The biggest moments from the 2023 Oscars

From Questlove’s Crocs to David Byrne’s hot-dog fingers, here are the night’s biggest (and weirdest) moments

by Toussaint Egan and Polygon Staff

The 2023 Oscars proceeded with the usual opening pomp and grand celebrity fashion show, as expected from Hollywood’s biggest night. The red carpet was full of wild questions, Jimmy Kimmel opened the night with expected slap jokes , then Ke Huy Quan and Jamie Lee Curtis won the audience’s heart with their moving, emotional acceptance speeches for Best Supporting Actor and Best Supporting Actress. David Byrne donned a pair of hot-dog-finger gloves while performing an original song from Everything Everywhere All At Once , alongside Mitski. And Rahul Sipligunj and Kaala Bhairava tore up the stage with their performance of “Naatu Naatu” from S. S. Rajamouli’s Oscar-nominated Indian action epic RRR .

If you didn’t catch the three-hour-plus broadcast — or just want to relive some of the night’s brightest and weirdest moments — we’ve rounded up the best, the funniest, the most touching, and most exhilarating moments from tonight’s Academy Awards ceremony.

Let’s get down to it!

Questlove shows off his diamond-encrusted Crocs

This year at the Oscars, plenty of attendees showed up in white or cream-accented outfits to complement the ceremony’s extravagant pale entranceway, nicknamed the “Champagne Carpet.” Not Questlove, though. The Oscar-winning director and iconic joint frontman of The Roots showed up in nothing short of diamond-encrusted Crocs, stating that he’s “just been choosing comfort for years now,” and he’s showing up to “shine his light.”

I just got one question, though: What are those ?

Hugh Grant is here, and man, he is so over it

Did you know that Hugh Grant was in Rian Johnson’s Glass Onion ? It’s true, he makes a brief (and I mean brief ) appearance at the beginning, as Phillip, partner to detective Benoit Blanc (Daniel Craig). He’s there for like, all of five seconds.

Anyway, Grant was asked what it was like to film the movie, and whether he had fun. His answer: Ehhh?

The Snyder bros are back, and they are being extremely normal

Remember when Zack Snyder’s Justice League (not to be confused with 2017’s Justice League ) won the coveted #OscarsCheersMoment prize at last year’s Academy Awards ceremony ? No? Well, the Snyder bros of the world sure do, and they’re clutching that “W” hard, like the prickly armored vice-grip of Steppenwolf. Somebody even went so far as to fly a plane trailing a banner over the Oscars red carpet, just to remind folks that it happened.

Jimmy Kimmel mocks the Nicole Kidman AMC ad

We come to the 95th Academy Awards ceremony for magic. We come to laugh, to cry, to care. That indescribable feeling we get when Jimmy Kimmel parachutes from the ceiling onto the stage and proceeds to riff on Nicole Kidman’s viral AMC ad, expressing gratitude that she’s free from that “abandoned theater she’s been trapped in for two years,” and snickering about how the ad urges people who are already in the theater to go to the theater. Because we need that — all of us.

Naatu Naatu dancers pulled Kimmel off stage

Getting played off by the Jaws theme song? Pssh, been there, done that. This year, Kimmel claimed, any Oscar winner who went overboard on their acceptance speech would get Naatu Naatu’d off the stage, which he promptly demonstrated.

Ke Huy Quan wins the Oscar for Best Supporting Actor

Ke Huy Quan accepted the Oscar for Best Actor in a Supporting Role for his performance as Waymond Wang in the Daniels’ Everything Everywhere All at Once. Quan delivered a moving acceptance speech dedicated to his mother and his wife Echo, to roaring applause, recalling the story of his time in a refugee camp in Hong Kong as a child, and his arrival in America.

Jamie Lee Curtis dedicating her win to her parents — because Tony Curtis and Janet Leigh never won an Oscar

Jamie Lee Curtis accepted the Oscar for Best Actress in a Supporting Role for her performance as Deirdre Beaubeirdre in the Daniels’ Everything Everywhere All at Once — the first nomination and first win in her 46-year career. She dedicated her award to her father Tony Curtis and her mother Janet Leigh, who never won Oscars, but were nominated for Best Actor in a Leading Role and Best Supporting Actress, respectively, for their performances in 1958’s The Defiant Ones and 1960’s Psycho.

The live-action-short winner sings “Happy birthday”

Tom Berkley and Ross White’s An Irish Goodbye won the award for Best Live Action Short at the 95th Academy Awards. Berkley took the opportunity to celebrate the birthday of the film’s co-star James Martin, by dedicating half his winner’s speech slot to a sing-along rendition of “Happy Birthday to You.”

David Byrne in hot-dog fingers

Stephanie Hsu and David Byrne took to the stage for a performance of “This Is A Life” from the Everything Everywhere All At Once soundtrack, with the latter donning a hot-dog-finger gloves to celebrate the occasion. That’s not all: Raccacoonie even made a surreal, glow-eyed appearance! Wow, all the stars really are out here tonight!

The donkey from Banshees of Inisherin hits the stage

Following a commercial break, Jimmy Kimmel brought out Jenny, the donkey that starred alongside Colin Farrell and Brendan Gleeson in Martin McDonagh’s The Banshees of Inisherin , describing Jenny as a “certified emotional support donkey” while encouraging her to thank Gleeson for letting her eat his finger. Awww!

[ Ed. note: The donkey seen on stage is confirmed to not be Jenny the Donkey, but in fact an imposter! Booooo!]

Rahul Sipligunj and Kaala Bhairava perform “Naatu Naatu,” confirmed as a “total banger”

Rahul Sipligunj and Kaala Bhairava — the playback singers who performed “Naatu Naatu” in S.S. Rajamouli ’s Indian action drama RRR in place of the film’s stars, N.T. Rama Rao Jr. and Ram Charan — took to the stage for a performance of the song, complete with all the exhausting-looking dance choreography from the movie itself. Naturally, this one later won the Best Song Oscar.

Cocaine Bear showed up

There he is. Cocaine Bear.

Lady Gaga’s emotional performance of her Top Gun: Maverick song

Lady Gaga changed out of her champagne-carpet duds and into a plain black T-shirt and torn jeans for a passionate, intimate performance of her original song “Hold My Hand” from the Top Gun: Maverick soundtrack. Gaga’s performance was particularly striking for its otherwise sparse presentation and dynamic cinematography. The performance ended with a touching dedication to Top Gun director Tony Scott, who died in 2012.

Hugh Grant calls his face “basically a scrotum”

Hugh Grant certainly seem to lighten up as the night went along, joking with his speech partner Andie Macdowell about the importance of regularly applying moisturizer while presenting the award for Best Production Design. Grant went so far as to compare Macdowell as “still stunning” thanks to her regular skin routine, meanwhile comparing himself to “a scrotum.” Hey, if you can’t laugh at yourself, who can you laugh at?

Malala declines to weigh in on Spitgate 2021

Midway through the show, Kimmel took to the aisles to ask “viewer-submitted questions” of some of the audience’s most distinguished guests, starting with Malala Yousafzai. The Pakistani education activist and Nobel Peace Prize laureate was asked for her take on whether Harry Styles spat on Chris Pine while promoting Olivia Wilde’s 2022 psychological thriller Don’t Worry Darling . Obviously taken aback by the brazen silliness of the question, Yousafzai curtly yet politely replied, “I only talk about peace.” Now that is what we should expect from a Nobel Peace Prize recipient.

The Daniels deliver a frantic top-speed double speech

Directors Daniel Kwan and Daniel Scheinert (aka the Daniels) accepted the award for Best Original Screenplay for Everything Everywhere All At Once by trading turns at the mic and trying to cram in as much speech as possible. Scheinert pretended he was about to call out all the mean teachers who gave him detention, then thanked the ones who changed his life instead. Kwan professed his love of storytelling amid a touching admission of imposter syndrome. The speech read as if they were afraid — like so many nominees before them — that they might be overlooked in the other categories, and wouldn’t get a chance back onstage, so they had to make the most of their moment. Little did they know.

Sarah Polley wins, Frances McDormand looms

A spectre is haunting Sarah Polley — the spectre of Francis McDormand. The director took to the stage to accept the award for Best Adapted Screenplay on behalf of her 2022 film Women Talking .

Polley delivered a moving speech about the film’s message about people’s power to disagree while still coming together to build a better future. But she wasn’t the only center of attention. A gigantic screenshot of Frances McDormand, who starred in the film, loomed over Polley’s shoulder with an expression that bore a striking resemblance to Death from Ingmar Bergman’s The Seventh Seal by way of the Engineer from Ridley Scott’s Prometheus . Beautiful speech, but seriously, WTF was that about?

RRR composer gives his winner’s speech in song

RRR composer M. M. Keeravani and lyricist Chandrabose took to the stage to accept the award for Best Original Song for “Naatu Naatu.” Keeravaani, who professed his love for The Carpenters, sung his acceptance speech to the tune of their 1972 song “Top of the World.”

The Daniels return and win Best Director

The Daniels took to the Oscars stage to receive yet another award, this time for Best Director. Scheinert took the opportunity to thank his parents for encouraging his creativity, while Kwan delivered a passionate speech on the collaborative nature of genius and the inherent greatness within every person.

Brendan Fraser mixes whale metaphors in his Best Actor speech

Brendan Fraser accepted the award for Best Actor for his starring role in Darren Aronofsky’s The Whale . Through tears, Fraser thanked Aronofsky for “throwing him a creative lifeline” and praised the cast and crew of The Whale alongside the other nominees, all via a series of extended whale metaphors. Fraser’s victory was the brightest spot in a controversial film , marking the end of a very long and difficult comeback for the actor.

Michelle Yeoh wins Best Actress

Everything Everywhere All At Once continued its sweep, with Michelle Yeoh winning the award for Best Actress . (Which puts Everything Everywhere All At Once at three out of four of the acting awards — something that’s only happened two other times in Oscar history.)

Yeoh is the first Asian actor to win the Best Actress Oscar. She began her speech saying, “For all the little boys and girls who look like me watching tonight, this is a beacon of hope and possibilities. This is proof that dreams come true. And ladies… never let anybody tell you that you are past your prime.”

Everything Everywhere All At Once wins Best Picture

After sweeping the major categories all night, it wasn’t so much a surprise that the A24 multiverse dramedy picked up the top prize of the night . Victories are rarely this sweet.

“This is for my dad,” said producer Jonathan Wang, “who like so many immigrant parents, died young. He is so proud of me… not because of this, but because we made this movie with what he taught me to do: That no person is no important than profits, and no one is more important than anyone else.”

Harrison Ford gives Ke Huy Quan a big Temple of Doom hug

The producers of the 2023 Oscars knew what they were doing when they asked Ford to present the Best Picture Oscar — Everything Everywhere All at Once was the clear favorite for the win, and putting the legend on stage meant the potential for an adorable reunion with his former Indiana Jones and the Temple of Doom co-star Ke Huy Quan. And that’s exactly what happened, minutes after the EEAAO cast took the stage for the Best Picture win. I mean, c’mon, this echo of their long-ago movie is a great moment in award-show history.

Correction: A previous version of this article misattributed Stephanie Hsu as Mitski, who sang “This Is A Life” alongside David Byrne for Everything E verywhere All At Once ’s soundtrack. Hsu performed with Byrne at the Oscars. We’ve edited the article to reflect this.

With the 95th Oscars this weekend, the Academy of Motion Picture Arts and Sciences has continued to announce the lineup of presenters at this year’s Academy Awards .

Coming to the Dolby Theatre stage on Sunday, March 12, 2023, for a telecast that will air live on ABC and broadcast outlets worldwide at 8 p.m. ET/5 p.m. PT, are some of last year’s winners including Best Supporting Actor Troy Kotsur (“CODA”), Best Actress Jessica Chastain (“The Eyes of Tammy Faye”), and Best Supporting Actress Ariana DeBose (“West Side Story”), fresh off her viral musical number at the 2023 BAFTA Awards. While the Academy does not announce which category each star is presenting, we can expect Kotsur, Chastain, and DeBose to present for the categories they won, as is tradition.

Last year’s Best Live Action Short winner Riz Ahmed (“The Long Goodbye”) and Best Documentary Feature winner Questlove (“Summer of Soul”) will also be presenting. Both filmmakers have already engineered some memorable 2023 award season moments, with Ahmed and co-presenter Allison Williams (“M3GAN”) impressively not stumbling on any names while announcing the Oscar nominees in January (sans his giggling as he said “My Year of Dicks”), and Questlove producing the amazing tribute to 50 years of Hip-Hop segment at this year’s Grammy Awards.

Last year’s Best Actor nominee Andrew Garfield, Best Actress nominee Florence Pugh, and Oscar winner Nicole Kidman are also presenting awards.

“Creed III” stars Michael B. Jordan and Jonathan Majors are both presenting at the Oscars this year, as are the stars of “Jungle Cruise” (2021), Dwayne “The Rock” Johnson and Emily Blunt. Again, there is no clarification in the Academy announcement that they will be paired together to present though. Some more of this year’s Oscar presenters like Glenn Close, Samuel L. Jackson, and Zoe Saldaña have likely crossed paths in the Marvel Cinematic Universe films they are in, so pairing them together to announce a category winner based on that loose shared history could be a random bit of fun.

Fitting the bill of actors who did not ultimately receive a nomination this year, but still agreed to present (think Lady Gaga) are “Glass Onion: A Knives Out Mystery” star Janelle Monáe, “Avatar: The Way of Water” star Sigourney Weaver, “Black Panther: Wakanda Forever” actress Danai Gurira, and “Top Gun: Maverick” star Jennifer Connelly. “The Little Mermaid” actresses Melissa McCarthy and Halle Bailey, international icons Deepika Padukone and “John Wick: Chapter 4” star Donnie Yen, “Magic Mike’s Last Dance” actress Salma Hayek Pinault, “Cocaine Bear” director Elizabeth Banks, Antonio Banderas, John Cho, and Hugh Grant are also presenting.

This year’s Academy Awards will be executive produced and run by Glenn Weiss and Ricky Kirshner. With Jimmy Kimmel as host, his head writer Molly McNearney (who also happens to be his spouse) will also serve as an executive producer on the show. The producers will all continue to announce more talent joining the show up to when the 95th Oscars finally happen on Sunday, March 12.

‘Everything Everywhere All at Once’ is the big winner at the Oscars.

In the late 1960s, young cineastes shook up a moribund film industry by delivering idiosyncratic, startlingly original work. The moment became known as New Hollywood .

When film historians look back at the 95th Academy Awards , they may mark it as the start of a new New Hollywood. Voters honored A24’s head-twisting, sex toy-brandishing, TikTok-era “ Everything Everywhere All at Once ” with the Oscar for best picture — along with six other awards — while naming Netflix’s German-language war epic “All Quiet on the Western Front” the winner in four categories, including best international film.

The Daniels, the young filmmaking duo behind the racially diverse “Everything Everywhere All at Once,” won Oscars for their original screenplay and directing. (The Daniels is an oh-so-cool sobriquet for Daniel Kwan and Daniel Scheinert. They are both 35.) The film, which received a field-leading 11 nominations, also won Oscars for film editing, best actress and best supporting actor and actress, with Michelle Yeoh, Ke Huy Quan and Jamie Lee Curtis honored for their performances.

“Ladies, don’t let anybody ever tell you that you are ever past your prime,” Yeoh, 60, said when accepting the best actress Oscar. “Never give up.” She was the first Asian woman to receive the award.

Quan’s win provided the Academy Awards with a hall-of-fame comeback story: After early success in movies like “The Goonies” and “Indiana Jones and the Temple of Doom,” his acting career grew so cold that he turned to stunt work. “Dreams are something you have to believe in,” Quan said as tears streamed down his face and A-list attendees gave him a standing ovation. “I almost gave up on mine. To everyone out there, please keep your dreams alive.”

Curtis was also in tears by the time she reached the fiery conclusion of her acceptance speech. “To all of the people who have supported the genre movies that I have made for all these years,” she said, “the thousands and hundreds of thousands of people, we just won an Oscar together!”

The Academy of Motion Picture Arts and Sciences spread nominations remarkably far and wide this year. Two blockbuster sequels, “Avatar: The Way of Water” and “Top Gun: Maverick,” made the best picture cut. So did the little-seen art films “Triangle of Sadness,” “Women Talking” and “Tár.” Voters also made room for a musical (“Elvis”) and a memory piece (“The Fabelmans”).

In some ways, spreading nominations widely reflected the jumbled state of Hollywood. No one in the movie capital seems to know which end is up, with streaming services like Netflix hot then not, and studios unsure about how many films to release in theaters and whether anything but superheroes, sequels and horror stories can succeed. Over the weekend, “Scream VI” was the top movie at the North American box office, with an estimated $44.5 million in ticket sales.

First-time nominees filled 16 of the 20 acting slots, with new stars like Austin Butler (“Elvis”), Barry Keoghan (“The Banshees of Inisherin”), Brian Tyree Henry (“Causeway”), Paul Mescal (“Aftersun”) and Stephanie Hsu (“Everything Everywhere All at Once”) honored for breakthrough roles.

But first-time acting nominations also went to Hollywood stalwarts like Curtis, Yeoh and Brendan Fraser. To some degree, the inclusion of Quan, Curtis, Fraser and Yeoh was seen as redemption for Hollywood: All had somehow been cast to the side at some point over their careers.

An overcome Fraser, who won the Oscar for best actor for his performance as an obese professor in “The Whale,” thanked Darren Aronofsky, the film’s director, “for throwing me a creative lifeline.”

The academy was also trying to balance old and new in the Oscars ceremony itself. The academy’s chief executive had promised a return to the polished, glamorous Oscar ceremonies of the past to recover from last year’s chaotic telecast, when an angry Will Smith walked onstage and slapped Chris Rock. In a change from last year, when eight categories were scuttled to a nontelevised portion, all 23 Oscars were handed out live on air.

As host, Jimmy Kimmel arrived on the Oscars stage by parachute, moments after a pair of “Top Gun”-style fighter jets flew over the Dolby Theater in Los Angeles at 345 miles per hour. He then breezed through a self-assured monologue that left the A-listers seated before him cheering in support. He teased Steven Spielberg — gently — for his lack of recreational drug use and Fraser and Quan for once appearing together in “Encino Man.” It was the kind of affable ribbing that once made Billy Crystal the king of the Oscar M.C.’s.

“And if any of you get offended by a joke and decide you want to come up here and get jiggy with it? It’s not going to be easy,” Kimmel said, addressing last year’s slap without directly mentioning Smith. He then joked that people like Michael B. Jordan, the “Creed” star, and Pedro Pascal, who plays the title role in “The Mandalorian,” were prepared to intervene.

“Seriously, the academy has a crisis team in place,” Kimmel said. “If anything unpredictable or violent happens during the ceremony, just do what you did last year — nothing. Maybe even give the assailant a hug.”

As expected, “Guillermo del Toro’s Pinocchio” received the Oscar for best animated feature, and “Navalny” was honored as best documentary. Less anticipated was Ruth Carter’s win for her “Black Panther: Wakanda Forever” costume design. (Most awards handicappers had predicted victory for the “Elvis” costume designer Catherine Martin. Carter also won for “Black Panther” in 2019.)

The #OscarsSoWhite outcries from 2015 and 2016, prompted by all-white slates of acting nominees, continue to reverberate at the academy, which has been trying to diversify its membership by race, gender and nationality. Nearly 50 percent of the academy’s most recent class of new members came from overseas. About 25 percent of the academy’s total membership of 10,000 now comes from outside the United States.

But the academy was criticized this year for not nominating any women in the best director category. For decades, women and people of color were almost entirely excluded from the directing race. In 2021, for the first time, two women were nominated: Chloé Zhao (“Nomadland”) and Emerald Fennell (“Promising Young Woman”), with Zhao winning. Last year, Jane Campion (“The Power of the Dog”) won the Oscar for directing.

This year, Sarah Polley (“Women Talking”) was left out even though her film was nominated for best picture. (Polley won for her adapted screenplay.) “I give up,” Patty Jenkins, whose directing credits include “Wonder Woman” and “Monster,” told Variety on Saturday about women being shut out of the category. “It’s still going to take a long ways to go. It’s going to take a lot more to really see truly more diverse awards.”

The internationalization of the academy was on display among this year’s directing nominees. The Swedish filmmaker Ruben Östlund (“Triangle of Sadness”) and the British-born Martin McDonagh (“The Banshees of Inisherin”) were honored. Joining them were Todd Field (Tár) and the Daniels. Filling out the best director category was Spielberg — a director who was once part of that New Hollywood crew and is now a Hollywood elder statesman with nine total nominations for directing, this one for “The Fabelmans.”

The academy emphasized that the ceremony would feel modern — part of an urgent effort to make the telecast more relevant to young people. The 2022 show drew 16.6 million viewers, the second-worst turnout on record after the pandemic-affected 2021 telecast . If the Nielsen ratings do not improve, the academy faces a financial precipice: Most of its revenue comes from the sale of broadcasting rights to the show. Hundreds of millions of dollars are at stake. (The most-viewed Oscars telecast was in 1998, when 57.2 million people watched “Titanic” win the trophy for best picture.)

Big musical stars, including Rihanna and Lady Gaga, sang their nominated songs; Lenny Kravitz performed during the “In Memoriam” segment. The best song Oscar went to “Naatu Naatu” from the Indian film “RRR.” The nominee pool for best picture had never before included more than one billion-dollar ticket seller, according to box office databases, and this year there were two. “Top Gun: Maverick” collected $1.5 billion, and “Avatar: The Way of Water” took in $2.3 billion. (Viewership tends to increase when popular films are nominated.)

In another change, the red carpet was not red: Stars walked a champagne-colored rug, breaking with a 62-year tradition. The choice was made as part of an overhaul of the preshow spectacle, which, for the first time, was managed by members of the Met Gala’s creative team. In the days leading up to the Oscars, another in a series of rainstorms soaked Los Angeles, so much so that the academy sent an alert to the news media on Wednesday warning that it may “need to clear the carpet at a moment’s notice.” In the end, the weather cooperated, and it was a sunny 63 degrees.

Why were Oscar nominees wearing blue ribbons? They stand #WithRefugees.

The Oscar-winning director Guillermo del Toro and the nominated actress Cate Blanchett were among several participants at the Academy Awards on Sunday who donned blue ribbons in support of refugees who fled their homes to escape war, conflict and persecution.

As part of the #WithRefugees initiative, the United Nations Refugee Agency invited del Toro, Blanchett, best actor nominee Bill Nighy, “All Quiet on the Western Front” director Edward Berger and “Triangle of Sadness” star Dolly de Leon to wear the ribbons.

Blanchett, one of the agency’s Goodwill ambassador, said that when she met with refugees in Lebanon, Jordan, Bangladesh and Britain, she was struck by the similarities she shared with them rather than their differences.

“What I love about film is the way it draws us into compelling human themes to uncover the connective tissue that binds us all,” Blanchett said in a statement.

The pins were also present at the BAFTAs, where Colin Farrell, Daryl McCormack and Paul Mescal, among others, sported the ribbons.

Brendan Fraser wins best actor.

In a category filled with first-time nominees, Brendan Fraser took home the Oscar for best actor for his turn as a 600-pound college instructor mostly confined to his apartment in “ The Whale .” After wins at the Screen Actors Guild and Critics Choice Awards, the Academy Award capped a remarkable comeback story.

Based on a play by Samuel D. Hunter, the film centers on Fraser’s Charlie in the last days of his life as his ex-wife, estranged daughter, nurse friend and others visit. “Encased in prosthetic flesh,” Fraser gives a performance “that is sometimes disarmingly graceful,” the Times critic A.O. Scott wrote in his review, adding that the actor “uses his voice and his big, sad eyes to convey a delicacy at odds with the character’s corporeal grossness.”

In an emotional speech overflowing with underwater metaphors, Fraser thanked A24, the studio behind the film, along with his fellow nominees.

“Gentlemen, you laid your whale-sized hearts bare so that we could see into your souls like no one else could do,” Fraser said.

Fraser was nominated alongside Austin Butler for “Elvis,” Colin Farrell for “The Banshees of Inisherin,” Paul Mescal for “Aftersun” and Bill Nighy for “Living.”

The portrayal set off a debate about fat-shaming and the movies. The Times columnist Roxane Gay wrote in December that Fraser’s “performance makes him a strong contender for all the major awards, and that’s a shame — not because he doesn’t deserve them but because what’s also being rewarded is such a demeaning portrayal of a fat man.”

Fraser took pains to explain that his work was based on consultations with members of the Obesity Action Coalition. He spoke to The Times of “the constant harangue that people who live in oversized bodies have to endure in their daily life,” adding, “They become overlooked by doctors, they don’t get the same attention. That really does play at your confidence.”

And the actor could relate to confidence being undermined. He found stardom quickly with mainstream hits like the 1992 films “Encino Man” and “School Ties.” But he seemed to disappear from the screen in the 2000s. As the Projectionist columnist Kyle Buchanan chronicled in a recent profile , Fraser was dealing with “a costly divorce, injuries incurred from years of grueling stunt work, and a sexual assault that he said was committed by the former Golden Globes boss Philip Berk and that caused him to withdraw from the spotlight.” (Berk has denied the accusation.)

In 2020, the director Darren Aronofsky came across an old movie trailer featuring Fraser, a serendipitous moment that led to his casting in “The Whale” and, ultimately, to the Oscar. (His co-star Hong Chau was also nominated but lost to Jamie Lee Curtis of “Everything Everywhere All at Once.” Fraser thanked Chau in his speech, saying that “only whales can swim at the depths of the talent of Hong Chau.”)

Throughout awards season Fraser was considered the favorite, in part because of his humble reaction to the turn his life has taken. He told Buchanan, “I’ll take nothing for granted, knowing how far-reaching this journey has been.”

I think we’re done, but I suspect this night isn’t done with us, mostly in a good way for a change. It’s always a pleasure weeping and wilding and wilting our way through this together. Thanks, everybody who followed along. It’s been an honor.

Reggie Ugwu

This has been fun, y’all! See you on the other side of the great everything bagel in the sky.

It did look close there for a minute with significant wins for “All Quiet,” but in the end we are where we thought we would be. A huge deal for the entire “EEAAO” creative team, and hopefully major validation for studios to take longshot bets on original and adventurous ideas.

Reggie, from your mouth to the studios’ ears.

It was a historic night for Asian actors.

When Ke Huy Quan won the Oscar for best supporting actor midway through Sunday’s Academy Awards, he made his own bit of history, becoming the first Oscar winner of Vietnamese ancestry.

And Quan’s victory for his performance in “Everything Everywhere All at Once” opened a path toward another milestone: Never in the history of the Academy Awards had two Asian actors won in a single year.

So, later Sunday night, when Michelle Yeoh, one of Quan’s co-stars, captured the best actress Oscar, her win powered more than one significant breakthrough. Yeoh became the first Asian best actress winner in Oscars history, and the first Malaysian to win an Oscar; and the pair of triumphs by Yeoh and Quan marked the first time that more than one performer of Asian descent won an Oscar in a single year.

“For all the little boys and girls who look like me watching tonight, this is a beacon of hope and possibilities,” Yeoh said when accepting her best actress award. “This is proof that dreams — dream big, and dreams do come true.”

“This is history in the making,” she added. “Thank you.”

A total of four actors of Asian ancestry were recognized with Oscar nominations this year, a record number for Asian performers. In addition to Yeoh and Quan, Stephanie Hsu, who also stars in “Everything Everywhere All at Once,” was up for supporting actress nomination, as was Hong Chau of “The Whale.”

In the run-up to the Oscars, an analysis by The New York Times found that Asian stars have rarely been part of the Academy Awards. Of the 1,808 acting award nominees, only 23 could be identified as Asian; coming into Sunday, only four had ever won.

Kyle Buchanan

With three acting wins, plus director, picture and original screenplay, “Everything Everywhere” has won more above-the-line Oscars than any movie ever in the 95 years they’ve thrown this show.

Oscars pay tribute to film industry fixtures who died.

The Academy Awards paid tribute to mainstays of the film industry who died over the past year: from onscreen stars like Olivia Newton-John (“Grease”) and Angela Lansbury (“Gaslight,” “Murder, She Wrote”), to behind-the-scenes luminaries, including the French director Jean-Luc Godard and Burt Bacharach , a three-time Oscar winner for his soundtracks.

There were also tributes to Irene Cara , a triple-threat performer known for “Flashdance” and “Fame”; Robbie Coltrane, who played Hagrid in the “Harry Potter” films; Gina Lollobrigida , an Italian actress who rose to fame in the United States in the 1950s”; Mary Alice, who was known for “Sparkle” and “Beat Street” in addition to her stage and television work; Kirstie Alley , who starred in the “Look Who’s Talking” movies; and Louise Fletcher , who won an Oscar for playing Nurse Ratched in “One Flew Over the Cuckoo’s Nest.”

Paired with a performance by Lenny Kravitz, the carousel of memorials included prolific actors ( Irene Papas and Raquel Welch among them); onscreen mobsters ( Ray Liotta , James Caan ); and industry veterans known for their off-camera work (including Tom Whitlock , who co-wrote two songs that helped elevate the 1986 “Top Gun” into a pop-culture phenomenon).

In a rare joke about the In Memoriam segment, the host of the ceremony, Jimmy Kimmel, asked viewers to get out their phones and “vote if you think Robert Blake should be part of the In Memoriam montage,” referring to the actor who was put on trial for the murder of his wife and was acquitted. (The Academy did not include him in the montage.)

Googly eyes forever.

‘Everything Everywhere All at Once’ wins best picture.

“ Everything Everywhere All at Once ,” a tender, world-jumping sci-fi and action drama that features hot-dog fingers, sex toys and a deeply affecting scene between two rocks on a cliff, capped a stunningly successful award-season run on Sunday, winning the Oscar for best picture.

The film, directed by Daniel Kwan and Daniel Scheinert, came into the evening as the favorite for the top award. It earned a total of 11 Oscar nominations and had taken top prizes from the actors, writers, producers and directors guilds earlier in the year. Only four other films (“American Beauty,” “Argo,” “No Country for Old Men” and “Slumdog Millionaire”) have completed that sweep and all went on to best picture.

“ All Quiet on the Western Front ” had been thought to be a potential dark horse as a favorite among older voters in the academy who found “Everything Everywhere” too head-spinning for their taste. But in the end, the eccentric movie, which was a hit among both critics and audiences, continued its hot streak and won big.

Earlier in the evening, Ke Huy Quan won for supporting actor; Jamie Lee Curtis won for supporting actress; Michelle Yeoh won for best actress; Paul Rogers won for editing; and the Daniels won for best director and original screenplay. With the addition of best picture, “Everything Everywhere All at Once” became the film with the most marquee wins in Oscar history. It won seven Oscars in total.

“This is for my dad, who like so many immigrant parents, died young,” Jonathan Wang, a producer of the movie, said in accepting the award. “And he is so proud of me, not because of this. But because we made this movie with what he taught me to do, which is, no person is more important than profits, and no one is more important than anyone else. And these weirdos right here supported me in doing that.”

A24 just swept all six of the top Oscar categories. Unprecedented!

It’s a testament to the Daniels’ achievement that “moms are the real superheroes” is a credible logline for their film and yet somehow it wasn’t pure treacle.

Michelle Yeoh makes history as the first Asian best actress winner at the Oscars.

Michelle Yeoh won the best actress Oscar at Sunday night’s ceremony for her role as a beleaguered wife, mother and laundromat owner whose life is turned upside down when she is thrown into multiple parallel universes in A24’s genre-bending hit “ Everything, Everywhere All at Once .” The victory makes her the first Asian star to win best actress in the 95-year history of the Academy Awards.

“For all the little boys and girls who look like me watching tonight, this is a beacon of hope and possibilities,” she said in accepting her award. “This is proof that dreams — dream big, and dreams do come true. And ladies, don’t let anybody tell you you are ever past your prime. Never give up.”

This was her first Oscar nomination and win after a venerated career that toggled between action-heavy roles (“Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon”) and performances of regal self-containment (“Crazy Rich Asians”). Tonight, she beat out Andrea Riseborough (“To Leslie”), Cate Blanchett (“Tar”), Michelle Williams (“The Fabelmans”) and Ana de Armas (“Blonde”).

Yeoh’s biggest competition came from Blanchett, who won the best actress trophy at the BAFTAs but saw her path to the winner’s circle narrow after Yeoh’s historic win at the SAG Awards, where she became the first Asian star to win the guild’s best actress prize for a film.

All season long, Yeoh has spoken of the obstacles she and other Asian performers have faced in Hollywood. After the Oscar nominations were unveiled in January, she told The Times, “Of course, I’m over the moon, but I feel a little sad because I know we know there have been amazing actresses from Asia that come before me, and I stand on their shoulders.” She added, “I hope this will shatter that frigging glass ceiling to no end, that this will continue, and we will see more of our faces up there.”

Here’s the full text of her acceptance speech on Sunday:

Thank you. Thank you. For all the little boys and girls who look like me watching tonight, this is a beacon of hope and possibilities. This is proof that dreams — dream big, and dreams do come true. And ladies, don’t let anybody tell you you are ever past your prime. Never give up. I wouldn’t be standing here tonight without the Daniels [directors of “Everything Everywhere”], without A24, without my amazing cast and crew, without everyone who was involved with “Everything Everywhere All at Once.” I have to dedicate this to my mom, all the moms in the world. Because they are really the superheroes. And without them, none of us will be here tonight. She’s 84. And I’m taking this home to her. She’s watching right now in Malaysia, K.L., with family and friends. I love you guys. I’m bringing this home to you. And also my extended family in Hong Kong, where I started my career. Thank you for letting me stand on your shoulders, giving me a leg up so that I can be here today. And to my godchildren, to my sisters, all of them, to my brothers. Oh God. To my family, thank you. Thank you. Thank you to the Academy. This is history in the making. Thank you.

Laughing at the hot-dog-finger backdrop to this elegant woman’s poignant speech.

I know. Not the hot-dog fingers.

I just want to state the obvious here, through tears: MICHELLE YEOH HAS AN OSCAR.

I'm beaming!

They brought Halle Berry up there and didn’t let her say Michelle Yeoh’s name?

Or something. She was teary as she greeted her, though. But why not just have let Halle Berry do this category on her own?

Though Brendan Fraser employed possibly every marine metaphor in his speech, it’s notable that — though the Oscars typically love anointing an ingénue — this year’s versions are veteran but long-forgotten actors. Sail on!

Brendan really can’t believe this, either.

Encino Man has an Oscar. This is the night your 8- and 15-year-old faves win stuff.

Paul Mescal wins the award for making me, a non-movie-crier, sob like a lost child on vacation.

Classy Angela Bassett is holding Austin Butler’s hands through this best actor stress. And Brendan Fraser looks looks like he might pass out.

It's unusual for a film with two directors to be nominated for best directing, but not unprecedented. Warren Beatty and Buck Henry were nominated in 1978 for “Heaven Can Wait,” and Joel and Ethan Coen won in 2007 for “No Country for Old Men.”

The amount of celebrating happening with the “EEAAO” crew already is remarkable. Ke Huy Quan and the winning editor were posing for photos with their Oscars during the commercial break while Jamie Lee Curtis was in a long embrace with Daniel Kwan.

Halle Berry will be co-presenting the lead races with Jessica Chastain. That’s a big gamble on Michelle Yeoh winning best actress, and a bad photo op if she doesn’t.

No more commercial breaks, according to the theater announcer. We’re about to get actor, actress and picture in one fell swoop.

The Daniels become the third directing duo to win an Oscar.

Daniel Kwan and Daniel Scheinert won the best director Oscar for their poignant, warmhearted multiverse mash-up, “Everything Everywhere All at Once,” on Sunday night, making them the rare set of paired directors to win the big prize.

Academy officials said they were just the fifth set of director duos to be nominated. Robert Wise and Jerome Robbins won for “West Side Story” (1961) and the Coen brothers won for “No Country for Old Men” (2007), though they later lost for “True Grit” (2010). Warren Beatty and Buck Henry also received a nod but not a statuette, for the 1978 comedy “Heaven Can Wait.”

“Everything Everywhere All at Once,” which premiered last April, was a hit with audiences and critics alike. Although the Daniels gleefully incorporate hot-dog fingers and everything bagels into their head-spinning, world-jumping movie, which they also wrote, the film is, at its core, about family and its many complications. It stars Michelle Yeoh as a laundromat owner at odds with everyone from the I.R.S. to her loving husband and rebellious daughter.

The Daniels, as they are collectively known, came into the night as heavy favorites. Sunday’s win adds another honor to an impressive awards-season run for the Daniels, who also took top prizes at the Directors Guild Awards and the Critics Choice Awards .

Both of the Daniels used their stage time to thank their parents.

“Thank you for not squashing my creativity when I was making really disturbing horror films or really perverted comedy films or dressing in drag as a kid, which is a threat to nobody,” Scheinert said.

“We are all products of our context. We are all descendants of something and someone. And I want to acknowledge my context,” Kwan added. “My immigrant parents, my father who fell in love with movies because he needed to escape the world and thus passed that love of movies onto me. My mother, who was a creative soul, who wanted to be a dancer, an actor and singer, but could not afford the luxury of that life path, and then gave it to me. My incredible brothers and sisters, who helped me survive the chaos of childhood.”

‘Naatu Naatu’ from ‘RRR’ wins best original song.

“Naatu Naatu,” the rollicking dance hit from the Indian blockbuster “RRR,” won the Oscar for best original song, beating out two songs featuring American pop megastars.

It’s not the first Indian number to win the award — that would be A.R. Rahman’s tune for the British-made “Slumdog Millionaire” — but it is the first from an Indian production.

In the Telugu-language film , set in 1920s colonial India, the song figures in a marathon dance-off that was filmed in front of the Mariinsky Palace in Ukraine before the Russian invasion. M. M. Keeravani, the song’s composer, used duffs, an Indian skin drum, for the main beats, adding in mandolins for the melody. The lyricist Chandrabose, who is known for his work in Tollywood, that is, Telugu cinema, has said he wrote most of the words in about an hour.

“I grew up listening to the Carpenters, and now here I am with the Oscars,” Keeravani said in his acceptance speech, singing a rendition of the group’s song “Top of the World” but with lyrics about his joy at winning the award.

What does “Naatu Naatu” mean? As Keeravani explained to The Times, “Naatu means ethnic: something we own ourselves, something completely unique, something that belongs to one’s own identity. That is Naatu. Naatu means country. It’s a song from the countryside. It’s about everything that happened in our own country, in our own village; something you cherish for life.”

The Oscars ceremony included a performance of the song, with its rapid-kick choreography and roguish suspender snapping.

The song beat others from “Top Gun: Maverick,” “Black Panther: Wakanda Forever,” “Everything Everywhere All at Once” and “Tell It Like a Woman.”

Rihanna’s “Black Panther” hit, “Lift Me Up,” was also a front-runner for the award. The hymnlike ballad with a prominent string section was the pop star’s first solo song in years , drawing significant attention. On Sunday, the pop star’s performance ended with a standing ovation.

For “Top Gun,” Lady Gaga performed “Hold My Hand,” an emotional power ballad. Written by Gaga and BloodPop, the song’s music video featured the pop star in classic “Top Gun” apparel: a white tank top, a dog tag necklace and aviator sunglasses.

The nominated song from “Everything Everywhere” was “This Is a Life,” by the indie-rock band Son Lux, featuring Mitski and David Byrne. The song is played in the end credits, and the lyrics — “I choose you, and you choose me” — speak to core messages in the film.

The original song nomination was the only nod for “Tell It Like a Woman,” which features seven short stories with female protagonists, some of them fictional and some inspired by true events. Written by Diane Warren, the song, “Applause,” would have been a major victory for the songwriter after 13 previous nominations in the same category and no wins. She did take home a Governors Award earlier in the season, the Oscar equivalent of a lifetime achievement honor. At that ceremony, held in November, she said, “I’ve waited 34 years to say this: I’d like to thank the academy!”

Everything to know about the Oscars tonight

From a stage streaker and Jennifer Lawrence’s stumble to Will Smith’s slap, here are five of the most unforgettable Oscars moments.

NEW YORK (AP) — Hollywood is gearing up for the 95th Academy Awards, where “Everything Everywhere All at Once” comes in the lead nominee and the film industry will hope to move past “the slap” of last year’s ceremony. Here’s everything you need to know about the 2023 Oscars, including when they are, where to watch the live show and this year’s controversies.

WHEN ARE THE OSCARS?

The Oscars will be held Sunday, March 12, at the Dolby Theatre in Los Angeles. The ceremony is set to begin at 8 p.m. EDT and be broadcast live on ABC.

CAN YOU STREAM THE OSCARS?

The broadcast can be streamed with a subscription to Hulu Live TV, YouTubeTV, AT&T TV and Fubo TV. Some of these services offer brief free trials. Here’s what you need to know about how to watch or stream the show live.

WHO’S HOSTING?

Jimmy Kimmel will host for the third time and his first time since 2018. That was also the last Oscars to feature a solo host. The show went hostless for several years after Kimmel’s last outing. Last year, Regina Hall, Amy Schumer and Wanda Sykes hosted as a trio. In an ad for this year’s show styled after “Top Gun: Maverick,” Kimmel made his humble case for being the right person for the job while noting that he can’t get slapped because “I cry a lot.”

WHAT’S NOMINATED FOR BEST PICTURE AT THE 2023 OSCARS?

The 10 movies competing for best picture are: “All Quiet on the Western Front,” “Avatar: The Way of Water,” “The Banshees of Inisherin,” “Elvis,” “Everything Everywhere All at Once,” “The Fabelmans,” “Tár,” “Top Gun: Maverick,” “Triangle of Sadness,” “Women Talking.” Here’s a guide to how you can watch them.

WHO’S PRESENTING?

Presenters include: Halle Bailey, Antonio Banderas, Elizabeth Banks, Jessica Chastain, John Cho, Andrew Garfield, Hugh Grant, Danai Gurira, Salma Hayek Pinault, Nicole Kidman, Florence Pugh and Sigourney Weaver. They join a previously announced group including: Riz Ahmed, Emily Blunt, Jennifer Connelly, Ariana DeBose, Samuel L. Jackson, Dwayne Johnson, Michael B. Jordan, Troy Kotsur, Jonathan Majors, Melissa McCarthy, Janelle Monáe, Deepika Padukone, Questlove, Zoe Saldaña and Donnie Yen. A third wave was announced Thursday: Halle Berry, Paul Dano, Cara Delevingne, Harrison Ford, Kate Hudson, Mindy Kaling, Eva Longoria, Julia Louis-Dreyfus, Andie MacDowell, Elizabeth Olsen, Pedro Pascal and John Travolta.

Glenn Close was going to present, but had to bow out after testing positive for COVID-19, her representative said Sunday.

WHAT ELSE IS IN STORE FOR THE SHOW?

The Academy of Motion Pictures Arts and Sciences has said that winners to all categories will be announced live on the show. (Last year, some categories were taped in a pre-show, something that caused an uproar among academy members.) There will be a full slate of musical performances, with Rihanna performing “Lift Me Up” from “Black Panther: Wakanda Forever” and Rahul Sipligunj and Kaala Bhairava singing Chandrabose and M.M. Keeravaani’s “Naatu Naatu” from “RRR.” Though producers earlier had said Lady Gaga would not perform “Hold My Hand” from “Top Gun: Maverick,” a person close to the production with knowledge of the performance confirmed Sunday afternoon that the pop superstar will sing it, after all.

WHO ARE THE FAVORITES?

Daniel Kwan and Daniel Scheinert’s indie sci-fi hit “Everything Everywhere All at Once” comes in with a leading 11 nominations. Close on its heels, though, is the Irish friends-falling-out dark comedy “The Banshees of Inisherin,” with nine nods, a total matched by Netflix’s WWI film “All Quiet on the Western Front.” Michelle Yeoh (“Everything Everywhere All at Once”) may have a slight edge on Cate Blanchett (“Tár”) for best actress. Best actor is harder to call, with Brendan Fraser (“The Whale”) and Austin Butler (“Elvis”) in the mix. In the supporting categories, Angela Bassett (“Black Panther: Wakanda Forever”) and Ke Huy Quan (“Everything Everywhere All at Once”) are the frontrunners, though Jamie Lee Curtis’ Screen Actors Guild Awards win may have thrown a wrench into the supporting actress category. Steven Spielberg (“The Fabelmans”) may win his third best director Oscar, though the Daniels may have emerged as the frontrunners. AP Film Writers Lindsey Bahr and Jake Coyle are predicting a big haul for “Everything Everywhere All at Once.”

WHAT’S BEEN CONTROVERSIAL THIS YEAR?

Aside from the usual snubs and surprises, this year’s biggest to-do has been the debate surrounding Andrea Riseborough’s unexpected nomination for best actress. Riseborough was nominated for the little-seen, Texas-set drama “To Leslie” after many A-list stars rallied around her performance. When two other best-actress contenders — Danielle Deadwyler (“Till”) and Viola Davis (“Woman King”) — were snubbed, some saw that as a reflection of racial bias in the film industry . The academy launched an inquiry into the star-studded, grassroots campaign for Riseborough but found no reason to rescind her nomination.

WHAT ELSE SHOULD YOU LOOK FOR?

Just the reading of the title to one of this year’s short film nominees should prompt a wave of giggles. John Williams (“The Fabelmans”), up for best score, is the oldest nominee ever, at 90 years old. After historic back-to-back best-director wins by Chloé Zhao (“Nomadland”) and Jane Campion (“The Power of the Dog”) , no women were nominated this year for best director. Also don’t expect to see Will Smith at the Oscars anytime soon. After striking Chris Rock at last year’s ceremony, Smith was banned by the film academy from attending for 10 years . In a live Netflix special on Saturday, Rock finally punched back at Smith with a blistering stand-up set about the incident.

That was a total of 7 Oscar wins for 'Everything Everywhere All at Once'

By Emily Olson

Best picture winner Everything Everywhere All at Once won 7 of the 11 awards it was nominated for.

For a moment there earlier in the night, it looked like the more traditional All Quiet on the Western Front might give the inventive Everything Everywhere All at Once a run for the money. But in the end, the latter took home seven titles to All Quiet 's four — if that's not a sweep, we're not sure what is.

Here's the seven new titles for Everything Everywhere All at Once :

• Best picture
• Best actress, Michelle Yeoh
• Best directing, Daniel Kwan and Daniel Scheinert
• Best film editing, Paul Rogers
• Best original screenplay, Daniel Kwan and Daniel Scheinert
• Best actress in a supporting role, Jamie Lee Curtis
• Best actor in a supporting role, Ke Huy Quan

The film fell short in costume design, original score and best song.

A down year for Black nominees

By Eric Deggans

Even as Asian performers and filmmakers notched historic gains at this year’s Oscars, Black nominees fared poorly, with only Ruth E. Carter winning best costume design for her work on the film Black Panther: Wakanda Forever.

This shutout for Black performers hasn’t happened since 2020 when the South Korean film Parasite won many key categories, and Cynthia Erivo was the only Black performer nominated.

It’s a sad reminder that the Oscars remain a space that often makes room for one non-white group among winners in its top categories, often represented by one successful film.

The best idea of the night was asking Harrison Ford to present the best picture Oscar

By Glen Weldon

Harrison Ford presented the best picture award — a canny move by the evening’s producers, who were clearly betting on an Everything Everywhere All at Once win, as it would reunite Ford and Quan, who starred together in Indiana Jones and the Temple of Doom 39 years ago. The two shared a warm embrace.

The fantasy film about motherhood, love, googly eyes and the multiverse took home the Academy Award for best picture.

The film, directed by Daniel Kwan and Daniel Scheinert — who’d picked up Oscars for original screenplay and directing earlier in the evening — was widely favored to win best picture. But the evening began with All Quiet on the Western Front racking up several Oscar statuettes, causing some to wonder if it might be the German war film’s night.

Everything Everywhere All at Once went into tonight’s ceremony with 11 nominations, of which it won seven, including best picture, director (Kwan and Scheinert), lead actress (Michelle Yeoh), supporting actress (Jamie Lee Curtis) supporting actor (Ke Huy Quan), original screenplay and editing.

It was a night of historic wins and safe jokes

For a show that aimed to give screen time to all of its 23 awards, this year’s Oscars proceeded at a brisk pace – just 40 minutes or so over the expected three-hour running time and filled with jokes from host Jimmy Kimmel about the length (even as the show ended, he cracked that viewers would be “joining Good Morning America , already in progress.”)

It was a ceremony that made history for the honors handed to Asian performers and filmmakers – thanks, in part, to the immense success of Everything Everywhere All at Once – and a party that was so set on honoring Hollywood that there was little fear anyone would derail the ceremony the way Will Smith did by slapping Chris Rock last year.

Perhaps because so many of the winners were expected – Michelle Yeoh and Ke Huy Quan from Everything Everywhere , especially – the show didn’t feel as unpredictable or daring as it could. Producers were often merciless about hustling winners off when their acceptance speeches got long. And Kimmel’s earnest words about honoring Hollywood ensured the onstage jokes would only go so far – as when he called Steven Spielberg and Seth Rogen the Joe and Hunter Biden of Hollywood.

It was a night of inspiring, historic wins and safe jokes - just the kind of evening the Academy was likely hoping for after the bedlam of last year’s ceremony.

Brendan Fraser completes the Brenaissance with an Oscar win

By Stephen Thompson

Brendan Fraser’s win concluded an Oscar-night shutout for The Banshees of Inisherin, Elvis , Aftersun and Living .

Fraser, whose unlikely career trajectory has included Encino Man , George of the Jungle and a long hiatus marked by health issues, completed his comeback Sunday night, winning best actor for The Whale . The film drew harsh criticism for its portrayal of a 600-pound gay shut-in, but Fraser’s performance was strong enough to make him an Oscar winner.

The ceremony is over, but the NPR after-party is just getting started

The final credits may be rolling, but we're sticking around a bit longer to parse tonight's big moments.

So grab a refill on your popcorn or drinks (or both!) and stay with us.

Michelle Yeoh wins best actress for her role in 'Everything Everywhere All at Once'

Michelle Yeoh has won best actress for her role in Everything Everywhere All at Once , another key win for the best picture nominee.

Yeoh is the first Asian woman to win best actress.

Yeoh beat out Ana de Armas, Blonde ; Cate Blanchett, Tár ; Andrea Riseborough, To Leslie and Michelle Williams, The Fabelmans .

Brendan Fraser wins lead actor for his performance in 'The Whale'

Brendan Fraser takes the statuette for best lead actor for his performance in The Whale .

Fraser beat out Colin Farrell, The Banshees of Inisherin ; Austin Butler, Elvis ; Bill Nighy, Living ; and Paul Mescal, Aftersun.

Don't go far: best actress is up next.

Daniel Kwan and Daniel Scheinert win best director for 'Everything Everywhere All at Once'

Daniel Kwan and Daniel Scheinert are taking home another award for Everything Everywhere All at Once , this time for best director.

Here are the nominees that the pair beat out: Martin McDonagh for The Banshees of Inisherin, Steven Spielberg for The Fabelmans , Todd Field for Tár and Ruben Ostlund for Triangle of Sadness.

This In Memoriam segment had something extra

Besides a legitimately moving intro from a choked-up John Travolta, who was clearly going through it, having lost his dear friends Olivia Newton-John and Kirstie Alley this year.

If you noticed, the producers decided to add a small Oscar statuette next to the names of those people who’d won an Academy Award in their lifetime.

The In Memoriam segment always flirts with tackiness, given the audience’s determination to cheer for the biggest names. But this felt … kinda gross, no?

'Everything Everywhere All at Once' wins award for best editing

That's another award for best picture nominee Everything Everywhere All at Once: best film editing.

Everything Everywhere All at Once beat out nominees The Banshees of Inisherin ; Elvis; Tár; and Top Gun: Maverick.

Lenny Kravitz performs for the in-memoriam segment

As is tradition at every Oscars ceremony, audiences are remembering the those in the film industry who passed away in the last year.

"They've touched our hearts, they've made us smile, and became dear friends, who we will always remain hopelessly devoted to," said presenter John Travolta, who remembered his friend and former co-star, Olivia Newton-John.

Lenny Kravitz provided the sound-track for the segment, performing "Calling all Angels".

This thing could be so much longer

Consider: They’re introducing tonight’s best picture nominees with an offscreen announcer.

In years past, that job has been done by presenters. Actors who walk out, pause, engage in stiff presenter banter, and then introduce the best picture nominees.

It seems like a small tweak but it’s easily shaving, what, at least ten minutes off this broadcast?

'Top Gun: Maverick' wins Oscar for best sound

Top Gun: Maverick won the Oscar for best sound.

With its win, the film beat fellow category nominees Avatar: The Way of Water, Elvis, The Batman and All Quiet on the Western Front.

Who gets played off, and who doesn’t?

It happens every Oscars — enthusiastic winners get played off before they can finish their speeches. Unfortunate but understandable; the producers are just trying to keep things tight.

But there’s generally an effort made to seem egalitarian, or at the very least, consistent.

Not so tonight. Based on this year’s broadcast, here’s a couple things to keep in mind to avoid the hook, when you make your Oscars speech.

1. Be a team of one.  Producers cued the orchestra tonight when the winners for makeup and hairstyling, documentary short and visual effects tried to hand off the mic to a second speaker. 

2. Be an actor, writer, director or composer. It’s one of the cruelest ironies of the Oscars that the folks who win in categories like those listed above — who don’t have regular access to huge platforms — are the most likely to get played off. It’s a big deal for them! Maybe the biggest of their lives! Let them speak!

Hang in there, Jimmy ...

Midway through the Oscars, host Jimmy Kimmel seemed a little low on energy, constantly cracking jokes about how long the ceremony was and noting at one moment, “this point in the show kinda makes you miss the slapping, huh?”

Still, he managed a few cute moments, walking onstage with a donkey he said was from the film The Banshees of Inisherin and walking into the audience to ask questions of stars like Nobel Prize winner Malala Yousafzai.

He asked Yousafzai, “As the youngest Nobel Prize winner in history, I was wondering, do you think Harry Styles spit on Chris Pine?”

Her answer was both wise and TV savvy: “I only talk about peace.”

Cheer up, Jimmy; you’ve only got another four hours or so to go.

Women Talking wins Oscar for best writing (adapted screenplay)

Women Talking has bested Living, All Quiet on the Western Front, Top Gun: Maverick and Glass Onion: A Knives Out Mystery.

'Everything Everywhere All at Once' wins Oscar for writing (original screenplay)

Everything Everywhere All at Once won the Oscar for writing (original screenplay).

With this win, Everything Everywhere All at Once beat Triangle of Sadness, Tar, The Banshees of Inisherin and The Fabelmans.

Rihanna performs ‘Lift Me Up’ with an orchestra

Rihanna closed out Oscar night’s best original song performances with a stately take on “Lift Me Up” from Black Panther: Wakanda Forever , aided by an orchestra and a choir. Unlike Lady Gaga, who transformed her maximalist movie anthem “Hold My Hand” into something intimate and contained, Rihanna and her accompanists gave “Lift Me Up” a grandness it wore well. It’s still not a terribly eventful song, but she leaned into it.

Rihanna has had a big 2023: She’s already performed at the Super Bowl, announced her pregnancy and performed at the Oscars. Here’s hoping a long-awaited album is next in the queue.

'Avatar: The Way of Water' wins Oscar for best visual effects

Avatar: The Way of Water won the Oscar for best visual effects.

With its win, Avatar: The Way of Water beat The Batman, Top Gun: Maverick, All Quiet on the Western Front and Black Panther: Wakanda Forever.

Here's the award count so far:

Does it feel like things are heating up a bit for All Quiet on the Western Front ? The war movie has just pulled ahead of the pack, but we're only just halfway through the awards, with 10 awards still to go.

Here's how the best picture nominees have fared so far:

• All Quiet on the Western Front — 4
• Everything Everywhere All at Once — 2
• No awards yet for the 8 others

➡️If you need a complete list of winners, head here.

For ‘Hold My Hand,’ Lady Gaga dials it way back

Clad in a black T-shirt, with closeups suggesting that she’d recently wiped off lipstick, Gaga leaned into intimacy — an intriguing approach for such a maximalist movie song. This isn’t Gaga’s first Oscars rodeo (she won best original song in 2019 for “Shallow,” from A Star Is Born ), so it shouldn’t come as a surprise that she made a moment of it.

If you want a sense of what Lady Gaga’s “Hold My Hand” might sound if she’d stripped it down for the Tiny Desk — and, as a side note, that can happen if she wishes — her Oscars performance provided a clear approximation.

All Quiet on the Western Front wins Oscar for best music (original score)

With its fifth win of the evening, All Quiet on the Western Front beat Babylon, Everything Everywhere All at Once, The Banshees of Inisherin and The Fabelmans.

'All Quiet on the Western Front' wins Oscar for best production design

All Quiet on the Western Front won the Oscar for best production design.

In its fourth win of the evening, All Quiet on the Western Front beat Elvis, Babylon, The Fabelmans and Avatar: The Way of Waster.

Ruth Carter’s win was historic

By Aisha Harris

Fun fact, in case you missed it: when Ruth Carter took home the costume award for Wakanda Forever earlier in the evening, she became the first Black woman to win more than one Oscar. Her previous win was for Black Panther , and that win was also historic — she was the first Black person to win in that category in 2019.

The Boy, the Mole, the Fox and the Horse wins Oscar for best short film (animated)

The Boy, the Mole, the Fox and the Horse won the Oscar for best short film (animated).

It beat fellow nominees My Year of Dicks, An Ostrich Told Me the World is Fake And I Think I Believe It, The Flying Sailor and Ice Merchants.

'The Elephant Whisperers' wins Oscar for best documentary short film

The Elephant Whisperers won the Oscar for best documentary short film.

It beat out fellow nominees How Do You Measure A Year?, Stranger at the Gate, Haulout and The Martha Mitchell Effect.

‘Naatu Naatu’ gets its big production number at the Oscars

Performed by Rahul Sipligunj and Kaala Bhairava, “Naatu Naatu” might have been even more welcome later in the ceremony. But its big onstage Oscars moment — and the standing ovation that followed — gave the telecast a boost of joy and enthusiasm that’s always welcome.

For anyone who viewed its viral video or the many TikTok dances it spawned, Sunday night’s performance of RRR ’s “Naatu Naatu” provided one of Oscar night’s most anticipated moments. The film’s stars (Ram Charan and N.T. Rama Rao Jr.) weren’t part of the production, but the dancers on hand effectively matched the film’s impeccable and boundless energy.

There’s a whole lotta ads in this Oscars ceremony

A 3-ish minute sneak peek at the upcoming remake of Disney’s The Little Mermaid introduced by its stars Halle Bailey and Melissa McCarthy. A “salute” to the Warner Bros. company. A plug for the Academy Museum of Motion Pictures. So far, these have been shoehorned into the Oscars telecast. Yet, in his opening monologue, Jimmy Kimmel cracked a joke about how the viewers who rallied for all the award categories to be included in the broadcast – unlike last year – would be to blame for the ceremony running many, many hours long. Hmm…

Spielberg on Spielberg

By Bob Mondello

Although The Fabelmans is a lightly fictionalized version of filmmaker Steven Spielberg’s life, it is not a tale he’s regaling audiences with for the first time.

“I’ve told this story in parts and parcels all through my career,” he said at the Golden Globes.

And indeed, armed with The Fabelmans as a key to unlock the code of his other pictures, it's easy for audiences to tease out what he means. From scenes of clowning around with a Super 8 camera and props in a closet that look a lot like Elliott and his otherworldly guest in E.T., to battlefield epics inspired by his dad’s war stories, to fractured families much like Spielberg’s own (his parents divorced while he was still in his teens), to tales of Jewish family life and encounters with antisemitism that informed the making of films like Munich and Schindler’s List , the arc of his career comes into focus.

Plenty of filmmakers have found inspiration in their own stories, but Spielberg has made The Fabelmans more than just a sentimental self-portrait. Instead, he’s given audiences a glimpse of a filmmaker's childhood as a filmmaker -- a sort of master class in how heart affects art.

Read more about how Spielberg has been telling his story all along — if you were paying attention.

'All Quiet on the Western Front' wins Oscar for best international feature film

All Quiet on the Western Front won the Oscar for Best International Feature Film.

All Quiet on the Western Front snagged its third win of the evening. The film beat out E0, The Quiet Girl, Close and Argentina, 1985.

The Makeup and Hairstyling award for ‘The Whale’ feels icky

We talked about it more in-depth in our Pop Culture Happy Hour episode dedicated to The Whale . But awarding this movie feels like the conversations around Hollywood’s treatment of fat people and actors still have a long way to go.

The award for best makeup and hairstyling went to The Whale , which isn’t exactly a surprise. Much – if not most – of the press around the movie has been focused on star Brendan Fraser’s “ transformation ” into his character Charlie, a 600-pound house-bound recluse. The win feels more than a bit icky, however, considering the fact that Fraser had to undergo the transformation at all; ‘Why didn’t they hire an actual fat actor for this role?’ is a question many of us have asked. (Along with, ‘Why did this movie have to be made in the first place?’)

'Black Panther: Wakanda Forever' wins Oscar for best costume design

Black Panther: Wakanda Forever won the Oscar for best costume design.

Ruth E. Carter's designs beat out those of Elvis, Mrs. Harris Goes to Paris, Everything Everywhere All at Once and Babylon.

The Whale wins Oscar for Best Makeup and Hairstyling

The Whale wins Oscar for best makeup and hairstyling.

The Whale beat Black Panther: Wakanda Forever, The Batman, All Quiet on the Western Front and Elvis.

‘This Is a Life’ performance swaps Mitski for Stephanie Hsu

In a performance that embraced chaos to match the movie that spawned it, Son Lux and David Byrne performed best original song nominee “This Is a Life” with a special guest: actress Stephanie Hsu, who stood in for an absent Mitski.

Vocally, it was a bit all over the place, as seemingly thousands of Twitter users typed “where is mitski” into their search bars simultaneously. But it was, appropriately enough, a visual feast: Byrne wore hot-dog fingers, dancers wore googly eyes on their foreheads, Raccacoonie made an appearance, the works.

'All Quiet on the Western Front' wins Oscar for best cinematography

All Quiet on the Western Front won the Oscar for best cinematography.

It beat out fellow nominees including Empire of Light, Tar, Elvis and Bardo, False Chronicles of a Handful of Truths.

‘Everything Everywhere All at Once’ looks like a juggernaut so far

Everything Everywhere All at Once is no sure thing in other categories. Lead-actress nominee Michelle Yeoh is up against Tár powerhouse Cate Blanchett, among others, and the film’s directors, Daniels, are up against the likes of Steven Spielberg. But this could be one of those years in which one film dominates the night.

If you’re looking for an overarching theme from tonight’s Academy Awards, Jamie Lee Curtis’ best supporting actress win portends a big one: This is already gearing up to be an enormous night for Everything Everywhere All at Once .

Ke Huy Quan has long been a frontrunner for best supporting actor, so that moment was no surprise. But Angela Bassett was widely considered a likely winner for Black Panther: Wakanda Forever . Curtis’ win — against, among others, co-star Stephanie Hsu, with whom she was splitting votes — suggests a deep well of support for the film, which was already leading the Oscars field with 11 nominations.

Guillermo del Toro’s Pinocchio’ wins best animated feature

Guillermo del Toro’s Pinocchio , an ambitious stop-motion retelling of the classic children’s story, won best animated feature at Sunday’s Academy Awards. It’s the third Oscar for del Toro, who won twice for The Shape of Water in 2018.

The film, which expands on the classic story to include deeper references to grief and fascism, had performed well across this awards season and bested a field rounded out by Marcel the Shell with Shoes On, Puss in Boots: The Last Wish, The Sea Beast and Turning Red .

In accepting the award for Pinocchio , del Toro issued a plea for audiences and awards to take the film’s medium seriously, imploring the Oscars crowd to “keep animation in the conversation."

An Irish Goodbye wins Oscar for Best Short Film (Live Action)

An Irish Goodbye won the Oscar for Best Short Film (Live Action).

The film beat out fellow nominees including The Red Suitcase, Night Ride, The Pupils, and Ivalu.

Navalny wins Best Documentary (Feature) at the Oscars

Daniel Roher's Navalny won Best Documentary (Feature) at the Oscars.

Navalny beat out four other nominees: All That Breathes, All the Beauty and the Bloodshed , Fire of Love, and A House Made of Splinters .

Diane Warren and Sofia Carson perform best original song nominee, "Applause"

Cara Delevingne introduced actress Sofia Carson and the 14-time Academy Award nominee Diane Warren for the first song performance of the night.

Carson sang "Applause" from Tell it Like a Woman .

Kimmel kicks off the Oscars

Host Jimmy Kimmel offered a slyly naughty, yet ultimately pro-Hollywood monologue at the Oscars, joking that superstar director Steven Spielberg had to be high on something when he directed E.T.

“You mean to tell me you were sober when you made a movie about an alien that eats Reese’s Pieces every day?”

He poked at Will Smith’s slap of Chris Rock last year by joking: “If anyone in this theater commits an act of violence at any point during the show, you will be awarded the Oscar for best actor and permitted to give a 19-minute long speech.”

He also drew sustained applause by noting that producers decided awards in all categories would be presented live again – which didn’t happen last year – warning that winners who speak too long would be danced offstage by performers from the movie RRR .

“No complaining about how long the show is,” Kimmel cracked. “I saw all your movies. Now it’s my turn to make you sit in a theater for three and a half hours.”

Jamie Lee Curtis wins Best Supporting Actress

Jamie Lee Curtis won the Oscar for best supporting actress for her performance in Everything Everywhere All At Once .

Curtis beat out Angela Bassett in Black Panther: Wakanda Forever, Hong Chau in The Whale , Kerry Condon in The Banshees of Inisherin , and her Everything Everywhere All at Once castmate Stephanie Hsu.

Ke Huy Quan wins best supporting actor

Ke Huy Quan has won the Academy Award for best-supporting actor for his role in Everything Everywhere All at Once.

Here's the nominees he beat out: Brian Tyree Henry, Causeway ; Judd Hirsch, The Fabelmans ; Brendan Gleeson, Banshees on Inisherin ; Barry Keoghan, Banshees of Inisherin.

2023 was a record year for Asian actors at the Oscars

No matter who takes home the gold statuettes tonight, 2023 will be remembered as a watershed year for Asian actors at the Oscars.

Four Oscar nominations for Asian performers in a single year is a record. Three of them – Michelle Yeoh, who is competing for best actress, Ke Huy Quan (best supporting actor) and Stephanie Hsu (best supporting actress) – play the laundromat-owning multiverse-hopping family in Everything Everywhere All at Once . Also in the supporting actress category is Hong Chau, who plays the best friend of Brendan Fraser's title character in The Whale .

While there are also Asian directors and screenwriters among this year’s nominees, in other respects, 2023 represents a step back from diversity for the Motion Picture Academy. With no Black actors nominated for lead performances and no women feature directors nominated, there are still areas of the multiverse that need exploring.

Check out our interviews with Ke Huy Quan and Michelle Yeoh and read more about this record nominations year.

A last-minute menu for your Oscar party

It’s here at last. Hollywood’s Biggest Night TM , when The Stars Come Out to Shine TM . Tinseltown’s Annual Tribute to Dreams Made of Shadow and Light TM . The Gay Super Bowl TM .

Which is all well and good, but you’ve got people coming over and you need to supply them with enough grub to fuel them through an opening monologue, 23 categories (each one of which comes factory-installed with cringeworthy banter and a speech), one Thalberg , five best song performances, one In Memoriam segment and an endless succession of pointless, time-eating montages.

It’ll be a long haul, but if you take our advice, your guests will leave with full bellies at the end of the broadcast, or when the sun comes up over Santa Monica Boulevard, whichever comes first.

All Quiet on the Western Runts This is just a bowl of that hard, shiny, tooth-chipping candy shaped like fruit. Be sure to provide an empty, smaller bowl next to the bowl you serve the candy in so that your guests can discard the gross banana ones, otherwise you’ll be finding them stuffed between your couch cushions and dumped behind your ficus for weeks.

Avatar: The Whey of Water Fitness-oriented guests who turn up their noses at your other offerings will be grateful for this blueberry smoothie made with plant-based protein powder.

The Banshees of Inisherbert To truly capture the tragicomic melancholy of McDonagh’s film, this frozen dessert is prepared with cream, egg whites, Guinness and despair.

Tagliattelvis  Serve this pasta either with a sauce of bacon fat and peanut butter, or all by its lonesome, tonight.

Everything Everywhere All at Bundts Make many different cakes using the same Bundt pan but using wildly different recipes, at least one of which should be a glamorous movie star. Googly eyes recommended but not necessary.

The Fabelmints A cut-glass candy dish of soft pillow mints alongside a tiny screen showing a faded projection of those same mints, on a loop.

Steak TÁRtare Raw ground beef with onions, capers and Worcestershire sauce, topped with an egg yolk. When you ask your guests who wants seconds, they’ll shout, “Me, too!”

Top Gum: Maverick They say you shouldn’t serve gum at a party. Throw that rule book in the wastebasket, you square-jawed iconoclast!

Triangle(s) of Sadness Don’t bother with a bowl. Just rip open a bag of Cool Ranch Doritos, leave it on the table and call it a day.

Women Tal-King Crab Legs Serve steamed, but make sure to keep the legs modestly covered under thick wool at all times.

First Timers Club

By Linda Holmes

Of the 20 nominees in acting categories this year, 16 are first-timers. Only Cate Blanchett, Michelle Williams, Judd Hirsch and Angela Bassett have been nominated before. Only Blanchett has ever won (twice).

The flood of newcomers includes the entire best actor field — Austin Butler for Elvis , Colin Farrell for The Banshees of Inisherin , Brendan Fraser for The Whale , Bill Nighy for Living , and Paul Mescal for Aftersun . Butler and Fraser have won most of the so-called precursor awards; Butler won the Golden Globe, Fraser won the Screen Actors Guild Award.

There are new nominees who have been around for long enough that their lack of prior nominations feels surprising, like Nighy or Jamie Lee Curtis. But there are also some who are much newer to the scene, like Butler and Stephanie Hsu. And, too, there are comeback stories in both Fraser and Ke Huy Quan, who have both been welcomed as evidence that perseverance can work, even in a punishing industry.

A preview of what’s to come tonight

History’s already been made at the 95th Academy Awards, no matter who takes home the gold statues.

• More Asian actors have been nominated than in any year in Oscars history.
• 91-year-old composer John Williams is not only the oldest Oscar nominee ever, with 53 career nods he’s also Oscar’s most-nominated living artist. 
• Steven Spielberg is the only director to be nominated in each of six decades.
• Angela Bassett is the first Marvel Cinematic Universe performer to be nominated (after 22 years and 31 movies).

Of course, history was made last year, too – the first deaf best actor ( Troy Kotsur ), the first best picture win for a streaming service ( CODA ) – only to be overshadowed by a less salutary, if also history-making “Oscar Slap.”

With Will Smith now banned from the ceremony and protocols in place for handling problems, a repeat is unlikely. But viewership is expected to bounce back, both because of the slap’s notoriety, and because the year’s two biggest blockbusters, Top Gun: Maverick and Avatar: The Way of Water , are nominated for best picture.

Here’s a prediction: The winner will be…

… announced after viewers on the East Coast have gone to bed.

Where to find all the looks from the (not) red carpet

Hollywood's biggest stars are making their way into Los Angeles' Dolby Theatre for tonight's ceremony. But in a break with the 62-year tradition, they're walking down a champagne-colored carpet.

What happened to the red color? The organizers said they wanted the space to feel mellow, like walking on a beach at sunset, according to a report from The New York Times.

Is it throwing everyone off their fashion game? Decide for yourself — here's NPR's list of the most memorable looks.

How to watch the Oscars tonight

By Teresa Xie

Here's everything you need to know about the 95th Academy Awards ceremony:

When are the Oscar Awards this year?

The 95th Academy Awards ceremony will air on Sunday, March 12 at 8 p.m. E.T. with a red carpet pre-show beginning at 6:30 p.m. E.T. The ceremony will take place at the Dolby Theatre in Los Angeles.

How do I watch them? What if I don't have cable?

ABC will exclusively broadcast the Oscars live. Cable subscribers can tune into the ceremony on their TV, or livestream it on abc.com and through the ABC app.

Don't have cable? You can watch the ceremony through streaming services including Hulu + Live TV, fuboTV, Sling TV, and YouTube TV. Many of them have free trials!

What should I expect from this year's ceremony?

Unlike last year's ceremony, which saw three hosts, Jimmy Kimmel will be the only one leading the 2023 award proceedings. This will be the comedian and late-night talk show host's third time emceeing the event.

This year, all 23 categories will also be broadcasted live. Last year, the academy made a controversial decision to present eight categories (film editing, original score, production design, makeup and hairstyling, animated short, documentary short, live action short and sound mixing) off air – taping them before the broadcast and editing highlights into the show.

Who is performing?

Following her Superbowl halftime show, Rihanna will sing her Oscar-nominated song "Lift Me Up" from Black Panther: Wakanda Forever . Sofia Carson and Diane Warren will take the stage to perform their Oscar-nominated song "Applause" from Tell It Like a Woman . David Byrne, Son Lux, and Stephanie Hsu will perform their Oscar-nominated song "This Is a Life" from Everything Everywhere All at Once . And RRR 's "Naatu Naatu" will be performed live by Rahul Sipligunj and Kaala Bhairava.

Who are the favored contenders?

Daniel Kwan and Daniel Scheinert's Everything Everywhere All at Once leads with 11 nominations. Following with nine nods each are Martin McDonagh's The Banshees of Inisherin and Netflix's World War I film All Quiet on the Western Front .

Angela Bassett's supporting actress nomination for her role as Queen Ramonda in Black Panther: Wakanda Forever is the Marvel franchise's first Oscar nomination in an acting category. And Michelle Yeoh makes history as the first Asian-identifying nominee for best actress.

2023 Oscars: How to watch and what to know about this year's Academy Awards

By Emily Mae Czachor

March 10, 2023 / 6:57 PM EST / CBS News

The 95th Academy Awards this Sunday bring distinguished stars and behind-the-scenes players from across the film industry to Los Angeles for Hollywood's biggest night of the year. 

Hosted for a third time by late-night personality Jimmy Kimmel, the ceremony is set to begin at 8 p.m. ET at L.A.'s Dolby Theatre. ABC will broadcast the show live, with options to livestream the event on its app or website (with a verified cable or satellite provider).

In addition to the nominees , expected attendees at the Oscars include a stacked roster of presenters, like Riz Ahmed, Emily Blunt, Glenn Close, Jennifer Connelly, Ariana DeBose, Samuel L. Jackson, Dwayne Johnson, Michael B. Jordan , Troy Kotsur, Jonathan Majors, Melissa McCarthy, Janelle Monáe and more. 

The show will also feature musical sets by Rihanna , who is due to perform "Lift Me Up" from "Black Panther: Wakanda Forever"; Rahul Sipligunj and Kala Bhairava, who will sing MM Keeravaani's "Naatu Naatu" from "RRR"; and Lenny Kravitz, who will deliver the night's "In Memoriam." Lady Gaga was originally scheduled to perform "Hold My Hand" from "Top Gun: Maverick," but later canceled due to scheduling conflicts, an Oscars producer confirmed this week.

"Everything Everywhere All at Once," Daniel Kwan and Daniel Scheinert's universe-jumping sci-fi knockout, leads this year's Oscar nominations with 11 nods from the Academy of Motion Picture Arts and Sciences, with at least one in every major category. Trailing closely behind are Martin McDonagh's "The Banshees of Inisherin" and Netflix's German-language film "All Quiet on the Western Front," from director Edward Berger, with nine nominations each.

The spread of contenders for this year's most prestigious accolades looks different than those at the last couple of Oscars ceremonies. Where projects backed by streaming services took many of the highest honors in 2022, the tides turned in 2023 to recognize a number of larger-than-life movies that performed well at the box office and pulled audiences back to theaters. They are accompanied by hard-hitting dramas and semi-nonfiction films, and, as usual, the prize in several leading Oscars categories could be anyone's game. Here is what to expect from the award ceremony's top contests.

Best Picture

Arguably the most coveted award of the night, the Oscar for best picture will be chosen from a competitive pool of 10 nominees. This year's entrants span a broad range of genres, styles and subject matters, with popcorn picks like "Top Gun: Maverick" up against multiple critically acclaimed films, many of which are darker in tone, even the satires.

Clear frontrunners in the race for best picture are: "Everything Everywhere All At Once," the chaotic sensation from creators Daniel Kwan and Daniel Scheinert whose genre-bending plot delivered to audiences exactly what its title promised;  "Tár," the psychological drama by Todd Field that had a strong start in the festival circuit and became an instant favorite in critics' circles; "The Banshees of Inisherin," Martin McDonagh's deadpan tragic comedy that hearkened back to his roots as a playwright and was praised as a clever allegory for the Irish Civil War; and "The Fabelmans," Steven Spielberg's semi-autobiographical family drama that charmed cinephiles and reviewers alike.

• 2023 Oscars: Watch scenes from the best picture nominees

Each film has already won recognition this awards season, with "Everything Everywhere All At Once," "Tár," "The Banshees of Inisherin" and "The Fabelmans" taking top spots at the Critics Choice Awards, the Screen Actors Guild Awards and the Golden Globes , potentially foreshadowing how they will fare at the Oscars. 

Buzz surrounding Sunday's ceremony mainly places "Everything Everywhere All At Once" as the obvious choice for best picture, given its impressive track record of nominations and previous wins. In addition to leading the Oscars roster, it won the top titles at the SAG, Producers Guild, Directors Guild and Writers Guild Awards, tying a record only met by four previous Oscar winners for best picture: "American Beauty," "No Country for Old Men," "Slumdog Millionaire" and "Argo." But because "Everything Everywhere All At Once" rebels against structural and narrative conventions, an analogous predecessor has not been seen before in this Oscars category and some argue it could be too offbeat to earn a majority of votes from AMPAS.

The German antiwar film "All Quiet on the Western Front" may be the dark horse of the Oscars' best picture race, although critics disagree on whether the film is as powerful as it intends. Edward Berger's remake of the American World War I epic of the same name — which won the Oscar for best picture in 1930, alongside several other accolades — took home the highest honors at this year's British Academy Film Awards and earned widespread critical acclaim despite a relative lack of publicity in the U.S. The success of Alfonso Cuarón's 2019 best picture nominee "Roma" and Bong Joon Ho's 2020 winner "Parasite" have paved the way for other foreign-language films to be taken seriously in this category. Plus, history shows war stories tend to perform well at the Oscars.

But arguments could be made for any one of this year's best picture nominees as plausible candidates to win. Rounding out the category are the blockbusters "Top Gun: Maverick" and "Avatar: The Way of Water," the biopic "Elvis," which was also a huge commercial success, the social satire "Triangle of Sadness" and the sobering drama "Women Talking."

Best Actress

The Oscar category for best actress was steeped in controversy when nominations were unveiled at the end of January. In an unusual turn, Andrea Riseborough, who starred as an addict attempting recovery in the small independent film "To Leslie," earned a nomination after a relatively brief but fervent grassroots campaign driven by celebrities like Gwyneth Paltrow, Kate Winslet and Cate Blanchett, who is also nominated for "Tár." 

• 2023 Oscars: Watch scenes of the best actress nominees

Riseborough's nod drew public backlash since neither Viola Davis nor Danielle Deadwyler were nominated, as anticipated, for their roles in "The Woman King" and "Till," despite both reaping acclaim in the pre-Oscars awards circuit. Omitting Davis and Deadwyler meant that no Black women would contend for this year's best actress prize, and the allegations of corruption that ensued prompted the Academy to open an investigation into Riseborough's nomination and whether it was fair. Her nomination was not revoked after the probe.

That aside, the best actress competition has shaped up to be a fairly tight race between Blanchett, whose portrayal of a renowned conductor's downfall in the character study "Tár" has been called a career performance for the two-time Oscar winner and eight-time nominee, and Michelle Yeoh, whose leading role as a laundromat owner thrust into the multiverse in "Everything Everywhere All at Once" has garnered comparable praise. 

Both Blanchett and Yeoh have already won honors at major award shows this season, with Blanchett winning at the Golden Globes, the Critics Choice Awards and the BAFTAs, and Yeoh at the Golden Globes and the SAG Awards. The latter star's chances of winning the Oscar for best actress are bolstered by the momentum of her film, which is unrivaled. 

This is Yeoh's first Oscar nomination, and she became the first Asian actor to earn a nod in this category when she landed it. Yeoh would become the second woman of color, after Halle Berry, to take home the prize should she win.  

Joining them in the category for best actress are Ana de Armas, who earned critical acclaim for her cerebral take on Marilyn Monroe in Andrew Dominik's divisive drama "Blonde," and Michelle Williams, a five-time Oscar nominee whose performance in "The Fabelmans" was hailed as the highlight of the film.

Who wins the best actor prize at this year's Oscars ceremony could prove to be one of the night's biggest surprises, as four of the five nominees have been neck-and-neck for every major acting award given out since the current season began. Austin Butler, for "Elvis"; Brendan Fraser, for "The Whale"; Colin Farrell, for "The Banshees of Inisherin" and Bill Nighy, for "Living," all received nominations at the Critics Choice, Golden Globe and SAG Awards before securing their spots in this Oscars race.

Fraser's comeback performance as a reclusive English teacher in Darren Aronofsky's psychological drama won top honors at the Critics Choice and SAG Awards, while Butler's lauded portrayal of Elvis Presley , which was celebrated by the rock-and-roll icon's family as well as critics, won the Golden Globe for best actor in a drama.

Farrell won the corresponding comedy award at the Globes for his leading performance in McDonagh's film — which, for what it is worth, marks the director's return to the Oscars after 2018's "Three Billboards Outside Ebbing, Missouri" gave Frances McDormand her first best actress win in two decades. In "Banshees," Farrell's performance was hailed as one of the greatest of 2022. But the rousing response to Fraser, who for "The Whale" earned standing ovations at the Venice Film Festival and the London Film Festival that lasted so long they made headlines, may tip the scales in his favor.

Paul Mescal finishes off the best actor category this year as its final nominee, for his performance in "Aftersun," the critically-adored independent film by Charlotte Wells in her feature directorial debut.

Best Supporting Actress

At the outset of award season, Angela Bassett's seemed to have a future Oscar win  for best supporting actress  all but locked up, after the longtime Hollywood legend won the equivalent title at the Golden Globes and the Critics Choice Awards, plus a nod from the Screen Actors Guild, for her performance in "Black Panther: Wakanda Forever." 

• 2023 Oscars: Watch scenes of the best supporting actress nominees

While her ties to "Wakanda Forever" — the second installment in beloved franchise and another box office smash from Marvel Studios — likely make Bassett the fan favorite to take home the Academy Award, she is vying for it among a drove of tough competitors, many of whom moved to the front of the pack as the season progressed.

Kerry Condon, who is nominated for "The Banshees of Inisherin," won best supporting actress at the BAFTAs, before Jamie Lee Curtis, who is nominated for "Everything Everywhere All at Once," took the corresponding title at the SAG Awards in a victory that was perhaps underestimated. Curtis' co-star Stephanie Hsu is also nominated in this category for her breakout role in "Everything Everywhere," as is Hong Chau for a standout performance in "The Whale."

The outcome in this category is still a toss-up. But Curtis' win at the SAG Awards, which have predicted best supporting actress at the Oscars every year but one since 2010, could be a reliable indicator of how things shake out.

Best Supporting Actor

Among the  contenders for best supporting actor  this year,  Ke Huy Quan  may have the edge. He won the hearts of guild voters, critics and viewers with his emotional performance in "Everything Everywhere All at Once," returning to acting to play the role decades after stepping away from the profession. (He'd once been a child star in "Indiana Jones and the Temple of Doom" and "The Goonies.")

Quan received the Golden Globe, the Critics Choice Award and, in a historic win, the SAG Award for his work in the film. Like Yeoh, the fact that Quan is one of the faces of a movie at the helm of the awards circuit can only boost his chances of seeing that sweep through at the Oscars.

• 2023 Oscars: Watch scenes of the best supporting actor nominees

Joining Quan in the category for best supporting actor are Brian Tyree Henry, who gave a transformative performance opposite Jennifer Lawrence in "Causeway" that also earned a nod at the Critics Choice Awards; Barry Keoghan, whose role in "The Banshees of Inisherin" won him the BAFTA for best supporting actor; Brendan Gleeson, also for "The Banshees of Inisherin"; and Judd Hirsch, for "The Fabelmans."

At one time it did not seem inconceivable that Hirsch would win. Now 87, he has been acting for almost 60 years. "The Fabelmans" is Hirsch's second Oscar nomination since he received a nod in the same category for "Ordinary People" in 1980, and it recognizes his fleeting portrayal of an irascible relative in just a few memorable minutes of Spielberg's nominated film.

Best Director

After two consecutive wins by women directors — Chloé Zhao for "Nomadland" and Jane Campion for "The Power of the Dog" — and although a number of this year's qualifying films, including "Aftersun," "The Woman King" and "Women Talking," were directed by women, only men are nominated for the Oscar for best director this year. 

The nominees are Martin McDonagh, for "The Banshees of Inisherin," Daniel Kwan and Daniel Schienert, for "Everything Everywhere All at Once," Steven Spielberg, for "The Fabelmans," Todd Field, for "Tár," and Ruben Östlund, for "Triangle of Sadness." Spielberg, an nine-time nominee in this category who last won in 1999 for "Saving Private Ryan," initially seemed like a shoo-in for the Oscar for best director for "The Fabelmans," his most personal work to date. But Kwan and Scheinert, having earned directing accolades over the powerhouse filmmaker at the Critics Choice and Directors Guild Awards, are probably more likely to win.

Bouncing back from the Slap, the Oscars are here. Here’s everything you need to know

• Copy Link URL Copied!

The 2023 Oscars ceremony is upon us, and it’s looking for a comeback .

Ratings continue to be a struggle for the ceremony’s telecast — last year was the second lowest in the show’s history (15.4 million viewers versus 23.6 million in 2020 right before the COVID-19 pandemic).

And the specter of eventual lead actor winner Will Smith’s onstage slap of presenter Chris Rock, which spoiled the show’s return to post-pandemic normalcy, continues to loom over this year’s ceremony.

Yet the motion picture academy seems poised to keep Hollywood’s biggest night in line with its new “crisis team” in place should anything untoward happen during the ceremony.

Can the Oscars be saved? Academy members can’t even agree on what it would take

After two bruising years, Oscar producers hope to bring the shine back to the ceremony. Insiders say structural changes will have to come first.

March 8, 2023

The nomination of several blockbusters for best picture aims to attract some buzz. The academy has even gotten Rihanna to perform her Oscar-nominated song, “Lift Me Up,” from the film “Black Panther: Wakanda Forever.” After all, the pop star gave the 2023 Super Bowl its own ratings bump with more fans tuning in to watch the pop star rather than to watch the game itself .

But make no mistake, the academy is still trying to keep its own version of the big game at the center, bringing back all 23 awards categories to the live telecast.

What time is the show? And how can I watch it?

The 95th Academy Awards will air at 5 p.m. Pacific Sunday on ABC and will be available to stream on Hulu Live TV, YouTubeTV, DirecTV Stream and FuboTV, all of which have free trials for new customers.

The show will take place in Los Angeles at the Dolby Theatre, where each ceremony has been held since 2002, with the exception of a stop at Union Station in 2021 for an intimate event due to pandemic gathering restrictions.

The best fashion from the Oscars red carpet

The best looks from the 2023 Oscars: from Lady Gaga to Mindy Kaling.

March 12, 2023

Who’s hosting?

Jimmy Kimmel is returning to host the Oscars for the third time. He previously hosted in 2018 and in 2017, in which “La La Land” was mistakenly named best picture instead of the actual winner, “Moonlight.” In the immediate aftermath, Kimmel ushered the awkward hand-off between the two film productions, and cracked jokes to add levity to the unprecedented flub.

A familiar face and poise amid the unexpected is what show producers want in a post-slap world.

Why ‘The Slap’ still matters, one year later

Last year’s Oscars went sideways when Will Smith struck Chris Rock as millions watched. “‘The Slap’: One Year Later” explains why it still matters.

March 6, 2023

“That’s why you want someone like Jimmy onstage who is used to dealing with live TV: Things don’t always go as planned,” Bill Kramer , chief executive of the Academy of Motion Picture Arts and Sciences, told Time . “So you have a host in place who can really pivot and manage those moments.”

Kimmel joked about his Oscars return Thursday on “ Good Morning America ,” saying: “Nobody got hit when I hosted the show — everybody was well-behaved at my Oscars.”

The late-night talk show host also teased that he will “have some good things to say about” the slap as a part of his comic routine.

“I think it’s gonna be on everybody’s mind, everybody’s gonna be waiting for that moment,” Kimmel said, referring to his jokes that will address the slap. “That will be part of the show, but certainly not the focus of the show.”

Who and what are nominated?

“Everything Everywhere All at Once” leads with 11, followed by Netflix’s German war movie “All Quiet on the Western Front” and the Irish dark comedy “The Banshees of Inisherin,” with nine each, and “Elvis” with eight.

Oscar nominations 2023: All the snubs and surprises

Oscar nominations bring surprises, including Andrea Riseborough, Ana de Armas and Brian Tyree Henry; and snubs of Danielle Deadwyler and Viola Davis.

Jan. 24, 2023

Box-office triumphs “Top Gun: Maverick,” “Black Panther: Wakanda Forever” and “Avatar: The Way of Water” landed six, five and four nods, respectively. The best-picture nominations for “Top Gun” and “Avatar” marked the first time more than one nominee had grossed more than $1 billion globally. Academy leaders hope including more popular films in the awards show will draw in more viewers.

Below are the projects and performances that have been nominated in some major categories, taken from the complete list of 2023 nominees :

Best picture

• “ All Quiet on the Western Front ”
• “ Avatar: The Way of Water ”

Film academy explains why Lady Gaga will not perform her nominated song at 2023 Oscars

Citing other movie obligations, Oscars producers confirm Lady Gaga will be the only song nominee this year who won’t perform at Sunday’s ceremony.

Who’s performing?

Lady Gaga will not be performing her nominated song, power ballad “Hold My Hand” from “Top Gun: Maverick.” But there won’t be a shortage of star power, as Rihanna will headline this year’s list of performers.

The “Anti” singer was the first to be announced and will perform “ Lift Me Up ,” from “Black Panther: Wakanda Forever.”

“Descendants” star Sofia Carson, accompanied by songwriter Diane Warren, will perform “Applause” from the anthology film “Tell It Like a Woman.” That song marks Warren’s 14th Oscar nomination . Her most recent nod came in 2022 for “Somehow You Do” from the drama “Four Good Days,” and she received an honorary award at the academy’s Governors Awards in November.

Former Talking Heads frontman David Byrne, also an Oscar winner, will sing “ This Is a Life ” from “Everything Everywhere All at Once,” with Hsu and music trio Son Lux. Indie musician Mitski, who co-wrote the song, will not be performing.

Telugu-language singers Rahul Sipligunj and Kaala Bhairava will make their Oscars debut performing their song, “ Naatu Naatu, ” from Indian action epic “ RRR .”

Rock superstar Lenny Kravitz is set to perform during the In Memoriam segment.

Breaking tradition, Will Smith won’t present at the Oscars this year. So... now what?

Usually, the previous lead actor winner is expected to present the lead actress Oscar. For obvious reasons, Will Smith won’t be doing that this year.

Who’s presenting?

The academy announced the last of its presenters Thursday, featuring Oscar winner Halle Berry, the first and only Black woman to win for lead actress. Other presenters include Paul Dano, Cara Delevingne, Harrison Ford, Kate Hudson, Mindy Kaling, Eva Longoria, Julia Louis-Dreyfus, Andie MacDowell, Elizabeth Olsen, John Travolta and Pedro Pascal .

Previously announced Oscars presenters include Riz Ahmed, Halle Bailey, Antonio Banderas, Elizabeth Banks, Emily Blunt, Jessica Chastain, John Cho, Glenn Close, Jennifer Connelly, Ariana DeBose, Andrew Garfield, Hugh Grant, Danai Gurira, Salma Hayek Pinault, Samuel L. Jackson, Dwayne Johnson, Michael B. Jordan, Nicole Kidman, Troy Kotsur, Jonathan Majors, Melissa McCarthy, Janelle Monáe, Deepika Padukone, Florence Pugh, Questlove, Zoe Saldaña, Sigourney Weaver and Donnie Yen.

The jury is still out on who will present the Oscar for lead actress. Typically, the previous year’s winner for lead actor does the honors, but Smith, who won in 2022, is banned from the show for the next decade.

Times staff writers Josh Rottenberg and Nardine Saad contributed to this report.

Why halle berry presenting michelle yeoh with her best actress oscar win was so significant.

The actress replaced Will Smith after last year's best actor winner was banned from the Academy Awards, resulting in an emotional and historic moment.

Oscar-winning actress Halle Berry was one of two presenters at the 2023 Oscars to bestow Everything Everywhere All at Once star Michelle Yeoh with her historic best actress award.

It was a significant moment for the 95th Academy Awards , Berry and Yeoh for a number of reasons, including a presenter change that was only possible because of a defining event of the 2022 ceremony (and a running joke during this year’s awards show ).

Berry presenting was due in part to a break with Oscars tradition, which typically has the previous year’s best actor winner present that year’s best actress category. But 2022’s best actor winner was Will Smith, who was banned from attending any Film Academy events , including the Oscars, for 10 years after slapping Chris Rock onstage .

(According to Oscars executive producer Ricky Kirshner, presenter decisions are taken “seriously” with “a lot of discussions with the talent, and a lot of negotiations.” However, the decision to replace Smith with Berry was simply part of a new approach to pairing presenters for the show. “As far as Halle and Jessica, we also had Ari [Ariana DeBose] and Troy [Kotsur] give the two supporting awards together, we just tried to do things a little differently this year,” he told The Hollywood Reporter .)

Ahead of the ceremony, fellow best actress presenter Jessica Chastain — who has been a vocal advocate for gender equity in Hollywood herself —  shared with Entertainment Tonight that while she was not at the rehearsals because of her Broadway play A Doll’s House , she was “so excited since they told me we were gonna present together,” before adding to Berry, who joined her for part of the interview, “I am so honored to do this with you.”

That shared emotion of Yeoh’s win came to fruition and was ultimately captured onstage by the Oscars telecast cameras. It was a moment Yeoh said backstage was significant for Asian representation that “frickin’ broke that glass ceiling.”

“This is for the Asian community, but for anybody who’s been identified as a minority,” she said. “We deserve to be seen. We deserve to have equal opportunity so we can have a seat at the table. That’s all we’re asking for. Give us that opportunity; let us prove that we’re worth it.”

Yeoh’s comments echoed sentiment that Berry herself shared as she took the Oscars stage for her Monster’s Ball win two decades ago — a moment she described as “so much bigger” than heself while accepting her award. “It’s for every nameless, faceless woman of color that now has the chance because this door tonight has been opened.”

The night was ultimately a literal win for Yeoh and representation in Hollywood for the Asian community , but it could also be seen as a personal win for Berry, who has lamented that no other women of color had won in the category since her historic first. In 2017, the lack of fellow winners of color had Berry feeling like her win was “meaningless.”

“That moment really meant nothing,” Berry told  Teen Vogue . “It meant nothing. I thought it meant something, but I think it meant nothing.”

“I thought, like everybody else, that night meant a lot of things would change,” she added. “That there would be other women. I thought I would have the script truck back up to my front door and I’d have an opportunity to play any role I wanted. That didn’t happen. No other woman is standing there.”

March 13, 1:30 p.m. This story was updated with comments from Oscars producers about the decision to have Halle Berry co-present the best actress winner.

Halle Berry replaces Will Smith as Oscars Best Actress presenter alongside Jessica Chastain

Berry — who became the first Black woman to win Best Actress in 2002 — presented the award in a slot traditionally occupied by the reigning Best Actor winner.

Halle Berry teamed up with Jessica Chastain for a presentation of the Best Actress category at the 2023 Oscars that likely would have been handled by Will Smith .

The actress duo presented both Best Actor and Best Actress in a slot traditionally reserved for the reigning Best Actor winner, which, in this case would've been Smith, but the King Richard star was banned from attending the Oscars for the next decade after slapping presenter Chris Rock during the 2022 broadcast.

Chastain, who won Best Actress last year for her performance in The Eyes of Tammy Faye , was expected to present Best Actor this year, while it was unclear who would step in to handle Smith's duties.

Berry won Best Actress in 2002 for Monster's Ball , becoming the first Black woman to win the award since the Oscars began in 1929. In the two decades since Berry's historic win, no other woman of color has been victorious in the category. That could change if Michelle Yeah wins tonight, also making her the first ever Asian woman to claim the title.

Smith was barred from Academy-sanctioned events after he approached Rock, who was on stage to present the award for Best Documentary, and slapped the comedian in the face for making a joke about his wife, Jada Pinkett Smith . Smith ultimately issued an apology for his behavior, but was banned from attending all Academy-sanctioned events for the next decade .

When are the Oscars?

The Oscars will be held Sunday, March 12, at the Dolby Theatre in Los Angeles. The ceremony is set to begin at 8 p.m. EST and be broadcast live on ABC.

Can you stream the Oscars?

The broadcast can be streamed with a subscription to Hulu Live TV, YouTubeTV, AT&T TV and Fubo TV. Some of these services offer brief free trials. You can also stream the show on ABC.com and on the ABC app by authenticating your provider.

Who’s hosting?

Jimmy Kimmel will host for the third time and his first time since 2018. That was also the last Oscars to feature a solo host. The show went hostless for several years after Kimmel’s last outing. Last year, Regina Hall, Amy Schumer and Wanda Sykes hosted as a trio. In an ad for this year’s show styled after “Top Gun: Maverick,” Kimmel made his humble case for being the right person for the job while noting that he can’t get slapped because “I cry a lot.”

What’s nominated for best picture at the 2023 Oscars?

The 10 movies competing for best picture are: “All Quiet on the Western Front,” “Avatar: The Way of Water,” “The Banshees of Inisherin,” “Elvis,” “Everything Everywhere All at Once,” “The Fabelmans,” “Tár,” “Top Gun: Maverick,” “Triangle of Sadness,” “Women Talking.” Here’s a guide to how you can watch them .

Who’s presenting?

The first announced round of presenters are: Riz Ahmed, Emily Blunt, Glenn Close, Jennifer Connelly, Ariana DeBose, Samuel L. Jackson, Dwayne Johnson, Michael B. Jordan, Troy Kotsur, Jonathan Majors, Melissa McCarthy, Janelle Monáe, Deepika Padukone, Questlove, Zoe Saldaña and Donnie Yen.

What else is in store for the show?

The Academy of Motion Pictures Arts and Sciences has said that winners to all categories will be announced live on the show. (Last year, some categories were taped in a pre-show, something that caused an uproar among academy members.) All signs point to a full slate of musical performances, with Rihanna performing “Lift Me Up” from “Black Panther: Wakanda Forever” and Kala Bhairava singing M.M. Keeravaani’s “Naatu Naatu” from “RRR.” No official word yet on whether Lady Gaga will sing “Hold My Hand,” from “Top Gun: Maverick,” during the show. On Monday, show producers announced that Lenny Kravitz will deliver the “In Memoriam” performance.

Who are the favorites?

Daniel Kwan and Daniel Scheinert’s indie sci-fi hit “Everything Everywhere All at Once” comes in with a leading 11 nominations. Close on its heels, though, is the Irish friends-falling-out dark comedy “The Banshees of Inisherin,” with nine nods, a total matched by Netflix’s WWI film “All Quiet on the Western Front.” Michelle Yeoh (“Everything Everywhere All at Once”) may have a slight edge on Cate Blanchett ( “Tár” ) for best actress.

Best actor is harder to call, with Brendan Fraser ( “The Whale” ) and Austin Butler ( “Elvis” ) in the mix. In the supporting categories, Angela Bassett (“Black Panther: Wakanda Forever”) and Ke Huy Quan (“Everything Everywhere All at Once” ) are the frontrunners, though Jamie Lee Curtis’ Screen Actors Guild Awards win may have thrown a wrench into the supporting actress category. Steven Spielberg (“The Fabelmans”) may win his third best director Oscar, though the Daniels may have emerged as the favorites.

What’s been controversial this year?

Aside from the usual snubs and surprises , this year’s biggest to-do has been the debate surrounding Andrea Riseborough’s unexpected nomination for best actress. Riseborough was nominated for the little-seen Texas-set drama “To Leslie” after many A-list stars rallied around her performance. When two other best-actress contenders — Danielle Deadwyler (“Till”) and Viola Davis (“Woman King”) — were snubbed, some saw that as a reflection of racial bias in the film industry . The academy launched an inquiry into the star-studded, grassroots campaign for Riseborough but found no reason to rescind her nomination .

What else should you look for?

Just the reading of the title to o ne of this year’s short film nominees should prompt a wave of giggles. John Williams (“The Fabelmans”), up for best score, is the oldest nominee ever, at 90 years old. After historic back-to-back best-director wins by Chloé Zhao (“Nomadland”) and Jane Campion (“The Power of the Dog”) , no women were nominated this year for best director. Also don’t expect to see Will Smith at the Oscars anytime soon.

WATCH: Slapping incident at the Oscars sparks difficult but important conversations

After striking Chris Rock at last year’s ceremony, Smith was banned by the film academy from attending for 10 years . In a live Netflix special on Saturday, Rock finally punched back at Smith with a blistering stand-up set about the incident.

Al pacino, 84, helps girlfriend noor alfallah, 30, blow out candles on her three-tier birthday cake.

Al Pacino, 84, helped his girlfriend, Noor Alfallah, 30, ring in her birthday by blowing out candles on a three-tier birthday cake in a new video shared on Wednesday .

The Oscar winner flashed a huge grin while celebrating his much-younger partner in the clip posted to Instagram by Noor’s sister Sophia Alfallah, which was captioned, “Noor’s bday 2024.”

The carousel also included snapshots from the birthday bash, which was attended by Noor and Sophia’s sister Remi, Julia Fox, Selena Gomez’s bestie Raquelle Stevens and Bruce Willis and Demi Moore’s daughter Scout LaRue Willis.

Though Sophia just posted the inside glimpse at her sister’s birthday celebration this week, Noor turned 30 in December 2023.

However, Noor seemingly prefers to celebrate early. Last year, she posted a snapshot in November with a similar birthday cake and captioned it, “Almost 30…”

Page Six reached out to reps for Pacino and Noor for clarification on the recent birthday celebration, but did not immediately hear back.

Pacino and Noor have been linked since the coronavirus pandemic, and they welcomed their first child together in June 2023.

In September 2023, the Sony producer filed for full physical custody of their son , Roman, but said she was willing to give “reasonable visitation” to the actor.

They reached a custody agreement in October 2023.

Documents later obtained by Page Six confirmed that they agreed on joint legal custody while Noor was granted primary physical custody.

The “Scarface” star was ordered to pay a lump sum of $110,000, plus more than $30,000 a month in child support. He also agreed to pay $13,000 for a night nurse and cover any medical bills not covered by health insurance.

He was also ordered to make a yearly $15,000 deposit into an education fund for Roman.

Despite the custody proceedings, the pair appeared to remain on good terms as they were seen dining out in Los Angeles .

Earlier this year, Noor gushed over Roman while speaking with Vogue Arabia , calling him “the greatest gift from God.”

She added, “Every day I look at him, I just know I’m so blessed.”

Roman is Pacino’s fourth child.

He has a 34-year-old daughter named Julie Marie with his ex Jan Tarrant. He is also the father to twins Anton and Olivia, 23, whom he shares with his ex Beverly D’Angelo.

The “Godfather” star has never been married. Meanwhile, Noor previously told TMZ she’s “not the marrying type.”

Netflix Acquires Latest Film From Ben Proudfoot, Final Documentary From Late Julia Reichert And More Short Docs With Oscar Potential

EXCLUSIVE: Netflix has lined up a blockbuster slate of short documentaries heading into Oscar season, including the latest from two-time Academy Award winner Ben Proudfoot in collaboration with the Obamas’ production company.

The streamer announced four acquisitions today, beginning with The Turnaround , directed by Kyle Thrash and Proudfoot, a documentary that “tells the story of Philadelphia Phillies’ superfan Jon McCann, who helped inspire an unlikely 2023 standing ovation for Phillies shortstop Trea Turner, which helped turn the team around after hitting a major roadblock.” (Coincidence or otherwise, the Phillies have clinched the NL East division this year and are essentially tied with the L.A. Dodgers for the best record in baseball).

Everything We Know About Netflix's 'Peaky Blinders' Movie So Far

As Deadline reported in late August , Higher Ground, the production company founded by former Pres. Barack Obama and former First Lady Michelle Obama, came aboard The Turnaround . Higher Ground produces, along with Proudfoot’s Breakwater Studios, Cookie Jar & A Dream Studios (a DICK’s Sporting Goods company), and Major League Baseball. The documentary will premiere on Netflix on October 18.

Scroll for full details on the acquisitions announced on Wednesday.

Also joining the Netflix slate is Makayla’s Voice: A Letter to the World , directed by Julio Palacio. It’s a moving story of Makayla Cain, a teenage girl with a form of autism that left her nonverbal. Her parents worked to unlock the secret world of Makayla’s consciousness, with remarkable results.

Makayla’s Voice won Best Documentary Short at Tribeca Festival earlier this year, as well as the Jenni Berebitsky Legacy Award at the Indy Shorts International Film Festival, and awards at Slamdance and the Atlanta Film Festival. It premieres on Netflix on December 11.

Netflix likewise acquired Julia’s Stepping Stones , the final film from Oscar winner Julia Reichert, who won the Academy Award for American Factory , directed with her husband Steven Bognar. Julia’s Stepping Stones , directed by Reichert and Bognar, shares “the intimate story of [Reichert’s] own journey, from her youth as a working-class girl who dreamt of a larger life for herself to her discovery of documentary filmmaking and her own voice along the way.”

The short premieres on Netflix on December 18.

Rounding out the quartet of acquisitions is The Only Girl in the Orchestra , directed by Emmy winner Molly O’Brien. The film documents double bassist Orin O’Brien (Molly O’Brien’s aunt), a protégé of New York Philharmonic conductor Leonard Bernstein. She became the venerable institution’s first female musician when she joined the orchestra in the 1960s.

The Only Girl in the Orchestra bows on Netflix on December 4.

Netflix didn’t score any Oscar nominations in the short documentary category for the most recent Academy Awards, but it’s a traditional powerhouse in the space. Netflix short docs that have earned the Academy Award include The Elephant Whisperers (winner in 2023); Period. End of Sentence. (2019), and The White Helmets (2017).

Below are full details on the acquisitions announced on Wednesday.

The Turnaround

Directors: Kyle Thrash and Academy Award winner Ben Proudfoot ( The Last Repair Shop , The Queen of Basketball)

Logline: The documentary short tells the story of Philadelphia Phillies’ superfan Jon McCann, who helped inspire an unlikely 2023 standing ovation for Phillies shortstop Trea Turner, which helped turn the team around after hitting a major roadblock.

The Turnaround is the latest project in Netflix and Higher Ground’s creative partnership . Past films include Leave the World Behind , Rustin , American Symphony and Academy Award winner American Factory .

Festival Premiere: 2024 Telluride Film Festival

Release Date: On Netflix October 18, 2024

Makayla’s Voice: A Letter to the World

Director: Julio Palacio ( Not the Science Type , The Crossing )

Producer: Sam Hanson, Sasha Levinson, Julio Palacio

Logline: Makayla, a teenage girl, who has spent her life grappling with a rare form of autism that rendered her essentially nonverbal. However, her parents, filled with unwavering belief in their daughter’s potential, embarked on a transformative journey to discover the true depth of Makayla’s inner world.

Festival Premiere: 2024 Slamdance Film Festival

Release Date: On Netflix December 11, 2024

Julia’s Stepping Stones

Directors: Academy Award winners Julia Reichert and Steven Bognar ( American Factory)

Producer: Steven Bognar

Logline: Throughout her career, pioneering filmmaker, the late Julia Reichert, gave voice to the voiceless.  In a final collaboration with her husband, Steven Bognar, Julia shares the intimate story of her own journey, from her youth as a working-class girl who dreamt of a larger life for herself to her discovery of documentary filmmaking and her own voice along the way.

Festival Premiere: Full Frame Documentary Film Festival

Release Date: On Netflix December 18, 2024

The Only Girl In The Orchestra

Director: Emmy Award winner Molly O’Brien

Producers: Molly O’ Brien ( The Disappearance of Shere Hite , Separated ) Lisa Remington ( The Price of Everything, Foster, Disclosure )

Executive Producer: Academy Award Winner Errol Morris ( The Fog of War: Eleven Lessons from the Life of Robert S. McNamara, Gates of Heaven, The Thin Blue Line, Fast, Cheap & Out of Control )

Logline: Trailblazing double bassist Orin O’Brien was never one to seek the spotlight, but when Leonard Bernstein hired her in 1966 as the first female musician in the New York Philharmonic, she inevitably became the focus of media attention and, ultimately, one of the most renowned musicians of a generation.

Festival Premiere:  DOC NYC
