The 2023 Oscar Awards gala has been a slap in the face against entertainment and also a disappointment for many: the overwhelming and predictable triumph of Everything at once everywhere (with seven statuettes, including best film, direction and leading actress), closes a year of awards with a low level and proves right those who believe that the film by Daniel Kwan and Daniel Scheinert on the multiverse is a definitive turn towards modern cinema , a kind of hymn to the tik-tok generation where the Seventh Art becomes a screen change at a dizzying pace.
The award-winning production arrived at night as an absolute favorite and awarded everywhere, as in its title: the savior of the multiverse Michelle Yeoh leaves the composer in the gutter Cate Blanchett Yet the Blonde Ana de Armas. The actress born in Malaysia in 1962 She dedicated her award to all the mothers in the world because “they are the true superheroines. Girls, don’t ever let anyone tell you that you’ve run out of rice,” she said.
But it is that the secondary ones also take the statuette Ke Huy Quan y Jamie Lee Curtis. Michelle Yeoh is the second non-white actress to win the Leading Female Performance Award. The award has been given to her by Halle Berry, who was the first. both were bond girls in the stage of Pierce Brosnan.
It was seen coming that the forecasts and bets in favor of the very peculiar Everything at once they would be fulfilled when the actress who screams the best on Halloween won the second Oscar of the night for her impeccable role as a tax collector. A lot of cinema in the blood of the interpreter who was nominated for the first time at her 64th birthday, who dedicated her statuette to Best Supporting Actress to her parents: “Mom and dad just won an Oscar,” said the daughter of two legends like Tony Curtis y Janet Leigh, the victim stabbed in the shower Psychosis. Big piss off of Angela Bassett, nominated for Black Panther: Wakanda Forever, when he learned that he had lost his second nomination (the first was 29 years ago).
Before Lee Curtis, his co-star, Ke Huy Quan (born Saigon, South Vietnam, in 1971) had taken his own. Everything at once…, The undisputed winner of this 95th edition of the Oscars adds to the three awards for its actor and actresses the best direction for Daniel Kwan and Daniel Scheinert, editing and original screenplay, as well as Best Picture, an award that he gave Harrison Ford.
The most emotional moment of the night came at the end of the gala, when Harrison Ford and Ke Huy Quan relived their Indiana Jones hug 40 years ago at the Oscars. Both melted on the stage of the Oscars, thanks after reading the veteran actor the victory of everything at once everywhere. Harrison Ford and Ke Huy Quan emulated the hug they gave each other when Quan was just a child. Indiana Jones shared the cast, Quay was a child making his film debut. “They say that stories like this only happen in the movies,” the actor exclaimed in his speech. “I can’t believe what is happening to me. This, this is the American dream!” He added excitedly. “Dreams are something you have to believe in,” he added. I almost gave up on mine. To all of you, please keep your dreams alive. Thank you, thank you very much for welcoming me back! I love them! Thank you, thank you, thank you!” he said. Three decades have passed without a good role, and he has survived by working as an assistant director and scene coordinator. The wait has been worth it. He is currently working again with Michelle Yeoh on the series from Disney American Born Chinese.
From the mummy to the whale
Brendan Fraser, best leading actor for The whale, once shared a cast with Yeoh in The Mummy. Fate has wanted that today they were the stars of the night. Fraser is deserving of the award, even though the film wasn’t even nominated. “It is an honor for me, gentlemen, to be with you in this category,” he said excitedly and praising his rival nominees on immense 54 year old actor.
The adapted script is one of the few good news of the night: he picked it up Sarah Polley for his brave They speakproduced by Fances McDormand.
Another good news: the German anti-war No news at the front, by Edward Berger, Takes Good Loot: Oscar for Best International Film (defeated Argentina 1985, de Santiago Mitre), and added a total of four statuettes, including the award for its overwhelming soundtrack. Volker Bertelmann’s score was the clear favourite. Because of him, John Williams (91 years old) does not win his sixth Oscar, which seems like a lot but not if we take into account that he has 53 nominations behind him. The great composer of essential soundtracks such as Harry Potter, Star Wars o Shark He left the compound as soon as he lost.
Apart from Ana de Armas and the Spanish flavor of Argentina 1985, we have a winner, so to speak: the German Hispanic actor Daniel Brühl, that he was with his wife. The man from Barcelona was very happy because, apart from playing the good guys in the film that swept the Baftas and has triumphed at the Oscars, he is a producer, for which he went up when he picked up the award for Best International Film. Another successful Spanish-speaker is El pinocchio of Guillermo del Toro, which, as expected, took the award for animated feature film. Sorry for the Puss in Boots of our Antonio Banderas.
Tom Cruise, the actor pissed off with Hollywood, was not at the gala with his partner the beautiful Jennifer Connellyin the first row, but the sequel to the very successful Maverick (which had six nominations) scratched off the award: Mark Weingarten, James Mather, Al Nelson, Chris Burdon, Mark Taylor, take the Oscar for best sound. It is the second statuette for the saga, which won best original song in 1987. Nicole Kidman’s ex has not appeared at the gala for 11 years. The spokesmen of the protagonist of Mission Impossible They said that the actor is in the United Kingdom filming the eighth installment of the saga.
It would have been nice if Cruise He would ride through the roofs of Dolby with a motorcycle or fall from the roof as in his impossible missions because, curiously, on the night of the most dizzying film in the history of the Oscars, the gala was slow as could not be. He renounced any risk and it turned out to be flat, politically correct until boring and terribly long (more than three and a half hours), without great moments. It’s not every year that an actor smacks a partner. By the way Jimmy Kimmel He gave the feeling of going to comply, collect and leave. Only the slaps to Will Smith (who could not attend the awards for the next ten years) had their grace: “We want them to have fun, feel safe and what is most important we want me to feel safe. If someone commits a act of aggression during the show will give you the Oscar for best actor and you will be given permission to give a speech”, ironized the presenter.
Jimmy Kimmel’s bad joke
One of Jimmy Kimmel’s jokes made Malala Yousafzai, the nominated documentary producer and girls’ rights activist, uncomfortable. The presenter came to the area where the young woman was sitting next to her husband, and asked her if she could ask him “a question regarding peace.” Kimmel said: “As a human rights worker and an inspiration to the world. As the youngest Nobel Prize winner in history, I wondered Do you think Harry Styles spat on Chris Pine?”, making a clear allusion to what happened between the two actors in the last edition of the Venice Film Festival (a fact denied by both). From her seat, and bewildered, Malala limited herself to saying: “I only speak of peace.” The rest of the public and the activist’s own husband laughed but she did not change her serious face.

I will not forgive Hollywood that in the In Memorial of this year did not collect the image of Carlos Saura. It didn’t come out at the Baftas either. Undoubtedly in Spain we move little to vindicate our geniuses.
Red carpet (that wasn’t red)
Cate Blanchett, Louis Vuitton, one of the big losers of the night, was convinced to win the Oscar for Tár, but fell victim to the Hollywood madness for Everything at once everywhere.

Ana De Armas, from Louis Vuitton. The Hispanic-Cuban never thought that she would win the Oscar for the insufferable Blonde, although her interpretation is highly meritorious.
Margot Robbie, whom we didn’t see on the red carpet, took the stage on the arm of Morgan Freeman with a black model with a spectacular bardot neckline. The Babylon actress (three nominations) did not explain why she did not pose for photographers.
