Hollywood finalizes preparations for the 95th edition of the Oscars with a ceremony that seeks to attract new audiences and in which the films “Everything at once everywhere” and “All Quiet Front” start as favorites.

He temporary that whips The Angels (California, USA) has not prevented the preparation work from being carried out at the doors of the Dolby Theater and by Saturday the carpet on which the stars will parade had already been rolled out, which for the first time is champagne color instead of red.

This year the Hollywood Academy has made a special effort to attract a wider audience. Thus, among the presenters there will be established actors such as Glenn Close and Samuel L. Jackson as well as the most popular and viral celebrities of the moment: the Chilean Pedro Pascal, the British Florence Pugh and the American Halle Bailey, among others.

In addition, the musical performance of the super pop star is expected Rihanna who has strongly resumed her musical career since her appearance at the Super Bowl, after years away from the industry.

The favorites

The 11 nominations to tape “Everything at once everywhere“, by Daniel Kwan and Daniel Scheinert, as well as the number of awards it has won this season, place it as a favourite. The low-budget film starring actors of Asian origin could win the best film title and unseat to living legends of film history like Steven Spielberg, who competes with “The Fabelmans“, and James Cameron, with the second part of “Avatar“.

The fight will be difficult, since the anti-war film “No news at the front“, by Edward Berger, and “Banshees by Inisherin“, by Martin McDonagh, both winners of renowned industry awards, are hot on the heels with nine nominations.

And the second part of the film starring and produced by Tom Cruise has also entered the pools “Top Gun: Maverick“.

In Spielberg’s words, Cruise’s film “saved Hollywood’s ass” by returning to theaters an audience that had retreated at home watching streaming movies due to the covid-19 pandemic, so it is believed that this gratitude could be reflected in the voting of its members.

This year’s competition is also an opportunity for justice to be done to several neglected actors in Hollywood, such as brendan fraserwho is competing for best actor for “The Whale”, and Ke Huy Quanwho is fighting for the title of best supporting actor with “Everything at once everywhere.”

Colin Farrel (“Inisherin’s Banshees”), Paul Mescal (“Aftersun”) and Austin Butler (“Elvis”) are also fighting for their first statuette.

The fight for the statuette to the best actress is carried out by Andrea Riseborough (“To Leslie”), michelle yeoh (“Everything at once everywhere”) and cate blanchett.

The gala will begin at 01:00 a.m. peninsular time (5:00 p.m. in Los Angeles). The famous “red carpet”, the celebrity parade, will start two hours earlier.
