Before the ceremony, Berry had her own moment – recreating her insignificantly known Oscar’s moment in 2003 with Adrien Brody, in which the actor kissed her spontaneously when he went on stage to take his award for Best Actor.
The acquisition of the James Bond franchise was met with sharp criticism from fans, with some claiming, “this is clearly the end of the franchise for long-standing fans of Bond.”
This year, the award ceremony is held tonight (March 2), with comedian Conan O’Brien taking the reins as host.
Emilia Perez leads the nominations this year with 13 nods, while Brutalist and Wicked follow behind with 10 nods each. The papal thriller Conclave and the biographical film about Bob Dylan, Full Unknown, both received eight nods, while Anora follows with six nods.
You can subscribe to the live coverage of the ceremony right here, and the list of winners will be updated throughout the evening.
This year will see changes, including no performances for the Best Original Song, while the 2025 ceremony will also be held in Los Angeles after recent forest fires. Additionally, Harrison Ford withdrew due to illness.
