This delivery ceremony of the 2022 Oscars remains a vivid memory for audiences worldwide. While CODA’s triumph and Jane Campion’s victory as best director for The Power of the Dog drew praise, it was the onstage moment between Will Smith and Chris Rock that dominated conversations. In 2023, the Academy appears intent on shifting focus back to the art itself and rebuilding the celebratory spirit of cinema.
Beyond the buzz of the red carpet, fans are watching to see whether Everything Everywhere All at Once will meet predictions and claim the year’s most coveted accolades. The film is in contention for eleven awards across major categories, though it does not guarantee a win in every field on the night of March 12. By contrast, Alcarrás, which opened with eleven nominations in the previous Goya Awards, faced a different fate. The storytelling landscape across ceremonies continues to surprise audiences and critics alike.
To ensure no detail is missed from the evening, a comprehensive rundown of candidates across categories follows.
