With the 88th Academy Awards just days away, anticipation is building high. Here’s everything you need to know to about this year’s Oscars..
What we really want to know is will six-time nominee Leonardo DiCaprio FINALLY win his much-earned Oscar? Will Alejandro González Iñárritu snag the Best Director award for the second year running? And what will this year’s host Chris Rock have to say about the controversial issue, #OscarsSoWhite? How high will the fashion stakes go on the red carpet? All we can do now is sit back, hold our breaths and wait for the results…
When and where?
The Academy Awards ceremony is on this Sunday 28th February, at the Dolby Theatre in LA, which has hosted the Oscars every year since 2001..
The ceremony kicks off in California at 8.30pm – and due to the time difference it’ll be when we are all sleeping. Well, most of us – if you want to catch it, it will be streamed exclusively by Sky Movies Oscar.
