The 89th Annual Academy Awards are held February 26 at the Dolby Theatre in Los Angeles. Jimmy Kimmel will host the ceremony that will be televised live on ABC at 7 PM ET, and around the world.
A number of theatre artists—actors and creatives alike—are among this year’s nominees, including Hamilton creator Lin-Manuel Miranda, and Dear Evan Hansen songwriters Benj Pasek and Justin Paul, who are represented for their work on the musical films Moana and La La Land, respectively.
Both films are poised to make Oscar history tonight.
La La Land heads into the ceremony with a total of 14 nominations—including Best Motion Picture and Best Original Screenplay—more than any other film featured. Pasek and Paul received two Best Original Song nominations for songs they co-penned with composer Justin Hurwitz: “Audition (The Fools Who Dream)” and “City of Stars.”
The unabashedly heartfelt picture—a modern love letter to classic MGM movie musicals—joins All About Eve and Titanic as the most nominated films in Oscar history, each earning 14 nominations apiece. All About Eve won in six of its categories in 1951, while Titanic swept with 11 wins in 1998. Both of La La Land’s predecessors won Best Picture, with All About Eve beating out Sunset Boulevard.
Miranda is also nominated in the Best Original Song category for “How Far I’ll Go,” from the hit Disney film Moana.
If Miranda wins, he will join the exclusive club of people who have won Emmy, Grammy, Oscar, and Tony Awards, and the even more rarefied group of people who have also won a Pulitzer Prize.

Notable nominations also include Barry Jenkins’ film Moonlight, adapted from playwright Tarell Alvin McCraney’s story, which is nominated for Best Adapted Screenplay and Best Motion Picture. The film received eight nominations including Performance by an Actress in a Supporting Role (Naomie Harris), Performance by an Actor in a Supporting Role (Mahershala Ali), Directing (Jenkins), and Original Score (Nicholas Britell).
Lucas Hedges, who is currently making his New York stage debut in the MCC production of Yen Off-Broadway, was nominated for Performance by an Actor in a Supporting Role for Kenneth Lonergan’s film Manchester by the Sea—another hit film nominated for Best Motion Picture. The film received a total of six nominations.
Fences, adapted from August Wilson’s play of the same name and starring Denzel Washington, was nominated for four awards: Best Picture, Performance by an Actor in a Leading Role (Washington), Performance by an Actress in a Supporting Role (Viola Davis), and Best Adapted Screenplay (Wilson). Tony-winning Broadway producer Scott Rudin, along with Washington and Todd Black, are the producers of the film.
Meryl Streep was nominated for Performance by an Actress in a Leading Role for her performance in Florence Foster Jenkins. The film was also nominated for Costume Design.
