MARVEL EXECUTIVE VICTORIA ALONSO OUT TO SUPPORT ‘ARGENTINA, 1985’
Argentine film producer Victoria Alonso, whose day job is president of physical, post production, VFX and animation at Marvel Studios, is here in support of best international film nominee “Argentina 1985,” which she produced.
“They let me off the hook for a bit,” she said of her Marvel bosses. “It’s an important film.”
Alonso, the film’s director and cast posed in front of an Oscar and sang an Argentine song together for good luck.
“We’re going to win an Oscar,” she said, smiling before joining her team down the line.

LILLY SINGH TOUCHES UP
Comedian Lilly Singh stepped aside to a corner of the champagne carpet to adjust her outfit, a dramatic fuschia frock, and fix her makeup. But soon roaming photographers had spotted her and asked her to pose in front of the big Oscar.
“Right in front of the Oscar?” she said. “So many cameras I love it!”
She then made her way to the bleachers to give high fives to fans who cheered her on.

‘RRR’ SINGER PROMISES UNIQUE PERFORMANCE
“Naatu Naatu” singer Kaala Bhairava promised that tonight’s performance of the “RRR” song will be unlike anything the audience has seen before. He told the AP on the carpet that the performance will feature a mix of old and new choreography. Bhairava will perform alongside Rahul Sipligunj.

FANS IN THE BLEACHERS
A few dozen lucky and well-dressed fans practiced their cheers before the stars started arriving. Nominees often make the bleacher one of their first stops to shake hands and pose for selfies.
LADY GAGA TO PERFORM ‘TOP GUN’ SONG, AFTER ALL
AP Film Writer Lindsey Bahr — our roving reporter tonight — reports that a person close to the production with knowledge of the performance confirmed that Lady Gaga will sing “Hold My Hand,” the Oscar-nominated original song from “Top Gun: Maverick.”
Producers had said just days before that the superstar’s filming schedule for the “Joker” sequel would keep her from performing. Now that she’s been added to the lineup, all five original song nominees will be performed tonight.

ALL CALM ON THE CHAMPAGNE CARPET
Our roving red — sorry, champagne — carpet reporter Lindsey Bahr reports that for at least a few moments, the champagne carpet was calm at the 95th Academy Awards as press, photographers and publicists took their places outside the Dolby Theatre before 4 p.m. Pacific.
Some chattered about the possibility of a Lady Gaga performance, while others took last-minute selfies in front of the larger-than-life Oscars. Others wondered if the light colored carpet was going to stay clean the whole night.

ODDSMAKER BET ON ‘EVERYTHING, EVERYWHERE’ TO WIN IT ALL
For those who don’t want to wait, go ahead and offer congratulations to “Everything Everywhere All at Once.”
Oddsmakers say it’ll win at least six Oscars this year.
Yes, you can bet on the Oscars (in some states, anyway). FanDuel Sportsbook is among the many that has offered odds on the biggest categories, and it predicts — as many others do — that “Everything Everywhere All at Once” is the night’s big winner.
A breakdown of some of their bets:
— Best picture, “Everything Everywhere All at Once”
— Best actress, Michelle Yeoh
— Best actor, Brendan Fraser
— Best director, Daniel Kwan and Daniel Scheinert
___
GUIDE TO THE BEST ACTOR RACE
A first-time best actor winner awaits for certain — since none of the nominees has won an Oscar.
It’s likely a two-man battle between Brendan Fraser (“The Whale”) and Austin Butler (“Elvis”) for the award. Colin Farrell (“The Banshees of Inisherin”) is a potential stealer, with Paul Mescal (“Aftersun”) and Bill Nighy (“Living”) potentially pulling off a surprise.
Will Smith was last year’s winner for “King Richard,” though few may remember that given the extracurricular events of that night.
GUIDE TO THE BEST ACTRESS RACE
The best actress category at Sunday’s Oscars has the potential for history.
Michelle Yeoh (“Everything Everywhere All At Once”) would become the first Asian woman to win in this category if she — as many expect — gets the Oscar.
The top threat to Yeoh’s win has to be Cate Blanchett, the two-time Oscar winner who starred in “Tár” — depicting Lydia Tár, the fictional conductor of a German orchestra. Blanchett learned to play piano, speak German and conduct an orchestra for the film.
