Want to be among the first to know if Rihanna, Lady Gaga and/or Taylor Swift are nominated for best original song at the 2023 Academy Awards? You’ll have to get up bright and early on Tuesday, Jan. 24 — especially if you’re on the West Coast. But if you’re willing, here’s what you need to know.
Nominations in all 23 categories will be announced in a global livestream beginning at 8:30 a.m. ET (yep, that translates to 5:30 a.m. PT).
The presentation will stream on Oscar.com, Oscars.org and the Academy’s digital platforms (TikTok, Twitter, YouTube, Facebook), as well as on broadcast and streaming news programs including ABC’s Good Morning America, ABC News Live and Disney+.
Actor-producer Riz Ahmed and actress Allison Williams will host the announcement in a live presentation from the Academy’s Samuel Goldwyn Theater in Beverly Hills, Calif. Ahmed won an Oscar last year for short film (live action) for The Long Goodbye. He was nominated for best actor two years ago for Sound of Metal. Williams is best known for her roles in the 2017 film Get Out and the new viral horror hit M3GAN.
Here are the categories that will be announced starting at 5:30 a.m. ET, followed by those that will be announced starting at 5:41 a.m. ET. The Academy cautions that these are not listed in order of presentation and are subject to change.
