The 2023 Oscars are finally upon us, following an interesting, and sometimes surprising, awards season.
While the award ceremonies that take place in the run-up to the Academy Awards normally hint at who will take home the Oscars for each category, this year there has been some variety in the main-prize recipients.
Both Colin Farrell, for The Banshees of Inisherin, and Brendan Fraser, for The Whale, have had success in the lead actor categories, while Michelle Yeoh, for Everything Everywhere All At Once, has proved a competitor for Cate Blanchett, for Tár, in the race for leading actress.

Jimmy Kimmel, who hosted the Academy Awards in 2017 and 2019, is reprising his role for the 2023 Oscars, which is the 95th annual ceremony.
All eyes will be on the ceremony of the infamous incident last year that saw Will Smith walk on stage and slap presenter Chris Rock after the comedian made a joke about his wife, Jada Pinkett Smith.
The incident resulted in Smith being banned from Academy events for 10 years and, ahead of Sunday's ceremony, Kimmel has joked about what he would do if there was "another slap."
Speaking to The Hollywood Reporter, the late night talk show host said: "You mean, if somebody comes up on the stage and slaps me? Well, I size them up, and, if I'm bigger than they are, I beat the s*** out of them on television."
"And if it's the Rock, I run," he added.

Alongside Kimmel as host, actors Halle Berry, Harrison Ford, Pedro Pascal, Riz Ahmed, Halle Bailey, Antonio Banderas and Elizabeth Banks have been confirmed as ceremony presenters.
Emily Blunt, Jessica Chastain, John Cho, Glenn Close, Michael B. Jordan, Dwayne Johnson and Mindy Kaling will also be presenters during the 2023 Oscars.
Though the star-studded ceremony is taking place at the Dolby Theater in Los Angeles, fans don't have to be there in person to catch all the action.
