The 2023 Oscars hit almost all the right notes, with Jimmy Kimmel doing a terrific job of hosting, starting with a monologue that acknowledged last year’s slap heard around the world. Kimmel used his opening bit to point out there are 16 first-time acting nominees, including two from Encino Man – Brendan Fraser and Ke Huy Quan.
Kimmel poked fun at Babylon for being a bust at the box office and noted Batgirl is the first superhero to be defeated by an accounting department. He also confirmed James Cameron declined his invitation, joking that you know a show is too long when even Cameron can’t sit through it.
“Some of the critics are saying Jim Cameron isn’t here because he didn’t get a ‘Best Director’ nomination. And, well, I find that very hard to believe about a man of such deep humility. He does have a point. I mean, how does the Academy not nominate the guy who directed Avatar? What do they think he is, a woman?” joked Kimmel.
But back to the slap. Kimmel claimed there are now strict policies in place to stop another incident. “If anyone in this theater commits an act of violence at any point during the show, you will be awarded the Oscar for ‘Best Actor’ and permitted to give a 19-minute long speech.”
Kimmel continued: “But, seriously, the Academy has a crisis team in place. If anything unpredictable or violent happens during the ceremony, just do what you did last year. Nothing. Sit there and do absolutely nothing. Maybe even give the assailant a hug.”
The 2023 Oscars returned to the usual format and gave out Oscars in all 23 categories during the live show. Everything Everywhere All at Once went into Hollywood’s big night with 11 nominations and went home with seven wins including Best Picture, Best Director, Best Actress, Best Supporting Actress, Best Supporting Actor, Best Editing, and Best Original Screenplay.
Michelle Yeoh made Oscars history with her win, becoming the first performer who identifies as Asian to win in the Best Actress category. Ruth E. Carter’s win in Best Achievement in Costume Design makes her the first Black woman to win two Oscars in the Academy Awards’ 95-year history.
Other tidbits: The Banshees of Inisherin went home empty-handed, but Jenny the donkey made it onto the Oscar stage. Lady Gaga decided at the last minute to perform “Hold My Hand.” And although Kimmel joked about it in the show’s opening monologue, Encino Man can now boast that it stars two Oscar winners.
The Oscars took place on Sunday, March 12, 2023 at the Dolby Theatre in Hollywood.
