the 42nd Academy Awards (Best Picture Midnight Cowboy), which drew a 43.4% household rating on April 7, 1970.[93] Hoping to reinvigorate the pre-show and ratings, the 2023 Oscars organizers hired members of the Met Gala creative team.[94]\n

By contrast, ceremonies honoring films that have not performed well at the box office tend to show weaker ratings, despite how much critical acclaim those films have received. The 78th Academy Awards, which awarded a low-budget independent film (Crash with a pre-Oscar gross of US$53.4 million) generated an audience of 38.64 million with a household rating of 22.91%.[95] In 2008, the 80th Academy Awards telecast was watched by 31.76 million viewers on average with an 18.66% household rating, the lowest-rated and least-watched ceremony at the time, in spite of celebrating 80 years of the Academy Awards.[96] The Best Picture winner of that particular ceremony was another independent film (this time, the The Coen Brothers's No Country for Old Men).\n

Whereas the 92nd Academy Awards drew an average of 23.6 million viewers,[99] the 93rd Academy Awards drew an even lower viewership of 10.4 million,[100] the lowest viewership recorded by Nielsen since it started recording audience totals in 1974.[101] The 94th and 95th editions drew 16.6 and 18.7 million viewers, respectively, still below the audience of the 92nd edition.[102][103]\n

Venues[edit]

\n

In 1929, the first Academy Awards were presented at a banquet dinner at The Hollywood Roosevelt Hotel. From 1930 to 1943, the ceremony alternated between two venues: the Ambassador Hotel on Wilshire Boulevard and the Biltmore Hotel in downtown Los Angeles.\n

Grauman's Chinese Theatre in Hollywood then hosted the awards from 1944 to 1946, followed by the Shrine Auditorium in Los Angeles from 1947 to 1948. The 21st Academy Awards in 1949 were held at the Academy Award Theatre at what had been the Academy's headquarters on Melrose Avenue in Hollywood.[105]\n

From 1950 to 1960, the awards were presented at Hollywood's Pantages Theatre. With the advent of television, the awards from 1953 to 1957 took place simultaneously in Hollywood and New York, first at the NBC International Theatre (1953) and then at the NBC Century Theatre, after which the ceremony took place solely in Los Angeles. The Oscars moved to the Santa Monica Civic Auditorium in Santa Monica, California, in 1961. By 1969, the Academy decided to move the ceremonies back to Downtown Los Angeles, this time to the Dorothy Chandler Pavilion at the Los Angeles County Music Center. In the late 1990s and early 2000s, the ceremony returned to the Shrine Auditorium.\n

In 2002, Hollywood's Dolby Theatre (previously known as the Kodak Theatre) became the presentation's current venue.[106]\n

In the first year of the awards, the Best Directing award was split into two categories (Drama and Comedy). At times, the Best Original Score award has also been split into separate categories (Drama and Comedy/Musical). From the 1930s through the 1960s, the Art Direction (now Production Design), Cinematography, and Costume Design awards were likewise split into two categories (black-and-white films and color films). Prior to 2012, the Production Design award was called Art Direction, while the Makeup and Hairstyling award was called Makeup.\n

In August 2018, the Academy announced that several categories would not be televised live, but rather be recorded during commercial breaks and aired later in the ceremony.[108]\nFollowing dissent from Academy members, they announced that they would indeed air all 24 categories live. This followed several proposals (among them, the introduction of a Popular Film category) that the Academy had announced but did not implement.[109]\n

Proposed categories[edit]

\n

The Board of Governors meets each year and considers new award categories. To date, the following categories have been proposed:\n

\n
  • Best Casting: rejected in 1999;[110] will be implemented for the 2026 ceremony[107]
    • \n
  • Best Popular Film: proposed in 2018 for presentation at the 2019 ceremony; postponed until the 2020 ceremony at the earliest (yet to be implemented)[111]
    • \n
  • Best Stunt Coordination: rejected every year from 1991 to 2012[112][113][114][115][116]
    • \n
  • Best Title Design: rejected in 1999[110]

Criticism and controversies[edit]

\n

Accusations of commercialism[edit]

\n

Due to the positive exposure and prestige of the Academy Awards, many studios spend around 25 million dollars and hire publicists specifically to promote their films during what is typically called the \"Oscar season\".[117] This has generated accusations of the Academy Awards being influenced more by marketing and lobbying than by quality. William Friedkin, an Academy Award\u2013winning film director and former producer of the ceremony, expressed this sentiment at a conference in New York in 2009, describing it as \"the greatest promotion scheme that any industry ever devised for itself\".[118]\n

Tim Dirks, editor of AMC's Filmsite, has written of the Academy Awards:\n

\n

Unfortunately, the critical worth, artistic vision, cultural influence and innovative qualities of many films are not given the same voting weight. Especially since the 1980s, moneymaking \"formula-made\" blockbusters with glossy production values have often been crowd-pleasing titans (and Best Picture winners), but they haven't necessarily been great films with depth or critical acclaim by any measure.[119]

A recent technique that has been claimed to be used during the Oscar season is the whisper campaign. These campaigns are intended to spread negative perceptions of other movies nominated and are believed to be perpetrated by those that were involved in creating the movie. Examples of whisper campaigns include the allegations against Zero Dark Thirty suggesting that it justifies torture and the claim that Lincoln distorts history.[120]\n

Accusations of bias[edit]

\n
Further information: Oscar bait
\n

Typical criticism of the Academy Awards for Best Picture is that among the winners and nominees there is an over-representation of romantic historical epics, biographical dramas, romantic dramedies and family melodramas, most of which are released in the U.S. in the last three months of the calendar year. The Oscars have been infamously known for selecting specific genres of movies to be awarded. The term \"Oscar bait\" was coined to describe such movies. This has led, at times, to more specific criticisms that the Academy is disconnected from the audience, e.g., by favoring \"Oscar bait\" over audience favorites or favoring historical melodramas over critically acclaimed movies that depict current life issues.[121]\n

Despite the success of The Dark Knight, the film did not receive a Best Picture nomination at the 81st Academy Awards. This decision received substantial criticism and was described as a \"snub\" by many publications.[122][123][124] The backlash to the decision was such that, for the 82nd Academy Awards awards in 2010, the academy increased the limit for Best Picture nominees from five to ten, a change known as \"The Dark Knight Rule\".[125][126][127][124]\n

\n

Allegations of a lack of diversity[edit]

\n

The Academy Awards have long received criticism over its lack of diversity among the nominees.[128][129][130] This criticism is based on the statistics from every Academy Awards since 1929, which show that only 6.4% of academy award nominees have been non-white and since 1991, 11.2% of nominees have been non-white, with the rate of winners being even more polarizing.[131] Due to a variety of reasons, including marketability and historical bans on interracial couples, a number of high-profile Oscars have been given to yellowface portrayals, as well as performances of Asian characters rewritten for white characters.[132][133] It took until 2023 for an Asian woman to win an Academy Award for Best Actress, when Michelle Yeoh received the award for her performance in Everything Everywhere All at Once. The 88th awards ceremony became the target of a boycott, popularized on social media with the hashtag #OscarsSoWhite, based on activists' perception that its all-white acting nominee list reflected bias.[134] In response, the Academy initiated \"historic\" changes in membership by 2020.[135][136] Some media critics claim the Academy's efforts to address its purported racial, gender and national biases are merely distractions.[137][138][139][140] By contrast, the Golden Globe Awards already have multiple winners of Asian descent in leading actress categories.[141] Some question whether the Academy's definition of \"merit\" is just or empowering for non-Americans.[142]\n

The Academy\u2019s Representation and Inclusion Standards have been criticized for excluding Jews as a distinct underrepresented class.[143]\n

\n

Miscategorization of actors[edit]

\n
See also: Carol (film) \u00a7 Oscar category
\n

The Academy has no rules for how to categorize whether a performance is leading or supporting, and it is up to the discretion of the studios whether a given performance is submitted for either Best Actor/Actress or Best Supporting Actor/Actress. This has led situations where a film has two or more co-leads, and one of these is submitted in a supporting category to avoid the two leads competing against each other, and to increase the film's chances of winning. This practice has been derisively called \"category fraud\". For example, Rooney Mara was nominated for Best Supporting Actress for Carol (2015), despite her having a comparable amount of screentime to Cate Blanchett, who was nominated for Best Actress. Another example is Once Upon a Time in Hollywood (2019), where Brad Pitt was nominated for and won Best Supporting Actor, even though he played an equally important role to Best Actor nominee Leonardo DiCaprio. In both these cases, critics argued that The Weinstein Company, the studio behind the former film, had placed someone who was actually a leading actor or actress into the supporting categories to avoid them competing against their co-lead.[144][145]\n

\n

Symbolism or sentimentalization[edit]

\n

Acting prizes in certain years have been criticized for not recognizing superior performances so much as being awarded for personal popularity,[146] to make up for a \"snub\" for a work that proved in time to be more popular or renowned than the one awarded, or presented as a \"career honor\" to recognize a distinguished nominee's entire body of work.[147]\n

\n

Recognition of streaming media film[edit]

\n

Following the 91st Academy Awards in February 2019 in which the Netflix-broadcast film Roma had been nominated for ten awards including the Best Picture category, Steven Spielberg and other members of the Academy discussed changing the requirements through the Board of Governors for films as to exclude those from Netflix and other media streaming services. Spielberg had been concerned that Netflix as a movie production and distribution studio could spend much more than typical Oscar-winning films and have much wider and earlier distribution than other Best Picture-nominated films, while still being able to meet the minimal theatrical-run status to qualify for an Oscar.[148]\n

The United States Department of Justice, having heard of this potential rule change, wrote a letter to the Academy in March 2019, cautioning them that placing additional restrictions on films that originate from streaming media services without proper justification could raise anti-trust concerns against the Academy.[149] Following its April 2019 board meeting, the Academy Board of Governors agreed to retain the current rules that allow for streaming media films to be eligible for Oscars as long as they enjoy limited theatrical runs.[150]\n

2022 Chris Rock and Will Smith slapping incident[edit]

\n
Main article: Chris Rock\u2013Will Smith slapping incident
\n

During the 94th Academy Awards on March 27, 2022, Chris Rock joked about Jada Pinkett Smith's shaved head[151] with a G.I. Jane reference. Will Smith walked onstage and slapped Rock across the face, then returned to his seat and told Rock, twice, to \"Keep my wife's name out [of] your fucking mouth!\"[152][153][154] While later accepting the Best Actor award for King Richard, Smith apologized to the Academy and the other nominees, but not to Rock.[155][156][157] Rock decided not to press charges against Smith.[158][relevant?]\n

On April 8, 2022, the Academy made an announcement via a letter sent by president David Rubin and CEO Dawn Hudson informing the public that Will Smith had received a ten-year ban from attending the Oscars as a result of the incident.[159]\n

\n

Refusals of the award[edit]

\n

Some winners critical of the Academy Awards have boycotted the ceremonies and refused to accept their Oscars. The first to do so was screenwriter Dudley Nichols (Best Writing in 1935 for The Informer). Nichols boycotted the 8th Academy Awards ceremony because of conflicts between the Academy and the Writers' Guild.[160] Nichols eventually accepted the 1935 award three years later, at the 1938 ceremony. Nichols was nominated for three further Academy Awards during his career.\n

George C. Scott became the second person to refuse his award (Best Actor in 1970 for Patton) at the 43rd Academy Awards ceremony. Scott described it as a \"meat parade\", saying, \"I don't want any part of it\".[161][162][163]\n

The third person to refuse the award was Marlon Brando, who refused his award (Best Actor for 1972's The Godfather), citing the film industry's discrimination and mistreatment of Native Americans. At the 45th Academy Awards ceremony, Brando asked actress and civil rights activist Sacheen Littlefeather to read a 15-page speech in his place, detailing his criticisms, for which there was booing and cheering by the audience.[164][160] In 2022, Littlefeather was accused by her sisters of misrepresenting her ancestry as Native American.[165][166][167][168][169]\n

\n

Disqualifications[edit]

\n

Seven films have had nominations revoked before the official award ceremony:[170]\n

\n
  • The Circus (1928) \u2013 The film was voluntarily removed by the Academy from competitive categories, to award Charlie Chaplin a special award.
    • \n
  • Hondo (1953) \u2013 Removed from the Best Story ballot after letters from the producer and nominee questioned its inclusion in the category.
    • \n
  • High Society (1955) \u2013 Withdrawn from screenwriting ballot after being mistaken for the 1956 movie of the same title.
    • \n
  • The Godfather (1972) \u2013 Initially nominated for eleven awards, its nomination for Best Original Score was revoked after it was discovered that its main theme was very similar to music that the score's composer had written for an earlier film. None of its other nominations were revoked, and it received three Oscars, including Best Picture.
    • \n
  • A Place in the World (1992) \u2013 Removed from the Best Foreign Language Film ballot after it was discovered that the country which submitted the film exercised insufficient artistic control.
    • \n
  • Alone Yet Not Alone (2014) \u2013 The film's title song, \"Alone Yet Not Alone\", was removed from the Best Original Song ballot after Bruce Broughton was found to have improperly contacted other members of the academy's musical branch; this was the first time that a film was removed from a ballot for ethical reasons.
    • \n
  • 13 Hours: The Secret Soldiers of Benghazi (2017) \u2013 Sound mixer Greg P. Russell's nomination was rescinded one day before the Awards when it was discovered he had improperly contacted voters by telephone. In this case, the nominations for the other three nominated sound mixers, Gary Summers, Jeffrey J. Haboush and Mac Ruth, were allowed to stand.
\n

One film was disqualified after winning the award, and had the winner return the Oscar:\n

\n
  • Young Americans (1969) \u2013 Initially won the award for Best Documentary Feature, but was later revoked after it was revealed that it had opened theatrically prior to the eligibility period.
\n

One film had its nomination revoked after the award ceremony when it had not won the Oscar:\n

\n
  • Tuba Atlantic (2011) \u2013 Its nomination for Best Live Action Short Film was revoked when it was discovered that the film had aired on television in 2010, before its theatrical release.
\n

Remarks about animated films as children's genre[edit]

\n

At the 94th Academy Awards in 2022, the award for the Best Animated Feature was presented by three actresses who portrayed as Disney princess characters in live-action remakes of their respective animated films: Lily James (Cinderella), Naomi Scott (Aladdin), and Halle Bailey (The Little Mermaid). While introducing the category, Bailey stated that animated films are \"formative experiences as kids who watch them,\" as James put it, \"So many kids watch these movies over and over, over and over again.\" Scott added: \"I see some parents who know exactly what we're talking about.\"[171] The remarks were heavily criticized by animation fans and those working in the animation industry as infantilizing the medium and perpetuating the stigma that animated works are strictly for children, especially since the industry was credited with sustaining the flow of Hollywood content and revenue during the height of the COVID-19 pandemic. Phil Lord, co-producer of one of the nominated films, The Mitchells vs. the Machines, tweeted that it was \"super cool to position animation as something that kids watch and adults have to endure.\" The film's official social media accounts responded to the joke with an image reading: \"Animation is cinema.\"[172][173] A week later, Lord and his producing partner Christopher Miller wrote a guest column in Variety criticizing the academy for the joke and how Hollywood has been treating animation writing that \"no one set out to diminish animated films, but it's high time we set out to elevate them.\" They also suggested to the academy that the category should be presented by a filmmaker who respects the art of animation as cinema.[174]\n

Adding to the controversy was that the award for Best Animated Short Film (the nominees for which were mostly made up of shorts not aimed at children) was one of the eight categories that were not presented during the live broadcast.[175] The winner for the Best Animated Short award was The Windshield Wiper, a multilingual Spanish-American film which is adult animated, while another nominee in three categories: Best Animated Feature, Best Documentary Feature Film, and Best International Feature Film, was Flee, a PG-13 rated animated documentary about an Afghan refugee. Alberto Mielgo, director of The Windshield Wiper, later gave an acceptance speech for the Oscar: \"Animation is an art that includes every single art that you can imagine. Animation for adults is a fact. It's happening. Let's call it cinema. I'm very honored because this is just the beginning of what we can do with animation.\"[176] Some speculations suggested that the speech played a role in the decision to not broadcast the award.[177]\n

Another factor is that numerous animated films have been made for mature audiences or with ranges of PG-13 or more, with a few of them \u2014The Triplets of Belleville, Persepolis, Chico and Rita, The Wind Rises, Anomalisa, My Life as a Courgette, The Breadwinner, Loving Vincent, Isle of Dogs, I Lost My Body, and Flee\u2014 having been nominated in this category, with The Boy and the Heron being the first adult animated film (in this case, PG-13-rated) to win in the 96th Academy Awards. In addition, a non-Ghibli anime has yet to win.[178][179][180]\n

These comments came as #NewDeal4Animation, a movement of animation workers demanding equal pay, treatment and recognition alongside their contemporaries working in live-action, was picking up momentum during negotiations for a new contract between The Animation Guild, IATSE Local 839/SAG-AFTRA and the Alliance of Motion Picture and Television Producers,[181] and the presentation is being used to rally the movement.\n

During the 96th Academy Awards in 2024, host Jimmy Kimmel said, \"Please raise your hand if you let your kid fill out this part of the ballot.\" These remarks would again prompt backlash, with Christopher Miller, producer of that year's nominated Spider-Man: Across the Spider-Verse, tweeting out that the joke was \"tired and lazy\".[182] The PG-13-rated The Boy and the Heron would subsequently win the award.\n

Presenter and performer gifts[edit]

\n

It has become a tradition to give out gift bags to the presenters and performers at the Oscars. In recent years, these gifts have also been extended to award nominees and winners.[187] The value of each of these gift bags can reach into the tens of thousands of dollars. In 2014, the value was reported to be as high as US$80,000.[188] The value has risen to the point where the U.S. Internal Revenue Service issued a statement regarding the gifts and their taxable status.[189]\nOscar gift bags have included vacation packages to Hawaii and Mexico and Japan, a private dinner party for the recipient and friends at a restaurant, videophones, a four-night stay at a hotel, watches, bracelets, spa treatments, bottles of vodka, maple salad dressing, weight-loss gummie candy and up to $25,000 worth of cosmetic treatments and rejuvenation procedures such as lip fillers and chemical peels from New York City facial plastic surgeon Konstantin Vasyukevich.[187][190][191][192][193] Some of the gifts have even had a \"risque\" element to them; in 2014, the adult products retailer Adam & Eve had a \"Secret Room Gifting Suite\". Celebrities visiting the gifting suite included Judith Hoag, Carolyn Hennesy, Kate Linder, Chris Mulkey, Jim O'Heir and John Salley.[194]\n

Deadline puts doubt on it, saying \"'He reminds me of my Uncle Oscar,' she was reported to have said, while in the hearing of a 'nearby newspaper columnist' who picked up the anecdote and ran with it the next day\". Variety and The Hollywood Reporter state with certainty that she made a claim to the Oscar nickname.\n

A lack of surprises wasn't necessarily a bad thing for the Oscars

\n The 95th Academy Awards definitely wasn\u2019t like last year\u2019s ceremony \u2013 and for that, the people behind the scenes are probably breathing a sigh of relief.\n

\n\n

\n After \u201cthe slap,\u201d the Academy instituted a crisis team that was on hand to make sure things didn\u2019t get out of hand.\n

\n\n

\n But Sunday night was devoid of that type of drama \u2013 and of many surprises.\n

\n\n

\n As expected, \u201cEverything Everywhere All at Once\u201d was a big winner, taking home the awards for best actress, supporting actor and actress, best original screenplay, best picture and best directing categories.\n

\n\n

\n Brendan Fraser bested Austin Butler for best actor, which wasn\u2019t exactly an upset as they were both leading contenders.\n

\n\n

\n The closest thing that came to a shocker was Sarah Polley\u2019s win for best-adapted screenplay for \u201cWomen Talking,\u201d a small film that felt very much the David that beat out the Goliath of a blockbuster, \u201cTop Gun: Maverick,\u201d in the category.\n

\n All of this meant the show was allowed to let the talent and their heartfelt speeches shine. \n

\n\n

\n From Ruth E. Carter, who paid tribute to her centenarian mother who recently passed away as she became the first Black woman to be awarded two Oscars with her best costume design win for \u201cBlack Panther: Wakanda Forever,\u201d to Daniel Kwan admitting to feeling imposter syndrome with his wins as co-director and co-writer of \u201cEverything Everywhere All at Once.\u201d\n

\n\n

\n Even the humor seemed to flow without much controversy, even if Kimmel did throw in a dad-type joke here and there. \n

\n It felt like a throwback to an era where the ceremony celebrated the art and artists minus the moments that go viral for the wrong reasons. \n

\n\n

\n It will remain to be seen if such positivity was a positive for the ratings. \n

\n \u201cEverything Everywhere All At Once\u201d took home the best picture Oscar on Sunday night. \n

\n\n

\n The film\u2019s producer, Jonathan Wang, began the speech by saying, \u201cTo my brilliant and beautiful wife, if all the shiny stuff and tuxedos goes away I would love to do taxes and laundry with you for the rest of my life.\u201d \n

\n\n

\n He also cried about his late father saying he had taught him:\n

\n\n \n\n

\n Daniel Kwan, one of the directors, also spoke: \n

\n\n

\n\t \u201cOne of the best things we can do for each other is shelter each other from the chaos of this crazy world we live in. Thank you to the storytellers here who did that for me. The world is changing rapidly and I fear that our stories are not keeping at pace. Sometimes it\u2019s a little scary knowing that movies move at the rate of years in the world when the internet is moving at the rate of milliseconds. But I have great faith in our stories, these stories have changed my life and they have done that for generations and I know that we will get through this.\u201d\n

\n John Travolta had two dear friends included in the \u201cIn Memoriam\u201d portion of the Academy Awards so it makes sense that it made him emotional.\n

\n\n

\n\t\u201cIn this industry, we have the rare luxury of doing what we love for a living,\u201d he said. And sometimes getting to do it with people we come to love.\u201d \n

\n

\n He went on to say they would be celebrating those who \u201ctouched our hearts, they made us smile, and became dear friends.\u201d\n

\n\n

\n \u201cWho we will always remain hopelessly devoted to,\u201d Travolta said tearfully.\n

\n\n

\n That was a reference to his friend and \u201cGrease\u201d costar Olivia Newton-John who died in August after multiple bouts of cancer. She was 73. \n

\n\n

\n Donnie Yen introduced a performance of best song nominee \u201cThis is a Life\u201d from \u201cEverything Everywhere All at Once\u201d at the Academy Awards Sunday despite a petition calling for his removal as a presenter.\u00a0\n

\n\n

\n The 59-year-old actor, best known for his role in \u201cRogue One: A Star Wars Story\u201d and the hugely popular \u201cIp Man\u201d franchise, has long been a controversial figure among sections within his native Hong Kong, owing to his apparent criticism of the city\u2019s pro-democracy movement.\n

\n\n

\n In the days leading up to the ceremony, a petition garnered tens of thousands of signatures calling for his removal as a presenter, citing his connections to China\u2019s ruling Communist Party.\n

\n\n

\n So far ar this year Rihanna has given us a Super Bowl halftime show, a surprise pregnancy and a performance at the Academy Awards.\n

\n\n

\n Yet still no new album.\n

\n\n

\n That may sound greedy, unless you remember that her last album, \u201cAnti,\u201d dropped in 2016 \u2013 as in seven years ago.\n

\n\n

\n Oh she\u2019s teased us with singing the hook on Canadian singer PartyNextDoor\u2019s 2020 single \u201cBelieve It\u201d and the song \u201cLift Me Up\u201d from the \u201cBlack Panther: Wakanda Forever\u201d soundtrack.\n

\n\n

\n He asked Malala if she thought Harry Styles had spit on his \u201cDon\u2019t Worry Darling\u201d co-star Chris Pine. (For the record, that\u2019s a reference to a viral rumor from the Venice Film Festival back in March, which was dismissed by those actually involved.)\n

\n Two of the people being credited with getting audiences back in the theater apparently have skipped the biggest night that celebrates movies.\n

\n\n

\n Oscars host Jimmy Kimmel mentioned in his opening monologue that both Tom Cruise and James Cameron were not in attendance, though he joked that perhaps Cruise was there, dressed as nominee Judd Hirsch.\n

\n\n

\n While Cruise\u2019s blockbuster \u201cTop Gun: Maverick\u201d is nominated for best film, Deadline reported the star was skipping the show because of work. \n

\n\n

\n Meanwhile, Kimmel mentioned there was some speculation that Cameron sat this one out because he had not been nominated in the directing category for \u201cAvatar: The Way of Water,\u201d which is also nominated for best film. \n

\n\n

\n \u201cAvatar\u201d producer Jon Landau said on the red carpet (which was really champagne-colored) that Cameron was not coming for \u201cpersonal reasons.\u201d \n

\n Oscars host Jimmy Kimmel jokes that if any audience member wants to incite violence or \u201cget jiggy with it,\u201d in a reference to Will Smith\u2019s song, \u201cGettin\u2019 Jiggy Wit It,\u201d he\u2019s got backup. \n

\n\n

\n Kimmel joked that they would have to get through Michelle Yeoh, Michael B. Jordan, Steven Spielberg and many others to get to him on stage. \n

\n\n

\n Background: During 2022\u2019s ceremony, Smith walked on stage at the Oscars and slapped Chris Rock, who was presenting at the time, after he made a joke about Smith\u2019s wife\u2019s shaved head.\n

\n\n

\n Smith\u00a0later apologized, but The Academy sanctioned the actor by\u00a0banning him from attending the Oscars for the next 10 years.\n

\n Angela Bassett\u2019s powerful performance as Queen Ramonda in the \u201cBlack Panther\u201d sequel \u201cBlack Panther: Wakanda Forever\u201d earned her a best supporting actress nomination for the 95th Academy Awards.\n

\n\n

\n While it was not her first nomination (Bassett received a best actress nomination for her portrayal of Tina Turner in 1993\u2019s biopic \u201cWhat\u2019s Love Got to Do With It?\u201d), the news did mark a few firsts: The nod made her the first person of color, the first woman and the first Marvel Studios actor to be nominated for a performance in a comic book adaptation.\n

\n\n

\n\t\u201cThis morning is a little extra special in the Bassett Vance household with news of my Oscar nomination,\u201d Bassett said in a statement to CNN. \u201cWhat has drawn me to each of the women I\u2019ve portrayed throughout my career is their strength, compassion, resilience, and power. Wakanda Forever\u2019s Queen Ramonda is a character that touched my spirit because she is a mother and a leader who must care for her grieving nation as much as she cares for her family in mourning. Ramonda is a love letter that reflects and acknowledges what we women do everyday.\u201d\n

\n Jimmy Kimmel will return to host the Academy Awards for a third time, according to the Academy of Motion Picture Arts and Sciences. In a recent interview ahead of the big night, Kimmel said he\u2019s ready for anything.\n

\n\n

\n\t\u201cBeing invited to host the Oscars for a third time is either a great honor or a trap,\u201d Kimmel said jokingly in a statement. \u201cEither way, I am grateful to the Academy for asking me so quickly after everyone good said no.\u201d\n

\n

\n As for what we can expect from Kimmel this year?\n

\n\n

\n He said it\u2019s simple \u2013 he\u2019ll tell jokes.\n

\n\n

\n\t\u201cI don\u2019t have a lot of talents, so there\u2019s not a huge number of areas for me to draw from outside of telling jokes,\u201d he said. \u201cI mean, I am pretty good at drawing cartoons, so I guess I could sit down and do caricatures of the stars?\u201d\n

\n

\n \u201cThe best advice I got about hosting the Oscars was from Billy Crystal, who told me, \u2018Play to the room,\u2019\u201d Kimmel added. \u201cYou always have to be conscious of the audience at home and make sure they understand what\u2019s going on, but you also want to get laughs in the room \u2014 and if you don\u2019t get that, it\u2019s not going to play well for people watching on TV.\u201d\n

\n\n

\n Kimmel previously helmed the ceremony in 2017 and 2018. His last foray into hosting the awards show was memorable for the infamous \u201cLa La Land\u201d and \u201cMoonlight\u201d Best Picture mix-up.\n

\n Rihanna isn\u2019t the only superstar singer who will be performing at the Oscars.\n

\n\n

\n According to ABC, Lady Gaga will be singing her \u201cTop Gun: Maverick\u201d theme song \u201cHold My Hand.\u201d\n

\n\n

\n Variety was the first to report that despite earlier reports that Gaga would be skipping the awards show because of being busy with her starring role in \u201cJoker: Folie \u00e0 Deux,\u201d the Oscar-winning singer (for best original song in 2019 for her hit \u201cShallow\u201d with Bradley Cooper\u201d from \u201cA Star Is Born\u201d) will be taking to the stage on Hollywood\u2019s biggest night.\n

\n\n

\n The other best original song nominees, Rihanna (\u201cLift Me Up\u201d from \u201cBlack Panther: Wakanda Forever\u201d), Sofia Carson and Diane Warren (\u201cApplause\u201d from \u201cTell It Like a Woman\u201d), Stephanie Hsu, David Byrne and Son Lux (\u201cThis Is a Life\u201d from \u201cEverything Everywhere All at Once\u201d) and Rahul Sipligunj and Kaala Bhairava (\u201cNaatu Naatu\u201d from \u201cRRR\u201d) are also expected to perform, according to Variety. \n

\n In a year that saw many critically acclaimed films helmed by female directors, the Academy of Motion Picture Arts and Sciences has take heat for failing to nominate any women in the directing category.\n

\n\n

\n \u201cWomen Talking\u201d was nominated in the best picture category, but its director Sarah Polley was shut out.\n

\n\n

\n Other notable names ignored by the Academy: Charlotte Wells for her work on \u201cAftersun,\u201d Maria Schrader for \u201cShe Said,\u201d Gina Prince-Bythewood for \u201cThe Woman King\u201d and Domee Shi, director of the animated Pixar film \u201cTurning Red.\u201d\n

\n It\u2019s one of the most famous trophies in the world.\n

\n\n

\n The Oscar statuette has been honoring the best in film since 1929. But its production \u2014 and materials \u2014 have changed over the years. \n

\n\n

\n Photographer Christopher Payne went behind the scenes to see how each statuette is made.\n

\n\n

\n \u201cFor me what was interesting was seeing this distinctive shape, that we all know and love and recognize, in its various forms leading up to the finished product,\u201d Payne said.\n

\n It may be a favorite to take best film this year, but one of the directors of \u201cEverything Everywhere All at Once\u201d is beseeching fans to show some grace, regardless of the outcome.\n

\n\n

\n Daniel Kwan, who along with Daniel Scheinert\u00a0is nominated in the best director category for the film, posted a series of tweets Saturday on his verified Twitter account which began:\n

\n\n

\n\t \u201cIt has been exactly one year since our film premiered at SXSW. I tried (and failed) to sum up all of my feelings in a far too sincere instagram post you can go and find if you\u2019re curious (or bored).\u201d
\u201cI\u2019m probably going to take a break from social media for after tomorrow,\u201d he tweeted. \u201cThe last thing I ask of any fans of our film is to be gracious and kind tomorrow, especially if we don\u2019t pick up awards that you might have felt we deserved.\u201d\n

\n

\n While noting that he loves \u201cevery one of the films we are up against for different reasons\u201d he added:\n

\n\n \n\n

\n Kwan also took a playful swipe at the critics who have been less supportive.\n

\n\n

\n \u201cP.S. to the people who hate the film with their entire being: I\u2019m sorry we ruined cinema for you forever,\u201d he tweeted. \u201cI hope we can make it up to you on the next one <3.\u201d \n

The red carpet is champagne-colored this year. But why was it red in the first place?

\n
\n \n
\n\n\n

\n The red carpet is ancient \u2013 literally. \n

\n\n

\n The first reference dates back to 458 BC when Greek playwright Aeschylus wrote of a crimson-embroidered path laid by Clytemnestra for her husband Agamemnon to follow on his return from war. \n

\n\n

\n Nice gesture? Far from it. Both had been having affairs, but Clytemnestra didn\u2019t take kindly to her husband bringing his lover back with him. Also, Agamemnon had sacrificed their daughter in a deal with the gods. \n

\n\n

\n The red carpet led into their home, and to Agamemnon being murdered, either by his wife or her lover (accounts vary). \n

\n\n

\n So, the red carpet has bloodthirsty origins. To learn more about how it became adopted by Hollywood, watch the video or read the story on CNN Style.\n

Experts explain why your favorite blockbuster probably won't win best picture

\n\n\n

\n The\u00a0Oscars\u00a0have never been exactly predictable, but Hollywood\u2019s biggest night used to consistently reward crowdpleasers. But over the last two decades, the Oscars have largely avoided rewarding the blockbuster films that once dominated the awards. \n

\n\n

\n Earning a nomination \u2013 and eventually winning \u2013 an Oscar is no easy feat, and many of the biggest box office smashes of the year don\u2019t stand a chance at best picture. And if they\u00a0are\u00a0nominated, like\u00a0\u201cAvatar: The Way of Water,\u201d\u00a0awards prognosticators\u00a0don\u2019t\u00a0expect\u00a0them\u00a0to win.\n

\n\n

\n Here\u2019s why, according to experts in film and award shows:\n

\n\n

\n Best picture voting doesn\u2019t reward risks: For every Oscar category except best picture, the nominee with the most votes wins. But\u00a0Academy members use a preferential ballot\u00a0when voting for the top prize, ranking the nominees in their preferred order. Ballots are whittled down and films are knocked out until one film ranked consistently high across a multitude of ballots remains. Polarizing films have a harder time winning best picture with this system.\n

\n\n

\n Blockbusters have changed: It\u2019s not that Oscars voters are anti-blockbuster \u2013 it\u2019s just that blockbusters today are less original fare than the likes of \u201cE.T.\u201d and \u201cTitanic.\u201d Instead, there are more sequels, reboots, prequels or other variations on familiar IP (intellectual property), experts told CNN, making the Academy less inclined to reward them.\n

\n\n

\n Oscars voters tend to reward \u201cimportant\u201d films: The films that wind up getting nominated for Oscars don\u2019t have much in common these days. Some have a veneer of prestige based on creative teams or source material, while others have indie credibility or the mass approval of audiences \u2013 but Academy voters do tend to reward \u201cimportant\u201d films, said Dave Karger, a Turner Classic Movies host and Entertainment Weekly award correspondent. These films \u201cspeak to the times or offer some kind of social message,\u201d he said. \n

\n Sit back and get comfy while you watch the glitz and glamour of the 95th Oscars. \n

\n\n

\n ABC will broadcast the show starting at 8 p.m. EST. You can also stream the Oscars on Hulu+ Live TV, fubuTV, and DIRECTV Stream.\n

\n\n

\n The Oscar winners in all 23 categories will be revealed live, unlike last year, when several award presentations were prerecorded in an effort to shorten the traditionally lengthy show.\n

\n\n

\n While some are still talking about\u00a0Will Smith slapping Chris Rock\u00a0on stage at the event a year ago, Smith won\u2019t be in attendance on Sunday as he was\u00a0banned from attending the Oscars for the next 10 years.\n

Fashion throwback: Remember this iconic style moment at the 2001 Oscars afterparty?

\n\n\n

\n Bj\u00f6rk\u2019s infamous swan dress may be the first thing that comes to mind when you think about 2001 Oscars fashion, but there\u2019s another ensemble that has become emblematic of the early 2000s:\u00a0Gillian\u00a0Anderson, at the height of \u201cThe X-Files\u201d fame, stepping out for the Vanity Fair afterparty in a backless navy number with a cheeky surprise. \n

\n\n

\n When she turned around, her thong was fully visible, rising up from the ultra-low Eduardo Lucero jersey dress she was wearing.\n

\n\n

\n Anderson\u00a0revealed in 2016 during a panel discussion in Los Angeles that the style choice was a last-minute decision and was made out of necessity. But it was just one of the many visible thongs of the era\u00a0\u2014 from Halle Berry to Rose McGowan \u2014 that made appearances on red-carpet events. \n

\n\n

\n Lately, the trend has resurfaced thanks to Bella Hadid, Alexa Demie and Hailey Bieber, the last of whom\u00a0Anderson\u00a0recognized in a throwback post comparing side-by-side looks.\u00a0\n

\n\n

\n \u201cAnother example of necessity being the mother of invention,\u201d she wrote.\n
