Ruben Ostlund: «So the new film; The Entertainment System Is Down takes place on a long haul flight, and quite soon after takeoff, when everybody is starting to look at these screens that are in front of them on the seats, the passengers get the horrible news that the entertainment system is not working. So we have modern human beings doomed to a 15-hour long flight when the iPhone and iPads are charging out. Analogue boredom, and they have to socially interact like in the “old times”!»23:42
Triangle of Sadness director Ruben Östlund is on the red carpet, talking about his new film The Entertainment System Is Down.
He spoke to Euronews Culture about this film in December:

Apparently Tom Cruise won’t be here tonight…
He’s a busy boy, probably jumping off cliffs or something…

Fun fact: Regardless of anything that happens tonight, Everything Everywhere All At Once has already officially become the world’s most awarded film of all time.
During this award season, the film has been awarded 158 recognitions from major ceremonies and organizations, surpassing the iconic The Lord of The Rings: The Return of the King, which received 101 awards in total.

We won’t overdo it with red carpet commentary — we’re pacing ourselves for the actual ceremony.
This year’s frontrunner is without a doubt Everything Everywhere All At Once, which looks poised to take home the lion’s share of the statuettes.
It leads the charge tonight with a total of 11 nominations and considering how well it has done during the precursor awards (SAGs in particular), no one would be in the least bit surprised if it takes home Best Film in a few hours’ time.
For those playing catch up, here are our full predictions for the evening – those who will likely celebrate and the ones who will most probably commiserate.
And the winners will be:

Welcome to the 2023 Oscars!
Good evening everyone. David here from Euronews Culture, saying goodbye to another awards season with this the final hurdle before we can stop talking about the Oscars for another year.
I’ll be liveblogging the whole event, from the red carpet to the Dolby Theatre till bitter end with Best Film, keeping you abreast of all the winners and major developments as they happen.
So strap in and wish me and our wonderful social media head honcho Amber luck, as she’ll be updating the Twitter feed with everything everywhere all at once about this evening’s milestones and talking points. She will also be joining me in mainlining numerous caffeinated substances (and nothing else, we promise) all night.
And it’s going to be a long night.
Red carpet starts soon. Stay tuned.
