The red carpet is now in place at the Dolby Theatre on Hollywood Boulevard ahead of this year's Oscar ceremony, and guests are already starting to arrive. You'll be able to keep up with all the latest here on our liveblog. You can also find Eye For Film's Jennie Kermode and Andrew Robertson posting live on Bluesky.

Don't forget that this is a record-breaking year, with the film Sinners having earned more nominations than any other in Oscar history. Check out the full list of nominees.

The first award of the night went to Amy Madigan for her work in Stephen King adaptation Weapons. She thanked the voters, her family and her dogs.

Jennifer Lawrence's sheer dress at the Golden Globes seems to have kicked off a trend, with several similar numbers to be seen on the red carpet tonight. Elle Fanning is wearing a traditional sparkling white Givenchy princess gown and Jessie Buckley looks stunning in a pale pink Chanel number with a red satin wrap-around top. There are also some striking shades of green, with Wunmi Mosaku shimmering in Louis Vuitton sequins.

Those awards so far:

Best Supporting Actress

Best Animated Film


#Best Animated Short
