This Year 's Oscars " class photo" has been Released - and as usual there are several eye-catching details.
Film fanatics have welcomed The Triumphant return of The Academy Awards ' yearbook snapshot after a pandemic-induced hiatus.
Here are some of The things we spotted from an annual tradition that has been described as.
1. Brendan Fraser having a 'whale' of a timeEveryone loves a good comeback story, but even The Best screenwriter couldn't have written a better story arch for Brendan Fraser .
After All but disappearing from The big screen in The mid-aughts, Fraser is The frontrunner for this Year 's Best Actor nomination for his portrayal of Charlie, in The Whale .
Director Darren Aronofsky is said to have spent nearly a decade searching for The Right actor to portray The reclusive English Teacher who struggles with severe obesity and is desperate to reconnect with his estranged daughter.
Critics lauded Fraser's emotional tour-de-force alongside co-stars Sadie Sink and Hong Chau , who is also nominated for Best Supporting Actress.
2. The Daniels look bemusedIn a Parallel Dimension , Daniel Kwan and Daniel Scheinert , The directing duo behind multiverse movie Everything Everywhere All at Once, are probably smiling in The yearbook photo. But in this version, they look bemused.
Perhaps that's because their zany, Martial Arts opus has become this Year 's unlikely frontrunner.
The Film has won 11 nominations, including a historic best actress nod for Michelle Yeoh . She is The First Asian-identifying actress to be nominated in The category.
3. All smiles from The Emerald IslesA beaming Brendan Gleeson - The co-star alongside Colin Farrell in tragicomedy The Banshees of Inisherin - sums up why Irish Eyes are smiling at The Oscars this Year .
Nearly a quarter of this Year 's actor nominees are Irish, and The Quiet Girl is also Ireland's first nomination for an International Feature Film.
4. A Great Year for newcomers and first-timersIn The Past , awards shows have been criticised for seemingly nominating The same actors every Year - Meryl Streep , for example, has been nominated 21 times.
But not this Year . Sixteen of The 20 actors nominated are would-be first-time winners,
That includes Austin Butler , who is nominated for his spot-on portrayal of Elvis Presley . Mere days after Butler took home The Golden Globe for Best Actor , Elvis' daughter, Lisa Marie , died suddenly. Butler said her passing has made this and he hopes to win for both Presley and her family.
5. Costume designers are On PointCostume designers are among The unsung heroes of The Film world, but who would Elvis be without his bedazzled jumpsuit or Queen Ramonda without her glorious crown?
This Year 's nominated designers helped create characters who travelled The multiverse, fought for Wakanda and revelled in The decadence of early Hollywood.
Costume designer Shirley Kurata is nominated for Everything Everywhere All at Once. She's pictured near Ruth Carter, who is nominated for Black Panther : Wakanda Forever.
6. Do I Spy Mr Bean?It's not Every Day you see Mr Bean on The Red Carpet . Director Shaunak Sen decided to keep things casual in his class photo.
His film All That Breathes is nominated for best documentary feature. The Story follows Two Brothers in New Delhi who try to rescue black kites, majestic birds who are dying because of The crowded city's Toxic Skies .
7. Avatar is (finally) backSometimes, it feels like it's been 84 years since Avatar premiered (That's a Titanic/James Cameron joke). But All That waiting appears to have paid off.
Avatar: The Way of The Water is nominated for Best Picture, which is perhaps why its Julian Howarth (centre, dark shirt, grey blazer), who is also nominated for his sound design on The Film , looks so chuffed.
And while it's rare for a summer blockbuster to be nominated for Best Picture, two of The highest-grossing films of The Year are up for The Top honour: Avatar: The Way of The Water and Top Gun : Maverick.
