“Flow,” an ecological parable about a cat in a flooded world, was the first Oscar ever for a Latvian film.

“Wicked” stars Ariana Grande and Cynthia Erivo kicked off the ceremony with a tribute to Los Angeles following the wildfires that devastated the Southern California metropolis earlier this year .

Conan O’Brien , hosting for the first time, avoided any political commentary in his opening remarks.

For the first time, an actor is nominated for playing the sitting U.S. president.

The political tenor of this year ’s ceremony could be volatile.

The Oscars are unspooling after a turbulent year for the film industry.

Ticket sales were down 3% from the previous year and more significantly from pre-pandemic times.
