Oscar 2023 Predictions: Who Will Win For Best Picture, Best Actor, Best Actress, And More

There likely won't be a slap heard 'round the world on Sunday but perhaps plenty of jokes about slaps at the 95th annual Academy Awards at the Dolby Theatre in Los Angeles.

Twitter was ablaze in 2022 when Best Actor winner Will Smith slapped comedian Chris Rock, as many wondered if it was staged. It's fair to presume that the Academy of Motion Picture Arts and Sciences would rather move on from the slap, though this year's award ceremony is hosted by Jimmy Kimmel, who rarely shies away from poking fun at a controversy.

While the pageantry might make for fine entertainment, more attention will likely be paid to the winners of the major categories.

Here's a look at predictions for the top awards.

Everything Everywhere All at Once

Best Director

Daniel Kwan and Daniel Scheinert, Everything Everywhere All at Once
