The greatest, and of course, the grandest night in the film's history is coming on Sunday, 12 March, in the Dolby Theatre in Los Angeles: the Oscars.

This year's Oscar Awards are slated to make history as several nominees are in the race to make the memorable night registered on the annals of history.

Below are the six potential wins that could set off a flurry of exciting headlines and remarkable feats.

Composer John Williams is in the race to clinch the title of oldest winner of a competitive Oscar

Williams, at 91, is racing against filmmaker James Ivory and costume designer Anne Roth; both were at 89 at their respective wins, for the oldest person to bag a competitive Oscar.

Angela Bassett may bring first trophy to MCU 

Angela Bassett, the pulsating actor is nominated for Best Supporting Actress role in  Black Panther: Wakanda Forever; if she scores the award, she will go down in history as the first actor to lift the golden lady for the MCU.

Everything Everywhere All At Once eyes to sweeps again

BAFTA: Won

Critics' Choice Movie Awards: Won

Golden Globes: Won

SAG Awards: Won

Independent Spirit Awards: Won

Everything Everywhere All At Once makes other films hard to compete with, as the sci-fi/adventure film is netting all the awards at almost every event.

The film's leading star Michelle Yeoh, who is vocal about her struggle against Hollywood stereotypes, could register her name in history to become the first Malaysian to win an Oscar, plus the first Southeast Asian actor to succeed in the category of Best Leading Actress.

Moreover, fellow actor Ke Huy Quan would also become the first Vietnamese-born actor to win an Oscar for acting performance.

Paul Mescal's name is inches away for the youngest Leading Actor winner

The Irish star Paul Mescal is competitive against the world's best talent in the Best Leading Actor category for Aftersun. Adrien Brody, at the moment, holds the record for The Pianist at 29.

Sequels are ready for a splash

Top Gun: Maverick and Avatar: The Way of Water proved the naysayers wrong about the time bound to make the film relevant.

Giving the historic success of both franchise films would spur others of the lost franchise to regrow.

Meanwhile, Maverick is the first sequel to secure the categorical win without its original film being nominated in the past.

Critically acclaimed Steven Spielberg could surpass the legendary Clint Eastwood

Spielberg needs no introduction. The filmmaker is at the zenith of his career and has netted his 11th directing nomination for The Fabelmans, which would become the oldest director to win in this category.

Currently, Clint Eastwood is the top record-holder for Million Dollar Baby at 74 years old.

Unslappable Jimmy Kimmel is slated to emcee the star-studded event as last year's slap gate controversy looms. 

The 2023 Academy Awards will broadcast live on ABC on Sunday, 12 March.
