The 2023 Academy Awards aimed to shift focus back to the art itself after a year filled with headlines. While the CODA triumph and Jane Campion’s director nod were memorable moments, the evening centered on performances, films, and the craft that drives cinema. The show drew attention to Will Smith, Chris Rock, and a broader conversation about film’s enduring impact on audiences around the world.
Fans eagerly awaited whether Everything Everywhere All at Once would surpass forecasts and claim the year’s most honored feature. The prestige film is in contention for eleven statues across major categories, though wins are never guaranteed. This mirrors the prior edition of the Goyas, where Alcarrás opened with eleven nominations yet walked away with no trophies in the end, underscoring the unpredictable nature of awards season.
To ensure nobody misses a moment of the gala, here is a comprehensive rundown of the top nominees across categories.
