Oscars 2023 winners
95th Academy Awards were hosted by Jimmy Kimmel for what is the biggest night in showbiz.
The Academy of Motion Picture Arts and Sciences is one of the most prestigious moments in the cinematic calendar, and the 95th edition of the Oscars looks set to be one of the most lavish ever. As the greatest of the industry descend upon Los Angeles for the event, we’ll be bringing you the complete list of winners.
There are a host of films, directors and actors who will be eyeing up taking home the gold statuette. Fan-favourite sci-fi flick Everything Everywhere All at Once leads the pack of 2023 nominees with 11 nominations, including ‘Best Picture’, ‘Best Director’, ‘Best Original Screenplay’ and ‘Best Leading Actress’ for Michelle Yeoh.
Another big-hitting movie that will be hoping for a good night is the Netflix anti-war film All Quiet on the Western Front, based on the book by Erich Maria Remarque. There will also be high hopes in the camp for the Martin McDonagh movie The Banshees of Inisherin; it has the opportunity to take home nine awards.
The Banshees of Inisherin swept up in the acting categories, with all of the main cast members snatching a nomination for their incredible performances. The ensemble includes Colin Farrell, Brendan Gleeson, Barry Keoghan and Kerry Condon, with each actor picking up a nomination in their respective categories, ‘Best Leading Actor’, ‘Best Supporting Actor’ and ‘Best Supporting Actress’.
However, as ever, the night’s biggest prize is ‘Best Picture’. In that category, there are potential wins for the Sarah Polley-helmed movie Women Talking. Polley’s film joins fellow surprise nominee Triangle of Sadness, Ruben Östlund’s satire of the super-rich, which won the Palme d’Or in 2022.
It’s not just arthouse pictures taking the lead, however, with both Top Gun: Maverick and James Cameron’s Avatar: The Way of Water becoming the second and third films to cross the billion-dollar mark after the start of the Covid-19 pandemic and becoming ‘Best Picture’ contenders at the same time.
The 95th Oscars Awards ceremony goes ahead at the Dolby Theater in Hollywood, Los Angeles, on March 12th and is set to commence at 8pm ET / 5 pm PT and 1am in the UK.
This article will be updated live as the winners come in.

Inside the lavish $126k gift bag
Some say that an Oscars statuette is the most valued item in Hollywood and one of the most coveted for launching or capping a career. The faux gold statue isn’t taxed as income, but all those pricey luxury goods advertisers hand out to stars? You guessed it, they are taxable income. And the gifts are expensive, about $126,000 worth this year. At the 37% IRS tax rate, that’s $46,620. California-based stars will have to pay California’s up to 13.3% tax too, another $16k or so. That’s up to $63,378 in state and federal taxes.
That tax bill might make you think twice about grabbing the free gear. Distinctive Assets puts together and hands out the bags, with the user-friendly name “Everybody Wins” to nominees in acting and directing categories. The swag offering this year includes over 60 gifts, small and large, including a three-night stay at The Lifestyle in Canada worth $40,000. If you want to look your best, how about a $12,000 arm liposuction procedure from Dr. Thomas Su? Or a private hair restoration consultation with hair transplant surgeon Dr. Alan J. Bauman valued at $7,000? Then there is up to $10,000 worth of procedures from Dr. Konstantin Vasyukevich, including chemical peels, laser skin resurfacing and Botox.
Not all the freebies are about appearance of course, but luxury is the theme. You don’t have to accept all the gifts or use all the vouchers, but whatever you do accept comes with a tax bill. Even the IRS website tells you that gift bags are taxable income. And there’s an IRS Form 1099 to remind the stars and their accountants to report the ‘free’ gifts. Even for celebrities, the allure of free stuff is hard to resist. Companies pay promoters to place their gear in gift bags so stars will use it, hopefully somewhere on camera. The companies pay a $6k fee to donate the goodies, and nominees get the pricey items for free.
