Hollywood actress Blanca Blanco took a soothing bath early on Sunday morning.

The Eye For Eye actress was getting ready for an Oscar viewing party later in the day.

The 96th annual Academy Awards ceremony will take place on Sunday at the famed Dolby Theatre in Hollywood.

The Academy Awards is starting an hour earlier this year at 4 pm PST instead of 5 pm PST.

Blanco - an actress who has been in Tale Of Tails and Eye For Eye - was seen in a bathtub with her hair in a top knot.

'Getting ready for the Oscars night and hydrating my hair with #Saint&sSinners and fresh flowers from @gurumagazine celebrity gifting suite,' she wrote in her caption.

Blanco has also written the best-selling autobiography Breaking The Mold. 

Her next movie is Finding Nicole with Debra Lamb, Sean Whalen and Richard Tyson.

Based on the true-life story of Nicole Beverly as seen on Inside Evil with Chris Cuomo, Til Death Do Us Part, and the top-selling book with the same title. Nicole and her children survive and overcome domestic violence. 

On Sunday other stars like Eva Longoria and Kim Kardashian were seen getting beauty treatments to prepare for Hollywood's biggest night.

Kim was seen with a black bra on as she laid down on a white bed.

The rumoured girlfriend of Odell Beckham Jr had a machine to her photogenic face as she looked at the camera.

The reality TV queen was at the Beauty Sandwich. She said over her image: 'Snatched! Thank you @thebeautysandwich.'

It is not known if Kim is attending the Oscars, but she often hits the Elton John party with her sister Khloe Kardashian.

Kim's mother Kris Jenner was seen getting her hair done by Jennifer Aniston's stylist Chris McMillan at 5 am. 

Eva had pads under her eyes to combat puffiness as she wore a light blue V-neck sweater at home.

The 48-year-old star recently had a hit on her hands with the movie Flamin' Hot. 

The 96th Academy Awards honors the best films of 2023 - with the glittering ceremony held at the Dolby Theatre in Hollywood. 

The most hotly anticipated movies of the past year - Barbie and Oppenheimer - lead the nominations. 

Oppenheimer has bagged 13 nods, including best picture and best actor for Cillian Murphy - who is favorite to win the major category after scooping a BAFTA, a Golden Globe and SAG award for his role as physicist J. Robert Oppenheimer.

The impressive total - which also includes best supporting actor and actress for Robert Downey Jr. and Emily Blunt, as well as best director for Christopher Nolan - is just one nomination short of the all-time record set by Titanic in 1998.

Last year's other smash hit movie - Barbie - was nominated for eight awards, but also fell victim to notable snubs from the Academy.

Its star Margot Robbie was not nominated for best actress, while Greta Gerwig was not nominated for best director.

Another surprise saw America Ferrera nominated for best supporting actress over her role in Barbie, with pundits saying her character's impassioned speech on feminism had sealed the deal. 

Barbie's other nominations include best picture, best supporting actor for Ryan Gosling and two nods for best song - including Gosling's famed 'I'm Just Ken.' 

The second most-nominated movie was Poor Things, a graphic art house movie starring Emma Stone that has wowed critics but so-far failed to set the box office alight.

Stone plays a sex-crazed young woman, with her performance wowing critics. She previously won best actress in 2017 for her performance in La La Land. 

For best actor in leading role Bradley Cooper and Cillian Murphy are set to duke it out for the award. Colman Domingo, Paul Giamatti and Jeffrey Wright received nominations as well.

Leonardo DiCaprio was not recognized for his acting on Killers Of The Flower Moon.

Yorgos Lanthimos' Poor Things took home 11 Oscar nominations and Killers of the Flower Moon landed 10.

Annette Bening, Lily Gladstone, Sandra Huller, Carey Mulligan and Emma Stone have been nominated for best actress in a leading role.

Gladstone is the first Native American nominated for best actress, for her performance in Martin Scorsese's Killers of the Flower Moon - and is the favorite in the category thanks to her wins at the Golden Globes and SAG Awards,

What Was I Made For by Billie Eilish and I'm Just Ken performed by Ryan Gosling from Barbie received their expected nominations for best original song. 

Sterling K. Brown, Robert De Niro, Robert Downey Jr., Ryan Gosling and Mark Ruffalo received nominations for best actor in a supporting role.

Emily Blunt, Danielle Brooks, America Ferrera, Jodie Foster and Da'Vine Joy Randolph received nominations for best actress in a supporting role.

Joy already has  Golden Globe, Bafta, Critics Choice and Screen Actors Guild awards and is favorite for an Oscar for her performance as a bereaved cook in The Holdovers.

Scorsese's Killers of the Flower Moon and Christopher Nolan's Oppenheimer were nominated for best directing, snubbing Greta Gerwig's Barbie. 

Gerwig was nominated for best director in 2018 for her solo directorial debut, Lady Bird. Only three women have won Oscars for best director - Kathryn Bigelow, Chloe Zhao and Jane Campion.

Though Nolan is regarded as the big-budget auteur of his era, he's never won an Academy Award, nor have any of his films won best picture. 

Bradley Cooper was not nominated for directing Maestro but he was recognized for his acting in that bio movie.

American Fiction, Anatomy of a Fall, Barbie, The Holdovers, Killers of the Flower Moon, Maestro, Oppenheimer, Past Lives, Poor Things and The Zone of Interest landed best picture nominations.  

The 96th Academy Awards will be held on March 10 at 7 pm ET/4pm PT live on ABC, hosted for a fourth time by Jimmy Kimmel.
