Two men with one name were called up to the stage several times at the Oscars — the Daniels. They are Daniel Kwan and Daniel Scheinert, the directing duo whose movie 'Everything Everywhere All at Once' was the most honored film at the Academy Awards.
Though worlds away from Oscar bait, Daniel Kwan and Daniel Scheinert's anarchic ballet of everything bagels, googly-eyed rocks and one messy tax audit emerged as an improbable Academy Awards heavyweight. The indie hit, A24's second best-picture winner following"Moonlight," won seven Oscars in all.
Michelle Yeoh at the 95th Annual Academy Awards held at Dolby Theatre on March 12, 2023 in Los Angeles, California."Ladies, don't let anyone ever tell you you're past your prime," said Yeoh, who received a raucous standing ovation."They are really the superheroes, and without them, none of us would be here tonight," she said, echoing director Kwan, who also thanked moms in one of his acceptance speeches.
The former child star Quan capped his own extraordinary comeback with the Oscar for best supporting actor for his performance in the indie hit"Everything Everywhere All at Once." Quan, beloved for his roles as Short Round in"Indiana Jones and the Temple of Doom" and Data in"Goonies," had all but given up acting before being cast in"Everything Everywhere All at Once.
The German-language WWI epic"All Quiet on the Western Front" — Netflix's top contender this year — took four awards as the academy heaped honors on the craft of the harrowing anti-war film. It won for cinematography, production design, score and best international film. Kimmel also joked that this year, there were"strict policies in place" in case of another violent outburst.
Daniel Roher's"Navalny," about the imprisoned Russian opposition leader Alexei Navalny, took best documentary. The film's win came with clear overtones to Navalny's ongoing imprisonment and Vladimir Putin's continued war in Ukraine. Yulia Navalnaya joined the filmmakers on the stage.Some big names weren't in attendance for other reasons.
The night's first award went to"Guillermo del Toro's Pinocchio" for best animated film. That handed Netflix its first Oscar in the category.
