Watch live: Oscars get underway as 98th Academy Awards held in Los Angeles


Watch a live feed from Los Angeles as the Oscars take place on Sunday, 15 March, at the Dolby Theatre.

The 98th Academy Awards has seen Sinners become the most nominated film ever. Its 16 nominations broke a record set by All About Eve, Titanic and La La Land’s 14.

Marty Supreme, Frankenstein, and Sentimental Value scored nine, while Hamnet secured eight.

Both One Battle After Another and Sinners could secure Warner Bros. a record haul as the studio prepares for its sale to Netflix.

Timothee Chalamet’s recognition in the Best Actor category saw him become the youngest actor to receive three nominations in the category since Marlon Brando in 1954.

Jessie Buckley has been widely tipped to win Best Actress for her performance as William Shakespeare’s wife Agnes, historically known as Anne, in Hamnet.

The Irish actor is the only star in the race who has steamrolled through all the previous ceremonies, racking up an impressive array of hardware, for her performance in the film about the death of Shakespeare’s young son.

The ceremony, with Conan O’Brien returning as host, will be televised live on ABC and Hulu.

I studied medicine at Trinity College, Oxford, and qualified as a doctor. There are already many excellent blogs exploring faith, humanism, atheism, politics, rationalism, philosophical doubt and everything in between. But I don't intend to limit myself to any particular subject. This is simply a space where I'll share whatever comes to mind, whether it's something I've been thinking about for years or just a passing thought from the day.
