LOS ANGELES (AP) — It’s almost time to see how the biggest nailbiter Oscar season of recent years concludes. Stars are converging at the Dolby Theatre in Hollywood on Sunday for the 97th annual Academy Awards, which will undoubtedly see some first-time Oscar winners in top categories. It’s the second year the Oscars are starting earlier in the hope that the best picture award will be announced before audiences go to bed. The best picture race has been a real horserace this year, with “Anora” and “Conclave” scooping up top awards at other shows in recent weeks. “Emilia Pérez,” the leading nominee this year, has had its Oscar chances upended by the surfacing of racist tweets by star Karla Sofía Gascón, so it remains to be seen how often the divisive Netflix narco-musical has its name out after the envelopes are opened Sunday. The Oscars red carpet is a major fashion showcase. Oscar nominees and winners from past, present and future pose and mingle ahead of the ceremony. The Associated Press has a livestream of stars’ arrivals available below: Here’s how to watch and other key things to know before Sunday’s show: What time do the Oscars start?
