It’s Hollywood’s biggest night, and the 98th Academy Awards are officially underway.
We’re joined by Claire Murphy to preview the unusual traditions you might not know about, the record-breaking 16 nominations for Sinners, and why Timothée Chalamet might have just tanked his chances.
And in headlines today, Mike E steps in for Kyle & Jackie O with ARN bosses worried Sandilands will hit back at them during Australian Idol live shows; Four of the women from the Iranian soccer team offered humanitarian visas have chosen to return to Iran; The US Israeli war in Iran is now in its third week with US President Donald Trump saying he’s not ready to make a deal with Tehran; Australia has wrapped up its 2026 Winter Paralympics campaign with two medals, both scored by snowboarder Ben Tudhope; Rose Byrne is Australia's greatest hope at today's Academy Awards; Queen Mary and King Frederik are in Australia for their first trip since taking the throne, start their day in Canberra today
