If you're an Oscars fan, you won't need any extra incentive to tune in to the ceremony on Monday.
But on top of the red carpet, the awards and counting the number of references to last year's "big slap", there's also the possibility of some interesting records being broken.
After all, we're closing in on the 100th Oscars (pencil that in for 2028) so there's plenty of history to look at and dissect.
Here are a few key films and awards to watch out for.
If Everything Everywhere All at Once wins every Oscar all at once…
This might be a long shot, but Everything Everywhere All at Once (EEAAO) is the only film this year with a chance at breaking some big records.
There hasn't been a major sweep at the Oscars in a while. The most wins since The Lord of the Rings: The Return of the King won all 11 of its nominations in 2003 was Slumdog Millionaire with eight wins in 2009, and Gravity with seven wins in 2013.
EEAAO has 11 nominations and would equal Return Of The King's clean-sweep record if it can win them all, and would also equal Ben Hur and Titanic for most wins.
And while that may seem fanciful, it's worth noting EEAAO has won at least one gong at other awards ceremonies this season in each of the Oscar categories it's nominated in.
If Avatar: The Way Of Water wins Best Picture…
The current record-holder for highest-grossing Best Picture winner is Titanic, which has taken a staggering $2.195 billion at the worldwide box office since it came out in 1997.
But director James Cameron is well-placed to break his own record if his Avatar sequel wins best picture.
Avatar: The Way Of Water recently surpassed Titanic in the worldwide box office stakes, and while it's not a favourite to win, stranger things have happened.
If All Quiet On The Western Front wins Best Picture…
It's easy (and fun) to slag off remakes, but there have been quite a few Best Picture nominees that either share source material or are different versions of the same story.
For example, Shakespeare's Romeo and Juliet has inspired four Best Picture-nominated films, including two direct adaptations and two versions of West Side Story, with the original West Side Story the only Best Picture winner among them.
My Fair Lady is the only one of these "revised versions" to have won after a previous nomination for Pygmalion in 1938.
But if All Quiet On The Western Front can win Best Picture it will be the first time an original and a remake have both claimed that Oscar.
It would also be only the second non-English language film to win Best Picture after Parasite's win in 2019.
The acting awards
The interesting thing with the acting categories this year is two films have four nominations.
The last time there were two films with at least four noms in acting in the same year was in 1967, when Bonnie and Clyde (five acting nominations for one win) and Guess Who's Coming To Dinner (four acting nominations for one win) battled it out.
The Banshees of Inisherin has four nominations across three acting categories (the double-up is in Best Supporting Actor), and EEAAO is the same (its double-up is in Best Supporting Actress).
Only two films have ever won three acting awards at one ceremony (A Streetcar Named Desire and Network), but Banshees and EEAAO both have a chance to equal that.
And draws have happened, so technically one of the films could walk away with four acting Oscars, but let's keep the crazy hypotheticals to a minimum.
But what about our Cate and our Catherine?
It feels like Cate Blanchett and Catherine Martin are in the running at every Academy Awards, and win regularly.
But they've still got a ways to go in terms of record-breaking Oscar achievements.
If Cate Blanchett wins the Best Actress gong for Tár it will be her third Oscar, putting her in the rarefied company of Meryl Streep, Ingrid Bergman, Jack Nicholson, Daniel Day-Lewis, Frances McDormand and Walter Brennan, who also have three acting Oscars.
But that's still one short of the legendary Katharine Hepburn, who has four acting Oscars, and whom Blanchett portrayed in The Aviator to win Best Supporting Actress in 2004.
As for Catherine Martin, she's nominated for three Oscars for her work on Elvis (Best Costume Design, Best Production Design, Best Picture), and if she wins all three she'll have a total of seven wins from nine nominations, which would be very impressive.
This will leave her one short of the record for most Academy Awards won by a woman — acclaimed costume designer Edith Head holds that record.
Winning three Oscars in one year is nothing to be sneezed at though — Walt Disney won four in 1953, but only 11 other people have three in a year, so Martin will be in good company there as well.
She would also be the first person to win three Oscars without winning Best Director if she managed to claim all three.
But keep an eye on the Best Cinematography category — if Mandy Walker wins for Elvis, she will be the first Australian woman to win that Oscar (which has been won by seven Australian men previously).
