by After a long and arduous awards season, it’s almost time for the Oscars 2023. The best films of the past year will soon be awarded Oscars by the Academy of Motion Picture Arts and Sciences (AMPAS). This year marks the 95th ceremony, also referred to as the Academy Awards.
What will be the most memorable moment of the ceremony? In 2022, the TV show was connected with a slap from Will Smith. In 2020, Bong Joon-ho and Parasite showed the world that subtitles should not stop a film from receiving praise.
