It included the Original Score, Documentary Short, and other technical categories. However, in 2023, the Academy will present all 23 categories during the live event. To prevent any raucous during the ceremony like in 2022, there is also a crisis team. Here are all the details of one of the most awaited nights for the cinephiles.
