Lady Gaga is nominated for best song as are Tems, Rihanna, Ryan Coogler, and Ludwig Goransson for Lift Me Up from Wakanda Forever.
The baby No. 2 expecting Rihanna will be performing her song which fans are excited about.
While everyone was hoping for a less drama-free event than last year, the fashion was dramatic and the looks kept coming.
HERE COME THE WINNING LOOKS
Pre-show host Laverne Cox upstaged some of the stars she interviewed in a teal-cut-out number with matching studs and a black cape.
Vanessa Hudgens went for a classic Hollywood number in black-and-white designed by Chanel.
Sofia Carson wore a favorite- Giambattista Valli with Chopard jewelry – “wow, honey!” Laverne said on Sofia’s necklace with 122.9 carats worth of diamonds.
“The security is watching her,” Laverne joked about the Descendants star nominated for Best Original Song for Tell It Like A Woman.
“A whole princess,” one fan tweeted. Another said she “serves every carpet she’s on.”
Jamie Lee Curtis absolutely dazzled in a crystal-covered gown from D&G and advised future acting nominee hopefuls to just: “relax.”
“There’s an incredible amount of self-knowledge that comes with getting older,” she said.
The Best Supporting Actress nominee for Everything Everywhere All At Once was joined by her director husband Christopher Guest.
“Mother arrives at the Oscars,” one fan tweeted on Jamie Lee. Another wrote she’s “Going home with that trophy.”
Wandavision star Elizabeth Olsen was a vision in a long, black, Givenchy halter gown with a slicked-back bun and a red lip.
Sigourney Weaver, who reunited with Aliens director James Cameron for Avatar: Way of Water shot into the stratosphere with Givenchy fur that hugged her curves.
Mindy Kaling was out of Office and in vogue with a Vera Wang modern gown that was all white.
NOT SUCH A RED CARPET
It’s worth noting that this year, the Oscars red carpet isn’t actually red, marking the first color change since 1961.
Rather, stars are walking a champagne-colored carpet.
Red carpet creative consultants Lisa Love and Raúl Àvila were tasked to reimagine the carpet color, so the talent could better transition from day arrivals to evening, according to the Hollywood Reporter.
“This is about getting ready for the golden hour that follows the show,” Love explained.
Host Jimmy told THR that: “we got it for a very good price downtown.”
He also joked the color change was to preempt drama: “People have been asking if there’s going to be any trouble this year, is there going to be any violence this year? I certainly hope not,” he said.
“But if there is, I think the decision to go with a champagne carpet rather than a red carpet shows how confident we are that no blood will be shed,” he morosely added.
