Caffeinated energy drinks at the ready! Sunday is Hollywood’s biggest night of the year – and quite possibly the longest night of the year for those of us in the UK who plan to stay awake for it. Yes, the Oscars are upon us, and the Guardian has you covered as you swot up on this year’s ceremony.
We’ve got guides to the best picture, actor, actress and director races, and our annual hustings, where Guardian writers go to bat for the best picture nominees (I backed The Brutalist). Plus deep dives into the anonymous Oscar ballots, the annual class photo and even the goody bags attenders at the ceremony will receive. Want even more? Rachael Healy gets the full red carpet makeover, this award season’s speeches are scrutinised, there’s a piece looking at why religion was the year’s big theme and there’s a roundup of the Oscar-baity films that didn’t get nominated this year.
