The most coveted prize as always will be the Best Picture Award, and there are a number of great nominees this year including, "12 Years a Slave," "American Hustle," "Captain Phillips," "Dallas Buyers Club," "Gravity," "Her," "Nebraska," "Philomena" and "The Wolf of Wall Street."

This year is particularly interesting as there is no clear favorite to take the big award, with a number of the nominated films gaining widespread praise from critics. Three main favorites have emerged for most critics ahead of the ceremony, and they are "Gravity," starring George Clooney and Sandra Bullock; "American Hustle," which featured an all-star cast including Jennifer Lawrence, Amy Adams, Bradley Cooper and Jeremy Renner; and historic biopic "12 Years a Slave."

Music-wise, this year's Oscars feature a number of mainstream pop nominations including, Pharrell Williams ("Happy" from Despicable Me 2), U2 ("Ordinary Love" from Mandela: Long Walk to Freedom), Idina Menzel ("Let It Go" from Frozen), and Karen O ("Moon Song" from Her).

Of course the fifth nomination for the Oscar original song initially went to "Alone Yet Not Alone," which was co-written by Bruce Broughton, a longtime academy member. However, that nomination was later revoked as Academy Award rules were allegedly broken, with the Academy claiming that Broughton improperly campaigned for the song's nomination by emailing dozens of members of the academy asking that they listen to the song.

Broughton later explained that with so much publicity given to other songs up for nomination from other major Hollywood blockbusters that spend millions of dollars on promotion, he was simply just trying to make sure "Alone Yet Not Alone" was actually heard by members.

The film "Alone Yet Not Alone" was given a limited release on Sept. 27, 2013 in just nine markets and grossed $125,775 in its opening weekend. The budget to promote the film was of course minute compared to other major motion pictures such as Disney's Frozen, or Despicable Me 2. However, the Academy ruled that Broughton's actions constituted a breach of voting rules, and the song's nomination was revoked.

That leaves just the four songs in that category still up for the award.

Meanwhile, this year will see Ellen DeGeneres return as the Oscars host. Most are expecting her to provide ample comic relief throughout the night, but in a very different way to how last year's host, Seth MacFarlane conducted proceedings, who shocked many with a number of crude and explicit jokes and songs during the 2013 Awards show.

The Red Carpet event will start at 5.25 p.m. ET with E! providing a free live stream, which can be seen by clicking here.
