The 87th annual Academy Awards takes place tonight. Join Hollywood as entertainment’s biggest stars convene to celebrate a night of film, honoring the best performances to hit the big screen in 2014 at the Dolby Theatre at the Hollywood Highland Center in Hollywood, California.
While many critics are pointing to Boyhood and Birdman as the big winners of the night, we’re still hoping for a few surprises. Plus, there are so many other elements to look forward to, including an A-list lineup of performers and presenters, including Zoe Saldaña, Octavia Spencer, Scarlett Johansson, Josh Hutcherson, Oprah Winfrey, Meryl Streep and Marion Cotillard. Last year’s winners, 12 Years a Slave actress Lupita Nyong’o, Jared Leto, Cate Blanchett and Matthew McConaughey will also be on hand to present trophies to the big winners of the night.
The 2015 Oscars, hosted by Neil Patrick Harris, will air live on ABC tonight at 7 p.m. EST. In the meantime, get your nominations refresher before the big show below.
