Oscars 2023: all the latest from film’s biggest awards show

As a video person myself, I absolutely love seeing screenshots of Adobe Premiere timelines from major movies. For one, it’s weirdly mesmerizing, and two... sometimes it makes me feel better about my own organized mess.

Here’s a short snippet where Paul Rogers, the editor of Everything Everywhere All At Once, talks about his workflow. (Also, be sure to check the replies to that tweet to see some other examples.)

And there it is: Everything Everywhere All At Once won best picture, for a total of seven Oscars. This movie rules, and if you still haven’t seen it for yourself, let our original review convince you.

The real-life superhero Michelle Yeoh now has an Oscars statue for best actress in a leading role (it’s another win for Everything Everywhere All At Once). She did not wear hot dog fingers to accept the award.

Brendan Fraser was named best actor in a leading role for his performance in The Whale, and he seemed as surprised as he was grateful.

And another one: the Daniels also won best director at the Oscars. The title Everything Everywhere All At Once really turned out to be prophetic.

As if the amazing live performance of “Naatu Naatu” wasn’t enough, the RRR song also earned the Oscar for best original song. Good luck getting it out of your head.

Daniel Kwan and Daniel Scheinert — better known as the Daniels — just scooped up the award for best original screenplay for Everything Everywhere All At Once. For more on the unique duo, check out this interview from last year that digs deep into the film.

The singer performed Wakanda Forever’s “Lift Me Up” which is nominated for Best Original Song tonight. 

I present: the biggest scandal of the 2023 edition of the Academy Awards.

it at least looked good. So it’s no surprise that it came away with the best visual effects Oscar. I hope that talking space whale parties hard tonight.

Netflix’s All Quiet on the Western Front just picked up Oscars for best original score and production design, bringing its total to four awards so far. (It also won best international film and best cinematography.) It’s now leading the way mid-way through the show.

Best Supporting Actress nominee Stephanie Hsu might not have won at this year’s Oscars for her performance in Everything Everywhere All At Once. But she, and David Byrne, and David Byrne’s pair of hot dog fingers absolutely brought the house down with their performance of ‘This Is a Life.’

The Oscars are primarily about awards, of course, but this year we also got a fresh glimpse at Disney’s upcoming live-action remake of The Little Mermaid — which includes a good look at Melissa McCarthy as Ursula.

While presenting the award for best documentary (Navalny was the winner), Ahmir “Questlove” Thompson had what I believe is an Oscars first by wearing a pair of Crocs on stage. Who says fashion can’t be comfortable?

Everything Everywhere All At Once just keeps racking up awards: Jamie Lee Curtis took home best supporting actress, giving hope to IRS agents everywhere.

The feel-good moment of the night might’ve happened near the beginning, when Ke Huy Quan nabbed the best supporting actor award for his performance in Everything Everywhere All At Once. After nearly giving up on the world of acting, seeing him on stage with that trophy was a real tear-jerker.

Guillermo del Toro’s Pinocchio took home the Oscar for best animated picture, and — as you can probably guess — the director had some strong words about the power of animated films, saying, simply that “animation is cinema, animation is not a genre, and animation is ready to be taken to the next step.”

That shell cleans up nice.

This year’s edition of the Academy Awards kicks off at 8PM ET, which isn’t really enough time to catch up on any of the best picture contenders — you could make a small dent in Elvis if you start right now — but in the meantime, you can check out the full list of nominees and figure out how you’re going to watch.
