The 95th Academy Awards (The Oscars 2023) definitely wasn’t like last year’s ceremony – and for that, the people behind the scenes are probably breathing a sigh of relief. After “the slap,” the Academy instituted a crisis team that was on hand to make sure things didn’t get out of hand. But Sunday night was devoid of that type of drama – and of many surprises.
As expected, “Everything Everywhere All at Once” was a big winner, taking home the awards for best actress, supporting actor and actress, best original screenplay, best picture and best directing categories. Brendan Fraser bested Austin Butler for best actor, which wasn’t exactly an upset as they were both leading contenders. The closest thing that came to a shocker was Sarah Polley’s win for best-adapted screenplay for “Women Talking,” a small film that felt very much the David that beat out the Goliath of a blockbuster, “Top Gun: Maverick,” in the category.
