Conan O’Brien hosts the 98th honors for achievements in film broadcast live from the Dolby Theatre at Ovation Hollywood.

Matt Roush says...

Conan O’Brien returns to the Dolby Theater stage to host the ceremony that brings the movie-awards season to its proper climax. Ryan Coogler‘s supernatural smash Sinners is the most-nominated film, with a record 16 nominations, with One Battle After Another amassing the most Best Picture wins in previous contests. They’re the front runners, with the Best Actor category the most hotly contested, featuring Sinners’ Michael B. Jordan (winner of the Actor Award earlier this month), Battle‘s Leonardo DiCaprio, Blue Moon‘s Ethan Hawke, The Secret Agent‘s Wagner Moura, and Marty Supreme‘s Timothée Chalamet, whose recent disparaging comments about opera and ballet feel like self-sabotage. Musical highlights include a salute to Sinners, with Miles Caton and Raphael Saadiq performing “I Lied to You,” joined by Misty Copeland, Buddy Guy, Shaboozey, and others; and a performance of the Oscar-nominated “Golden” from KPop Demon Hunters featuring Ejae, Audrey Nuna, and Rei Ami, the singing voices of HUNTR/X.
