The Academy Awards are almost here, with Conan O’Brien hosting. “Emilia Pérez” leads with 13 nominations, but its chances are uncertain due to controversy. “The Brutalist” and “Wicked” also have multiple nominations, with strong competition in major categories. Many big stars will present, including Robert Downey Jr., Cillian Murphy, and Oprah Winfrey. Performances are expected from Ariana Grande, Cynthia Erivo, and others. The ceremony airs live on ABC and streams on Hulu, starting at 7 p.m. ET.
