When do the Oscars start? Here's how to watch the 2023 Academy Awards

The biggest night in Hollywood is finally here.

Following the star-studded SAG Awards and the Golden Globes, awards season makes its big finale with the Oscars.

Which nominees will win an Academy Award, the most coveted honor for movies? Favorites to win include "The Banshees of Inisherin" and the cast of "Everything, Everywhere All At Once" following sweeps at previous shows.

Jimmy Kimmel is hosting the 95th Oscars ceremony, with a long list of presenters and performers taking the stage too. His monologue is likely to reference the biggest moment at the Oscars last year, and one of the most conversation-starting moments in the award show's history: When Will Smith slapped presenter Chris Rock.

Other anticipated moments include Rihanna performing "Lift Me Up," for which she is nominated for best original song, and potential record-breaking moments.
