Jimmy Kimmel, Everything Everywhere, and a Donkey: Highlights of the 2023 Oscars
Everything everywhere at once dominated the 95th Academy Awards, held at the Dolby Theater in Los Angeles on Sunday night.
Michelle Yeoh took home the Best Actress award, becoming the first Asian woman and only the second woman of color to win the trophy. The film also received Best Picture, Best Director and Best Original Screenplay awards for writers/directors Daniel Kwan and Daniel Scheinert.
Brendan Fraser cemented his comeback with a win for Best Actor The whalewhile Everything everywhere Stars Jamie Lee Curtis and Ke Huy Quan took home Best Supporting Actress and Best Supporting Actor awards, respectively.
The night wasn’t without controversy, with criticism of Jimmy Kimmel’s interview with Malala and a painful encounter between model Ashley Graham and an “obnoxious” Hugh Grant.
Many also felt that Angela Bassett deserved the Oscar for Best Supporting Actress. The award went to Jamie Lee Curtis instead, in what many viewers described as a “genuine” reaction from Bassett.
There were many bold looks on the ‘champagne’ carpet this year, including Rihanna, who showed up in a t-shirt, sneakers and a bucket hat.

Why did all the stars wear blue ribbons?
Wondering why all the guests wore blue ribbons last night? Well, it turns out they supported refugees.
The UN High Commissioner for Refugees said donning the #WithRefugees ribbons would “send out a powerful visual message that everyone has the right to seek safety, whoever, wherever and whenever”.

Voices: Why Chris Rock is wrong about Jada Pinkett Smith
“I don’t care if Rock Pinkett wasn’t aware of Smith’s alopecia before; he had about as much right to poke fun at a black woman’s missing hair as Smith had to walk up to Rock and punch him in the face,” writes Inga Parkel for The Independent.
“A year later he claimed it was his GI Jane comment meant to end a so-called feud that she “started” years ago isn’t the succinct comeback he might have intended. I’m sorry to tell you this, Chris Rock, but I would argue that you didn’t “finish” it, that Will Smith did for you.

If Michelle Yeoh’s Oscar tip was aimed at Don Lemon, the CNN host took no notice.
During her acceptance speech, Yeoh said, “Ladies, never let anyone tell you you’ve ever passed your prime!”
Lemon recently came under fire for claiming that women in their “twenties and thirties and maybe forties” are in their “prime years.”
