Oscars 2023: Last News

He’s won Best Picture and Best Director, but now Guillermo del Toro can add the Academy Award for Best Animated Feature Film to his trophy case. “Guillermo del Toro’s Pinocchio” beat out a very competitive field to take the Oscar and became just the second stop-motion animated film to take the honor after “Wallace & Gromit: The Curse of the Were-Rabbit” in 2005.

In an awards season dominated by Oscars rules discussion and the multiversal “Everything Everywhere All at Once,” the night is finally here. We finally get the chance to see if Daniels’ ‘EEAAO’ will win the coveted Best Picture trophy or if this will be a night of surprises and upsets.

Elvis” accent at the Oscars on Sunday — much to the chagrin of fans tired of hearing his take on the southern drawl.Live from the champagne carpet, Butler told ABC that being at the Oscars as a nominee “feels like an impossible dream” and he has to “pinch himself.”“Every time I get up in front of people as myself I’m nervous,” he added with his Elvis flare.Fans, however, would have prefer Butler just be himself vocally, with many poking fun on Twitter.“Austin Butler still has a hint of that accent and I’m gonna shove him into a locker,” wrote one Twitter user.“Sorry not sorry, but it’s so cringe to listen to Austin Butler speak with the Elvis accent,” chimed in another.One even joked: “take a shot every time austin butler uses the elvis accent tonight.”At least one fan was impressed he was still putting on the accent, writing: “austin butler deserves an oscar simply for not losing that damn accent.”E! red carpet host Laverne Cox asked Butler what his favorite part of “embodying” Elvis was since he has previously said the character “became a part of fiber of [his] being.”The actor responded that he feels like a different man after the process and it’s hard to pick just one thing “because it’s such a part of my life.”The 31-year-old California native was nominated for Best Actor for playing the King of Rock ‘n’ Roll in Baz Luhrmann’s “Elvis.”Butler’s voice has a noticeably deeper pitch since he performed in the drama, which premiered at the Cannes Film Festival in May 2022.“The Carrie Diaries” alum said he spent over two years prepping for the performance, not even seeing his family for a long time as he immersed himself in the role.He explained in June 2022 how he couldn’t get rid of Elvis’ famous Southern baritone

Academy Awards. The British actor was interviewed by model and ABC Oscars red carpet host Ashley Graham, 35, whose attempts to ask him a series of stock-standard questions were met seeming contempt.Grant was seen rolling his eyes at the end of the awkward interview, prompting one viewer to describe the star as “a total a–hole.”“Is Hugh Grant just an arrogant d–k all the time?” another asked. “He was so rude to Ashley Graham on the red carpet, complete with an eye roll.

Academy Awards’ organizers for replacing the classic Oscars red carpet.At Sunday night’s ceremony, celebrities walked a “champagne” colored carpet at the Dolby Theater in Hollywood after exes decided to shake things up for the first time in more than 60 years. However, armchair pundits were less than impressed with the drastic change, taking to Twitter to fume over the carpeting.

Oscars red carpet.Hong, 94, walked the champagne-colored carpet wearing a bowtie with googly eyes — an ode to the movie.He portrays Gong Gong in the film, the father of Michelle Yeoh’s character, Evelyn Quan Wang.Googly eyes play a big role in “Everything Everywhere All At Once” — and might have even caused a shortage at Michaels arts stores.Yeoh’s character initially is annoyed at her husband’s obsession with sticking googly eyes everywhere and rejects all his attempts to bring joy and humor into their lives.But Evelyn ends up growing an appreciation toward them, putting one on her forehead during the film’s climactic fight scene.The googly eyes represent existentialism and the human desire to create meaning in their lives.“Everything Everywhere All At Once” has been cleaning up in the 2023 awards season, with 11 Oscar nominations and winning two Golden Globe Awards.

“Triangle of Sadness,” paid tribute to the late actress Charlbi Dean ahead of the 2023 award show.Dean died last August at a New York City hospital after getting bacterial sepsis. She was 32.The South African actress starred as the lead character, a spoiled influencer named Yaya, in “Triangle of Sadness,” which is up for awards in three categories tonight.“She was a trouper, a very easygoing, cool person,” Hemmendorff told the Hollywood Reporter in an interview ahead of the ceremony.Reflecting back on making the Ruben Östlund-directed movie, Hemmendorff said that Dean immediately came to his mind when they were casting the film. “So we got a hold of her and asked her, ‘Would you come to Sweden for two days because we are not going to give you a role if you don’t do a real casting with Ruben at our office,'” the producer explained.

at the awards show after all.Just a few days after Oscars producer Glenn Weiss said that Gaga will not be performing at the ceremony, a source close to production confirmed to The Associated Press that she will actually be singing “Hold My Hand” from “Top Gun: Maverick.”The addition of Gaga means all of this year’s nominees for Best Original Song will be performing at the Academy Awards.Other nominees who will perform this year include Rihanna (“Lift Me Up”), Sofia Carson and Diane Warren (“Applause”), Stephanie Hsu, David Byrne and Son Lux (“This Is a Life”) and Rahul Sipligunj and Kaala Bhairava (“Naatu Naatu”).It was reported earlier that the “Poker Face” singer had to turn down the offer to perform due to scheduling conflicts, Weiss confirmed Wednesday during the Oscars Creative Team press conference.“We invited all five nominees. We have a great relationship with Lady Gaga and her camp.

with his performance as the King in “Elvis,” and who’s nominated for Best Actor at the Oscars on Sunday.The kid’s on the brink of the big-big-time, right when the industry needs it badly. For more than a decade, Hollywood has searched in vain for worthy successors to Tom Cruise, Brad Pitt and Leonardo DiCaprio while trade publications have mourned the death of the old-school Leading Man. Our former heartthrobs can still sell tickets (see: “Top Gun: Maverick”), but they are getting long in the tooth and caring less and less about the state of their beards.While plenty of great young actors are on the rise, there’s no cultural consensus around most of them. Timothée Chalamet, 27, is a major talent and has rapidly become a film fixture, but has so far preferred prestige films (“Dune” is as arthouse as science-fiction gets) by filmmakers such as Luca Guadagnino and Wes Anderson, whose work most Americans don’t know or go out of their way to see.Smiley Eddie Redmayne and Andrew Garfield are quirky if good-looking and respectable Brits (Garfield, who has a British accent, is technically British-American) and already, respectively, 41 and 39.

Sunday at the Academy Awards. We take you through the process of getting that golden statuette into a winner’s hand — this is how Oscar voting works:The Academy of Motion Picture Arts and Sciences boasts some 10,000-plus members, divided among 17 branches. All academy members have to be involved in the movie business in some capacity, but membership isn’t restricted to creatives — there are branches for executives and marketing and public relations professionals, as well.While nominations are mostly decided by members of the relevant branch (directors nominate directors, for instance), all voting members can nominate films for best picture.

the most — unhinged, unexpected moments in the prestigious show’s 94-year history. “Jada, I love you. ‘GI Jane 2,’ can’t wait to see you,” Rock quipped about Jada Pinkett Smith’s bald head while presenting an award — prompting Smith to run onstage and strike him.

a positive light, lamenting that the “literal propaganda,” as he described it, is “poised to become canonized as a highly decorated film.”The Academy Awards are on Sunday. The action flick, which almost single-handedly recharged the dwindling film industry after the stagnation caused by COVID-19 lockdowns, has been nominated for six Oscars, including “Best Picture.”Aleem revealed he was not as pleased with the film as millions of American movie goers. Though he admitted it was “a breath of fresh air to see dazzling live-action aerial combat scenes involving real actors (trained to withstand G forces by real pilots) and (mostly) real planes,” the columnist slammed it for being “as insidious as it is entertaining.”He declared it is insidious because of its overt pride for the American military, saying, “it also beckons for a return to accepting the American war machine as a beacon of virtue and excitement.”Aleem added, “It’s a poisonous kind of nostalgia, one that smuggles love of endless war into a celebration of live action.”The columnist reduced the film about patriotism, family, and U.S.

“Top Gun: Maverick” — nominated for six Academy Awards, including best picture — has a dark secret. The blockbuster, which celebrates the scrappy nature of US fighter pilots flying dangerous missions to keep the world safe, is being targeted for being funded in part by a Russian oligarch named Dmitry Rybolovlev, who is close to the Kremlin and sanctioned by Ukraine. In an open letter to the Academy, the Ukrainian World Congress, which represents Ukrainian expats around the world, expressed its “serious concerns over Russia’s influence on the Hollywood film industry.”The letter circulated last week during the final days of voting for the Oscars. Rybolovlev, 56, is no stranger to controversy.He maintained his innocence while spending a year in a Russian jail in the 1990sfor a murder he was later acquitted of.In 2008, during the economic recession, Rybolovlev, via a trust, paid $95 million for Donald Trump’s Palm Beach mansion.

Will Smith slapped Chris Rock during the live broadcast last year.During the ceremony, a “crisis team” will be poised to intervene should anything unanticipated occur, Bill Kramer, the CEO of the Academy of Motion Picture Arts and Sciences, told Time last month.“We have a whole crisis team, something we’ve never had before, and many plans in place,” he said. “We’ve run many scenarios.

“Oscar Wars” (HarperCollins), Michael Schulman reports on nearly a century of history and ignominy: from SAG boycotts, blacklists, bankruptcy and corruption to streakers, sex pests, racism and high embarrassment — not to mention certain slap-happy actors.“What are the Academy Awards, anyway?” he writes. “They’re an industry party—like a convention of landscapers, but with better outfits.

spectacularly slapped by Will Smith at last year’s Academy Awards, but it’s the Duke and Duchess of Sussex who could be getting their own smackdown at the 2023 Oscars. A public relations expert believes that Prince Harry and Meghan Markle may be roasted by big names at the ceremony, set to take place this Sunday, March 12, in Los Angeles. While the privacy-conscious couple won’t be in attendance at the glitzy event, PR guru Matt Yanofsky said there’s a good chance they’ll still be referenced on Hollywood’s big night.

Considering the breathless ease of “Everything Everywhere All At Once’s” award season so far, it’s sort of remarkable how many categories are up for grabs when the Academy Awards begin on Sunday evening. Oscar’s top prize is pretty much all locked up and should reward A24 with their second Best Picture win in less than 12 years of existence.

Typically, the discussion surrounding an Oscars category is littered with people figuring out who campaigned the most, which nominee has picked up enough other awards, and who deserves it more than the rest. But in the case of the 2023 Oscars Best Actress category, the awards discussion has been dominated by rules.

Oscars host Jimmy Kimmel took a swipe at the Golden Globes in a new interview with Rolling Stone — and the Hollywood Foreign Press Association hit back.Kimmel, 55, was asked about the “no-holds-barred roast” approach to hosting award shows — popularized by Ricky Gervais at the Golden Globes — and if it’s “representative of a growing hostility toward celebrity.”“I think there’s always been hostility toward celebrities,” Kimmel declared in the conversation published Wednesday.“First of all, the Golden Globes is not a real awards show. Let’s be honest.

The 95th Academy Awards are just a few days away and the producers of the Oscars held a virtual press conference where they discussed the themes of the telecast (the goal is to “humanize” the craftspeople) and how Jimmy Kimmel has been more locked in than previous hosts. They also took some questions from the press including The Playlist And, yes, we asked whether Lady Gaga will perform during the telecast and, unfortunately, we have some bad news.

Hollywood Reporter.“But not because of Hollywood,” she clarified, saying that it’s a “new chapter” because her grandchildren are growing up. “Those things, for me, are the priority,” she said.
