Actors Riz Ahmed and Allison Williams revealed the 2023 Oscar nominees on Tuesday morning.
The highly anticipated list is a mix of prestige films, blockbusters and international dramas alongside high-profile contenders like “Everything Everywhere All at Once,” “TÁR,” “The Fabelmans,” “Top Gun: Maverick,” “Avatar: The Way of Water,” and “All Quiet on the Western Front” all received nods.
The ceremony will be televised on ABC and will be hosted for the third time by Jimmy Kimmel, who hosted the 2017 and 2018 ceremonies. The show is produced by Glenn Weiss and Ricky Kirshner.
The upcoming ceremony will “return to a show that’s about a love of cinema, international cinema, and diverse artists,” teased Academy CEO Bill Kramer. He added that the 95th Academy Awards will feature some “great legacy surprises. “.
The 95th Annual Academy Awards will be held on Sunday, March 12 at 8 p.m. ABC ET/5pm PT.
The Oscars are one of the film industry’s most prestigious awards ceremonies. Each year, the Academy of Motion Picture Arts and Sciences recognizes outstanding achievement in filmmaking by awarding an Oscar statuette.
Notably, with the exception of a few years during World War II, the Oscars have been presented every year since 1929. At the Dolby Theatre in Hollywood, California, the ceremony usually takes place in late February or early March.
The show is broadcast live on television and is seen by millions of viewers around the world.
Oscar nominees are determined by the voting members of the Academy, which is made up of over 9,000 industry professionals. The voting process will be split in two, with the nominees announced in January and the winners announced at his March awards ceremony.

Oscar: Prestigious Award
The Academy Awards recognize outstanding performances in various categories, including Best Picture, Best Director, Best Actor, Best Supporting Actor, and Best Supporting Actress.
There are also categories for technical achievements, such as Best Cinematography, Best Original Score, and Best Visual Effects.
The Best Picture category is often considered the most prestigious, with past winners including classics such as “The Godfather,” “Schindler’s List,” and “The Lord of the Rings: The Return of the King.”
The Oscar ceremony itself is a star-studded event, with the biggest names in Hollywood walking the red carpet and taking to the stage to present and accept awards. The show also features live performances from some of the world’s biggest musicians, as well as comedic segments and montages celebrating the year in film.
In recent years, the Academy has made a concerted effort to increase diversity and inclusion among its nominees and winners.
The #OscarsSoWhite controversy of 2015, which saw all 20 acting nominees that year being white, prompted the Academy to take steps to diversify its voting membership and increase representation of people of color and other underrepresented groups in the film industry.
The Oscars remain one of the most widely-watched and highly-anticipated awards shows in the entertainment industry, with the ceremony and its nominees and winners often making headlines around the world.
The next Oscars ceremony is set to take place in March 2022, and as always, all eyes will be on the nominees, winners, and all the glitz and glamour that surrounds the event.
