Looking ahead to Hollywood’s biggest night, the 89th Academy Awards

When broken down politically, 79 percent of Clinton supporters and 66 percent of Trump supporters surveyed said they’ll be watching the event hosted by Jimmy Kimmel.

You can get all of your Oscars red carpet coverage on E! from 6:30pm on Sunday, although the ceremony isn’t available to watch live in Ireland. All you need to do is throw your own stellar watch party.

Sound mixer Kevin O’Connell (Hacksaw Ridge) holds the records for most nominations without a win – 21. The theme is already established. This won’t include the Oscars ceremony, but will feature behind-the-scenes content and interviews.

Lawrence is a good choice, but the best acting by a female previous year – other than Davis’ gut-wrenching work – is Margo Robbie, who played Harley Quinn in Suicide Squad. Liberals in the entertainment industry who want to make the most of their platform should choose their messages carefully, lest they backfire.

There are nine Best Picture nominees – one more than the past two years.

“I’m not only looking for who will probably win the award, but also the categories as a whole”, Esparza told Inverse. And frontrunner La La Land took home the DGA’s top award, which might solidify its Oscar chances.

Mel Gibson’s searing World War II drama “Hacksaw Ridge” marks the filmmaker’s return into Hollywood’s good graces after a decade in the wilderness over accusations of anti-Semitism and homophobic slurs. La La Land is going to dominate. Perhaps the most highly contested award will be Best Actor between Denzel Washington and Manchester by The Sea’s Casey Affleck.

This year’s nominees reflected a push by the Academy to reward diversity after the #OscarsSoWhite controversy of the past two years that prompted calls for a boycott of the annual bash. Who will cause the biggest upset?

Usually Best Director aligns with Best Picture, and that’ll be the case again in 2017, as La La Land director Damien Chazelle is the heavy favorite to pick up the prize.

For best supporting actor, Mr Ali is leading the betting ahead of Dev Patel (“Lion”), Jeff Bridges (“Hell or High Water”), Michael Shannon (“Nocturnal Animals”) and Lucas Hedges (“Manchester by the Sea”). The series still has enough good will that a win in this category wouldn’t come as a surprise. Last year’s odds were seriously against Ex Machina winning Best Visual Effects, but it won.

Get ready to make some popcorn and gawk at Hollywood’s biggest stars: The 89th Academy Awards take place this Sunday. While “Manchester” entered the season as the logical frontrunner, “La La Land’s” winning streak has become intrusive, achieving a tie at the Critics’ Choice Awards and stealing the combined Best Screenplay award at the Golden Globes. By contrast, there are three black nominees in Best Supporting Actress – a first for any acting category – and the likely victor is Viola Davis, who will nearly certainly turn in an Oscar speech to add to the all-time list.

La La Land is amazing but so are these 8 films that were snubbed at the Oscars
