Five things we can't wait to see at the Academy Awards

From Oscar night dates to winning the coveted gold statue to what everyone will be wearing


UPDATED FEBRUARY 7, 2020 3:43 PM EST

Oscar night is fast approaching and we cannot wait! We’re ready to see all the big fashion from stars like  Salma Hayek ,  Margot Robbie  and  Jennifer Lopez  as well as who will be taking home the gold statue for their category (fingers crossed for  Brad Pitt ). Hollywood’s biggest night is sure to have many memorable moments on-stage as well as off — including heartfelt tributes to many who have passed away in the last year, most recently  Kobe Bryant  and legendary actor Kirk Douglas (father of  Michael Douglas ). Below we’ve gathered all the moments we are looking forward to seeing this year.

The former L.A. Lakers basketball player won an Oscar for his short film Dear Basketball in 2018. The Academy Awards always does an In Memoriam segment during the show, and we are looking forward to seeing how they honor the 41-year-old as well as the recently departed Kirk Douglas.

The Frida actress has been known to slay red carpet fashion and we’re excited to seeing what she will be wearing this year as she takes the stage to present an award. We’re also excited about the Mexican actress reuniting with her fellow acting BFFs Antonio Banderas and Penelope Cruz .

A JLo fashion moment

After receiving her first nomination in over 20 years, there hasn’t been anyone more excited than the Bronx diva this award season. Off the heels of her history-making Super Bowl LIV Pepsi Halftime Show performance, we’re hoping that she’ll bless us with another big moment in fashion.

Brad is the favorite to win the Oscar for Best Supporting Actor in the Quentin Tarentino film Once Upon A Time in Hollywood. Although he’s stated that he doesn’t mention his children in his acceptance speeches as a way to protect their privacy, we’re hoping he’ll mention kids Maddox, Pax, Shiloh, Zahara, Vivienne and Knox. We’re also keeping our eyes peeled for his Oscars date...
