A statement added: “ITV will premiere the 97th Oscars ceremony and red carpet coverage, offering a night of exclusive free-to-air programming across both ITV1 and ITVX, along with a plethora of Oscars-themed content and added behind-the-scenes extras – making ITV the ultimate destination for all things Oscars.”.
We could therefore have a record number of wins in one night, with the current record being 11, although it’s incredibly unlikely that Emilia Perez will take 12 gongs, let alone all 13.
The 97th Academy Awards will take place at the Dolby Theater in Los Angeles on the night of Sunday, March 2 – which, for UK film fans, means the early hours of Monday, March 3.
Throughout the day, Good Morning Britain, Lorraine, This Morning, Loose Women and ITV News will all cover the latest Oscars news and build-up.
Anora, The Brutalist, Emilia Perez and Nickel Boys are all said to be in the running for the biggest award of the night with no clear favourite.
