This week saw the nominees announced for the 96th Academy Awards with biopic Oppenheimer leading the way.
And there's some Scottish interest with 'Poor Things', a film based on Glaswegian artist Alasdair Gray's novel of the same name, up for 11 Oscars.
The first Oscars were held in 1929, when Douglas Fairbanks handed out trophies at the Hollywood Roosevelt Hotel.
Since then they have become an annual celebration of the best films of the year, with ‘Everything Everywhere All At One’, ‘The Banshees of Inisherin’, ‘The Fabelmans’ and ‘All Quiet on the Western Front’ amongst the leading candidates for 2023.
Over the years many Scottish actors and filmmakers have been honoured by the Academy.
Here are 16 of them.
