Roll out the red carpet, it’s Oscars night.

A full year of off-screen drama and movie magic will all culminate with the 97th Academy Awards on Sunday.

Though the Oscars typically anoint a front-runner far in advance, there have been no clear favorites during the run-up to film’s biggest evening.

“Emilia Pérez” had an early edge on the competition after snagging a nearly record-breaking 13 nominations in late January, but in the weeks since, the musical crime dramedy has been embroiled in multiple controversies.

Lead Karla Sofía Gascón, who is in the running for Best Actress, sullied much of the film’s shine after a slew of her offensive social media posts resurfaced not long after nominations dropped. The film has also been criticized for its depiction of both Mexican culture and the transgender experience.

Despite the backlash, supporting star Zoe Saldaña has managed to dodge much of the discord and remained a favorite in the Best Supporting Actress category throughout awards season.

Right behind with 10 total nominations is the sprawling post-war drama “The Brutalist” ― but the Adrien Brody-fronted film has not been without its own controversies. Scenes featuring digitally enhanced accents and computer-generated architecture sparked serious discussions about the use of AI in cinema.

While the academy usually only lets one musical (if any) sparkle each season, this year is the first time in five decades that multiple examples of the genre found their way into the Best Picture bracket. The blockbuster Wizard of Oz reimagining “Wicked” snagged 10 of its own nods, including a surprise Best Supporting Actress nomination for multi-hyphenate Ariana Grande.

Even if the film fails to nab any trophies, stars Cynthia Erivo and Grande’s marathon press campaign will get to crescendo with a live performance at the award show.

The Bob Dylan biopic “A Complete Unknown” and Vatican drama “Conclave” each received eight nominations. Papal intrigue and a lush setting helped earn “Conclave” the Best Film award at the BAFTAs, a good sign given how the British film awards often signal what resonated with Oscar voters.

While “Anora” was shut out at January’s Golden Globes, the Brooklyn Cinderella story got top honors at the smaller producers, directors and writers guilds awards, another set of accolades which regularly foreshadow Academy Awards success.

With late night legend Conan O’Brien hosting for the first time, the show is guaranteed to have plenty of ripe commentary about Hollywood, the White House and beyond.

Movie fans can tune in to the ceremony at 7 p.m. Eastern/4 p.m. Pacific time on ABC and Hulu.
