Order of awards at Oscars 2023 speculated based on last year's Academy Awards schedule

One of the most revered award ceremonies in the entertainment industry, the Academy Awards, popularly known as the Oscars, is almost here. Fans waiting for the prestigious event can tune in at 8 pm ET (or 5 pm PT) for the live broadcast of the 95th edition of the Oscars.

Like the previous installments of the Academy Awards, the AMPAS (Academy of Motion Picture Arts and Sciences) has brought in a long lineup of presenters to honor the best in cinema. Many fans are now also curious about the presenting order, but AMPAS has maintained secrecy around the same.

The order of awards presented at the Oscars also remains random. However, readers can look at last year's schedule to get an idea of how the accolades may be presented at the 2023 Academy Awards.
