a crisis team in place ready for any potential snafus. It was a stacked year for Best Picture, with the likes of “Everything Everywhere All at Once,” “Women Talking,” “The Banshees of Inisherin,”  “Tar,” “All Quiet on the Western Front,” “The Fabelmans” and “Elvis” facing off – not to mention, more crowd-pleasing hits such as “Top Gun: Maverick” and “Avatar: The Way of Water.” The ceremony was staid, compared to last year’s infamous #SlapGate.

scoring the award for Best Picture at the 2023 Oscars.Harrison Ford presented the award onstage at the Dolby Theatre in Los Angeles, where Hollywood’s biggest stars gathered to celebrate the big night, hosted by Jimmy Kimmel.Directors Daniel Kwan and Daniel Scheinert, who had won earlier in the evening, were joined on stage by the entire cast to accept the historic award.“The world is changing rapidly and I fear our stories are not keeping at pace and sometimes it’s a little scary,” Kwan said, “but I have great faith in these stories.”“Everything Everywhere All At Once” received more Oscar nominations than any film this year with a whopping 11: Best Picture, Best Director, Best Actress, Best Original Screenplay, Best Supporting Actor, two for Best Supporting Actress, Best Costume Design, Best Film Editing, Best Score and Best Song.The movie ended up winning seven of the 11 noms, including Best Picture, Best Actress for star Michelle Yeoh and Best Director for filmmakers Daniel Scheinert and Daniel Kwan.The film was the movie to beat this year, having won the top prizes at both the Screen Actors Guild Awards and the Producers Guild Awards.The comedy-drama beat “All Quiet on the Western Front,” “Avatar: The Way of Water,” “The Banshees of Inisherin,” “Elvis,” “The Fabelmans,” “Tár,” “Top Gun: Maverick,” “Triangle of Sadness” and “Women Talking” for Oscar victory.“Everything Everywhere All At Once” made history as the first sci-fi film to ever win Best Picture.The movie stars Michelle Yeoh — who won Best Actress — as a Chinese immigrant who is swept into parallel universes in order to save all of existence and connects with the other lives she could have led.“Everything Everywhere All At Once” is also the first film to win

2023 Academy Awards.Kimmel approached Yousafzai, 25, during the telecast to ask her very pressing question from a fan named Joanne.“She asked, your work on human rights and education for women and children is an inspiration–as the youngest nobel prize winner in history, do you think Harry Styles spit on Chris Pine?” Kimmel asked her.The question was referring to the rumors of a fight between the two actors on the set of “Don’t Worry Darling.”In response, Yousafzai, who seemed uneasy, said, “I only talk about peace.”Things got even more uncomfortable for Yousafzai when presenters brought out the real-life “Cocaine Bear,” someone in a bear suit from Elizabeth Banks’ film, and as it paraded down the aisles, it strangely pestered the activist. Kimmel had to tell the bear leave to Yousafzai alone.

Everything Everywhere All At Once.”Yeoh, 60, is the second woman of color to win in the category, following Halle Berry for “Monster’s Ball” (2001).In her speech on stage at the Dolby Theatre in Los Angeles, she tearfully thanked her cast and crew in “Everything Everywhere All at Once” and her family. “For all the little boys and girls who look like me watching tonight, this is a beacon of hope and possibilities,” Yeoh said.

Oscar for Best Supporting Actress for their roles in “Black Panther: Wakanda Forever” and “Everything Everywhere All At Once,” respectively.When it was announced that Curtis won, Bassett seemed less than thrilled — and, as seen in ABC’s telecast, seemingly didn’t even stand up to clap.Some Twitter users were disappointed to see the “Black Panther” star sit through the applause for Curtis while others were just disappointed Basset didn’t win.“Regardless of who won that Oscar… Angela Bassett could have clapped for the winner. To just sit there and not clap because you didn’t win …” someone said.Advertisement“Dayumm #AngelaBassett it’s ok.
