We’re bringing you every moment in real time.
The gowns have been pressed, the speeches rehearsed, and the envelopes sealed. Tonight, the 98th Academy Awards ceremony takes over the Dolby Theatre at Ovation Hollywood, and everyone is holding their collective breath. This year’s race has been anything but predictable: Sinners arrives as a historic frontrunner with a record-breaking 16 nominations, while One Battle After Another, Marty Supreme, and Hamnet each bring their own quiet ferocity to the conversation. With Conan O’Brien returning to host and 24 competitive categories up for grabs—including the brand-new Award for Best Casting—the night promises to be one for the archives.
We’ll be updating this page live as each winner is announced, so bookmark this tab, pour yourself something celebratory, and stay with us. The night is just beginning.
