Oscars 2023: All you need to know from the Oscars nominees to how to watch them live

Awards season is well and truly underway, with the Golden Globes kicking things off earlier this month. The red carpet was packed with A-listers, and there were a number of viral moments - from Jennifer Coolidge's iconic acceptance speech, to Andrew Garfield and Amelia Dimoldenberg's 'awkward British flirting'.

But there's one moment that everyone - the Hollywood elite and film fans alike - have been waiting for: the 2023 Academy Awards nominees list. 

This year, there are a number of actors and directors vying for that coveted golden statuette, and movies that have been rumoured to be in the running - and now we know exactly where each Oscar may be going come 12 March. 

There are some nominations that probably won't shock too many people - Baz Luhrmann's Elvis and James Cameron's Avatar: The Way of Water are both up for Best Picture - and in the acting categories, Austin Butler and Paul Mescal are up for consideration, as are Cate Blanchett and Ana de Armas.

However, it hasn't been without controversy. Many have noted that the Best Director category is lacking any female representation with five male nominees, and the Academy has seemingly 'snubbed' popular contenders like Viola Davis, Paul Dano and Tom Hanks - as well as leaving a Babylon shaped hole in the Best Picture category. 

From where and when the Oscars 2023 will take place, the host, as well as the all-important nominations, we have all you need to know. 

When are the Oscars 2023?

The Oscars 2023 - also known as the 95th Academy Awards - will take place on 12 March 2023. 

The ceremony will be held at the Dolby Theatre in Los Angeles, which is the usual location for the film honours over the last 20 years - except for the coronavirus pandemic in 2021.

How to watch the Oscars 2023?

For those wanting to watch the Oscars 2023 in the UK may struggle as the awards ceremony will kick off at 8 pm Eastern Time on 12 March, which is 1 am on 13 March for those in the UK.

The ceremony will last a few hours, which means watching live will be an all-nighter - almost. 

Die-hard movie buffs in the UK can watch the ceremony on Sky Cinema's dedicated Oscars channel, or on a highlights reel on Sky Max post-Oscars. 

Full coverage of the 95th Academy Awards will be streamed via NOW, which is ideal for those with a NOW Sky Cinema Pass. 

Those watching stateside can view the ceremony on ABC live. 

Who will host the Oscars 2023?

There is always much speculation over who will host the awards ceremonies, and this year presenter and chat show host Jimmy Kimmel has been confirmed to host the Oscars 2023. 

Jimmy first hosted the Oscars back in 2018, and will return on 12 March to helm the ceremony for a third time. 

Previous recognisable names who have hosted the Oscars include actor Steve Martin, Chris Rock, Ellen DeGeneres, as well as many more.
