Oscar 2023: these are the winners of the Hollywood Academy Awards

In a gala full of emotions, the United States Academy of Motion Picture Arts and Sciences awarded this Sunday the Oscars to the most outstanding films in the last year and Everything Everywhere All At Once (“Everything everywhere at the same time”) became the big winner of the night.

The film directed by Daniel Kwan and Daniel Scheinert earned seven of the 11 nominations it had garnered, including best picture, direction, leading actress, and supporting actress and actor.

He followed Im Westen Nichts Neues (“All Quiet on the Front”) with four of the nine statuettes for which it was competing, including Best International Film.

The 95th edition of the Hollywood Awards kicked off at 5:00 p.m. local time (00:00 GMT) at the Dolby Theater in Los Angeles, with host Jimmy Kimmel as master of ceremony.

The Mexican Guillermo del Toro opened the night with the triumph of “Pinocchio” in the category of best animated film and was the only Latin American awarded. Cuban actress Ana de Armas, star of Blonde (“Blonde”) and “Argentina, 1985”, which was competing for best international film, fell by the wayside.

Two highly anticipated awards

There was great expectation in the preview for the categories for best actress and supporting actor for the performances of Jamie Lee Curtis and Ke Huy Quan in Everything Everywhere All At Once (“Everything everywhere at the same time”).

The 64-year-old American actress, with a long career in Hollywood, won the Academy Award for the first time for her role as Deirdre Beaubeirdre in the film with the most nominations.

Curtis thanked the “hundreds” of people who worked on the film and who, he said, were winning along with it.

“The whole group of artists who made this movie, we just won an Oscar!” he exclaimed.

“To all the people who have supported the genre films I’ve made over the years. The thousands and hundreds and thousands of people, we just won an Oscar, together!”

She also thanked her husband and daughters, and emotionally remembered her parents, who were also nominated for the golden statuette -Tony Curtis in 1959 for The Defiant Ones (“Fuga in chains”) and Janet Leigh in 1961 for “Psycho”-.

Ke Huy Quan, Curtis’s co-star in “Everything Everywhere at the Same Time,” won best supporting actor and brought the 51-year-old Vietnamese-American performer back to the big screen after a long spell away.

Quan, who puts himself in the shoes of the character Waymond Wang, had made his film debut in 1984 with “Indiana Jones and the Temple of Doom” by Steven Spielberg, but then had a few roles and moved away from the cameras.

Visibly moved, Quan thanked the statuette received.

“Mom, I just won an Oscar!” she said.

“My journey began on a ship, I spent a year in a refugee camp (…) They say that stories like this only happen in movies,” he continued.

“I owe everything to the love of my life, my wife, Echo, who told me month after month, year after year, that one day my time would come,” he said.

“To all of you, please keep your dreams alive. Thank you for hosting me again,” the actor said.
