The Envelope Please...

The red carpet will be rolled out this weekend as Conan O’Brien hosts the 98th Academy Awards, honoring a dynamic field of contenders. Sinners, directed by Ryan Coogler, is expected to win big, as it was nominated in 16 categories, setting an Oscar record. But it faces stiff competition from hits such as Paul Thomas Anderson’s One Battle After Another, Guillermo del Toro’s Frankenstein, and the Timothée Chalamet vehicle Marty Supreme. Other stars to watch for are Jessie Buckley—whose performance in Hamnet was universally acclaimed—as well as Michael B. Jordan (Sinners), Rose Byrne (If I Had Legs I’d Kick You), and Sean Penn (One Battle After Another). And the musical KPop Demon Hunters has emerged as the overwhelming favorite for best animated feature. Who votes for the Academy Awards? How does a movie win an Oscar? Demystified.

The Ides of March

This weekend marks the Ides of March, a phrase that has been seared into the collective consciousness thanks to an ancient assassination and William Shakespeare.

What is it?

The Ides is a day that comes every month, not just in March, according to the ancient Roman calendar. The Romans tracked time much differently than we do, with months divided into groupings of days counted before certain named days—the Kalends at the beginning of the month, the Ides at the middle, and the Nones between them. In a 31-day month like March, the 15th serves as the Ides.

Inciting incident

In 44 BCE Julius Caesar was in the midst of a series of political and social reforms when he was assassinated by a group of nobles on the Ides of March. Led by senators Marcus Junius Brutus and Gaius Cassius Longinus, a group of approximately 60 conspirators fatally stabbed Caesar in the Roman Senate in a plot to preserve the Roman Republic and halt Caesar’s increasingly monarchical regime.

The Ides of March. "The Death of Julius Caesar" oil on canvas by Vincenzo Camuccini, c. 18-4-1805; in the National Museum of Capodimonte, Italy.
Immortalized

The term was immortalized in the tragedy Julius Caesar by William Shakespeare. In the play, a soothsayer (or fortune teller) warns Caesar to “beware the Ides of March,” but the dictator dismissed the advice, saying, “He is a dreamer; let us leave him: pass.” Later in the play, as Caesar approaches the Senate House, he sees the soothsayer in a crowd and boasts, “The Ides of March are come,” to which the soothsayer replies, “Ay, Caesar; but not gone.”
