EDITOR’S NOTE: Join us live on Sunday at the Oscars, as Variety and CNN team up on the red carpet.
Los Angeles
—
The time has come crown some Oscar winners.
The 98th Academy Awards are set to roll out Sunday in the heart of Hollywood, with funnyman Conan O’Brien on tap to host the proceedings for the second year in a row.
The leadup to this year’s edition of the Oscars has been anything but standard, with disdain for ballet and hatred of housecats adding some zany conversation to a wide-open race.
While it’s, of course, anyone’s guess who will take home Oscar gold, two films in particular have emerged as frontrunners, both steeped in prestige: Ryan Coogler’s “Sinners,” a period vampire thriller that celebrates the origins of Blues music and southern Black culture, and “One Battle After Another” from now 14-time Oscar nominee Paul Thomas Anderson. His latest follows a washed-up revolutionary battling old foes for the safety of his daughter, and pointedly comments on the immigrant experience in the US. Both films come from CNN’s parent company Warner Bros. Discovery.
Oscar night is sure to be an interesting one, with guests and nominees coming from far and wide, including the filmmakers behind two films of Iranian origin that are up for big awards.
