Academy Award nominees America Ferrera, Billie Eilish and Finneas O'Connell were all smiles as they posed for photos together on the red carpet.

Ferrera, who is nominated for best supporting actress for her performance in "Barbie," stepped out in a pink gown, while Eilish wore a black blazer with a white button down shirt and a black and white skirt with a matching houndstooth purse. O'Connell wore a classic suit with a black bowtie.

Eilish and O'Connell's song "What Was I Made For?" from "Barbie" is nominated tonight for best original song.

Amid the ongoing Israel-Hamas war, "Anatomy of a Fall" actors Milo Machado-Graner and Swann Arlaud wore Palestinian flag pins on the Oscars red carpet.

The five filmmakers nominated in the best director category include Martin Scorsese, Justine Triet, Christopher Nolan, Yorgos Lanthimos and Jonathan Glazer.

Scorsese's nomination for the crime drama "Killers of the Flower Moon" is his 10th best director nomination. He won best director in 2007 for "The Departed."

Nolan, who directed and wrote "Oppenheimer," and Lanthimos, who directed "Poor Things," are up for best director at the Oscars for the second time in their careers.

Triet, who directed and co-wrote "Anatomy of a Fall," and Glazer, who directed and wrote "The Zone of Interest," are first-time Oscar nominees.

Some of this year's presenters at the Oscars include Matthew McConaughey, Zendaya, Dwayne Johnson, Jennifer Lawrence, "Wicked" co-stars Cynthia Erivo and Ariana Grande, and more.

Last year's quartet of Oscar winners for acting -- Michelle Yeoh, Ke Huy Quan and Jamie Lee Curtis of "Everything Everywhere All at Once" and Brendan Fraser of "The Whale" -- will also take the stage.

Octavia Spencer and Melissa McCarthy presented the Oscar for best adapted screenplay to "American Fiction" director and screenwriter Cord Jefferson.

The film was based on the 2001 novel "Erasure" by Percival Everett.

"This means the world to me, thank you so much to the academy," Jefferson said. "There are so many people. I feel so much joy being here, I felt so much joy making this movie, and I want other people to experience that joy, and they are out there, I promise you."

"The next Martin Scorsese is out there, the next Greta's out there, the next Christopher Nolan's out there, I promise you. They just want a shot and we can give them one," he continued. "And this has changed my life. Thank you all who worked on this movie, for trusting a 40-year-old Black guy who had never directed anything before. It has changed my life."

Other nominees in the category included Noah Baumbach and Greta Gerwig for "Barbie," Christopher Nolan for "Oppenheimer," Tony McNamara for "Poor Things" and Jonathan Glazer for "The Zone of Interest."
