What are the Oscars?

The Academy Awards (A.K.A. “the Oscars”) is an annual awards ceremony in which the Academy of Motion Picture Arts and Sciences (AMPAS) rewards outstanding film work. First started in 1929, the Oscars are considered to be the most prestigious awards ceremony event in the film industry.

What to expect at the 2023 Academy Awards (Oscars):

Here’s everything we know about the 2023 Oscars so far:

Who's hosting the 2023 Oscars?

After the big drama between Will Smith and last year’s host, comedian Chris Rock at the 2022 Oscars – the Academy has gone in another direction for 2023. This year we’ll see former Oscars host circa 2017 and 2018, Jimmy Kimmel, make his valiant return to host the 2023 Oscars.

Who's presenting at the 2023 Oscars?

Riz Ahmed, Emily Blunt, Glenn Close, Jennifer Connelly, Ariana DeBose, Samuel L. Jackson, Dwayne Johnson, Michael B. Jordan, Troy Kotsur, Jonathan Majors, Melissa McCarthy, Janelle Monáe, Deepika Padukone, Questlove, Zoe Saldaña and Donnie Yen will present at the 2023 Oscars.

Who’s performing at the 2023 Oscars: Rihanna, Lady Gaga & more

As always, there were some epic performances at this year’s Academy Awards ceremony. 

Rihanna performs at the 2023 Oscars:

Good news for any Rihanna fans! It appears that BadGalRiRi will be backing up her recent Super Bowl halftime show performance with a performance at the 2023 Oscars. 

Rihanna’s recent halftime show performance not only marked her return to the stage following her four-year hiatus – it also served as the perfect opp to announce her second pregnancy to the world.

The singer performed her first-ever Oscar-nominated song, “Lift Me Up”, which was featured in the ‘Black Panther: Wakanda Forever’ film soundtrack at the 95th Academy Awards.

Stripped-back Lady Gaga performance at 95th Academy Awards:

The legendary Lady Gaga also performed at this year’s Oscars. She sang a stripped-back version of "Hold My Hand" from ‘Top Gun: Maverick’.

Gaga’s performance at the 95th Academy Awards was raw, emotional – and without all the theatrical costumes and stage makeup we know and love her for.

Who won the “big five” Oscars last year?

Here’s a look at who won the “top five” awards at the 2022 Academy Awards:

  • Best Picture: ‘CODA’
  • Best Director: Jane Campion for ‘The Power of the Dog’
  • Best Actor: Will Smith for ‘King Richard’
  • Best Actress: Jessica Chastain for ‘The Eyes of Tammy Faye’
  • Best Screenplay: Kenneth Branagh
