Oscars Red Carpet

2018 Oscars Red Carpet is always enjoyably unpredictable, and Sunday's was no exception managing an endless parade of celebrities, some of whom might have said more than they should have.

Hollywood's A-list strode down the red carpet for the 2018 Academy Awards on Sunday night. The stars managed to avoid the rain as they headed into the Dolby Theatre for the 90th Academy Award ceremony.

But Seacrest wasn't blameless, either, at one point clearly snubbing a publicist of a major Hollywood star, and it was all caught on camera. Nor was Giuliana Rancic, who did some online sex toy research for the cameras as a public service.

Josh Hutcherson and Dakota Johnson, in particular, got refreshingly frank in their comments – dropping curse words and references to sex toys, and leaving Ryan Seacrest to mop up the mess.

The Oscars

The Oscars first Academy Awards presentation was held on May 16, 1929, at a private dinner at the Hollywood Roosevelt Hotel with an audience of about 270 people. The post-awards party was held at the Mayfair Hotel. The cost of guest tickets for that night's ceremony was $5 ($69 as of 2015). Fifteen statuettes were awarded, honoring artists, directors and other personalities of the film-making industry of the time for their works during the 1927–28 period; the ceremony ran for 15 minutes.

Winners had been announced to media three months earlier; however, that was changed in the second ceremony of the Academy Awards in 1930. Since then and during the first decade, the results were given to newspapers for publication at 11:00 pm on the night of the awards.This method was used until the Los Angeles Times announced the winners before the ceremony began; as a result, the Academy has since 1941 used a sealed envelope to reveal the name of the winners.

The first Best Actor awarded was Emil Jannings, for his performances in The Last Command and The Way of All Flesh. He had to return to Europe before the ceremony, so the Academy agreed to give him the prize earlier; this made him the first Academy Award winner in history. The winners were recognized for all the work done in a certain category during the qualifying period; for example, Jannings received the award for two movies in which he starred during that period, and Janet Gaynor later won a single Oscar for performances in three films. With the fourth ceremony the system changed, and professionals were honored for a specific performance in a single film. For the first six ceremonies, the eligibility period spanned two calendar years.

At the 29th ceremony, held on March 27, 1957, the Best Foreign Language Film category was introduced. Until then, foreign-language films were honored with the Special Achievement Award.

Oscar Predictions 2018

Oscar Predictions 2018. We'd like to see how our predictions fare this time next year. Before we get bogged down by the inevitable glad-handing and mudslinging, we can pretend the Academy Awards are about honoring cinema's finest. Moreover, you can just slot these titles on your back burner for what sounds like a solid slate of movies. Consider it service journalism! In keeping, here are 100-percent blind predictions for the films and performances we'll be arguing about in approximately 365 days. (Contenders subject to change based on release-date fluctuations that may occur throughout the year.)

What Time are the Oscars 2018?

What Time are the Oscars 2018? Far from the eagerly anticipated and globally televised event it is today, the first Academy Awards ceremony took place out of the public eye during an Academy banquet at the Hollywood Roosevelt Hotel. Two hundred seventy people attended the May 16, 1929 dinner in the hotel's Blossom Room; guest tickets cost $5. And there was little suspense when the awards were presented that night, as the recipients had already been announced three months earlier.

That all changed the following year, however, when the Academy kept the results secret until the ceremony but gave a list in advance to newspapers for publication at 11 p.m. on the night of the Awards. This policy continued until 1940 when, much to the Academy's surprise, the Los Angeles Times broke the embargo and published the names of the winners in its evening edition – which was readily available to guests arriving for the ceremony. That prompted the Academy in 1941 to adopt the sealed-envelope system still in use today.

As the event grew in size, banquets became impractical and the event moved from banquet room to a theater venue beginning with the 16th Oscar ceremony in 1944, held at Grauman's Chinese Theatre in Hollywood. Since 2001, the Oscar ceremony has been held in Hollywood’s Dolby Theatre, just steps from the historic Chinese Theatre.

Oscars Live

Oscars Live are here!Panel of style, beauty, and entertainment experts is on duty to bring you live updates and commentary from the star-studded red carpet and awards stage. Stay with us from our 6:30 p.m.

Welcome to 2018, when everyone’s afraid of superintelligent machines taking over the world and no one can run a half-decent live stream.

Last month, NBC streamed the Super Bowl for free to anyone who wanted to watch. The execution was pretty terrible. But at least it was a noble effort.

On Sunday night, ABC streamed the Oscars—but only to people who were already paying for cable, and only if they happened to live in one of the eight U.S. cities in which ABC owns and operates a local station. Somehow, despite the tightly restricted audience, ABC’s execution was even worse.

Oscar 2018 Winners

Oscar 2018 Winners. In the first year of the awards, the Best Directing award was split into two separate categories (Drama and Comedy). At times, the Best Original Score award has also been split into separate categories (Drama and Comedy/Musical). From the 1930s through the 1960s, the Art Direction (now Production Design), Cinematography, and Costume Design awards were likewise split into two separate categories (black-and-white films and color films). Prior to 2012, the Production Design award was called Art Direction, while the Makeup and Hairstyling award was called Makeup.
