Grab your popcorn and settle in for Hollywood’s big night: it’s the 98th Academy Awards! We’ve got some genuinely exciting Oscars races in play, with most of the major categories still too close to call, including Best Film and Best Actor. The movies vying for those all-important trophies include black-comic political thriller One Battle After Another, period drama-cum-vampire horror Sinners, family saga Sentimental Value, and wrenching literary adaptation Hamnet.
The actors hoping to make a tearful speech on the Dolby Theatre stage about how humbled and blessed they are include Timothée Chalamet, Jessie Buckley, Michael B Jordan, Sean Penn, Stellan Skarsgård, Wunmi Musaku and Amy Madigan. Follow along with The Telegraph’s team as we bring you all the live action, from red carpet glamour to jaw-dropping wins, plus returning host Conan O’Brien’s best topical zingers… He has already quipped that the Dolby Theatre should be called the “has a small penis theatre”, adding “Let him put his name in front of that”, in reference to Trump muscling in on Washington’s Kennedy Centre.
