A few hours ago, the 2023 Oscars ceremony took place at the Dolby Theater in Los Angeles, where the Academy of Motion Picture Arts and Sciences of the United States presents the most prestigious awards in the world of cinema.

The gala itself 95th year of these awards, will not go down in history for its “innovation” or “freshness”. I had to get up early and couldn’t watch it all, but from what I saw (and what I read later) it was tremendous conventional and boringtoo tight to the scenario that the lecturer late at nightJimmy Kimmel.

And it’s because Will Smith’s massive slap to comedian and host Chris Rock, who marked the previous gala with controversy that still resonates, continued to hover like a dark shadow throughout the gala, even as Kimmel tried to smooth it over with a joke. in his monologue. Clearly, the academy wanted to avoid any risk and he opted for a sober, conventional and long action from other times, but at least he managed to avoid a similar scandal.

The musical scores for the “tostone” revival were better, with starring roles for Lady Gaga and Rihanna, both competing for the Oscar for Best Song (although neither managed to win), while the most exciting performances of the night came from Lenny Kravitz’s classic In Memoriam, where it remembered Olivia Newton-John, who died last summer and the eternal protagonist of Grease, along with John Travolta, who had a hard time getting the show off the ground.

Oscars 2023, in a nutshell

Start of lesson. Film “Everything at once everywhere”, was the big winner of the gala. And not by chance, because it won 7 of the 11 awards it was eligible for, including the most important one, film, direction and adapted screenplay. In fact, it is the most awarded film since ‘Who wants to be a millionaire?’ of 2009.

Daniel Kwan and Daniel Scheinert’s film, an authentic crazy chaotic mix of genres, also won awards for actors, supporting roles for Jamie Lee Curtis (the first with 64 tacos) and Ke Huy Quan, and leading for Michelle Yeoh, the first Asian woman. woman to achieve it. To say that this is a tape that is more appreciated by the critics than the public and has as many fans as detractors. After nominations and a hundred awards in previous competitions and forecasts, he undoubtedly became the big favorite of the gala evening. A must see movie.

Another winner was an anti-war film “No News Ahead”. Produced by Netflix, it won four awards, International Film, Cinematography, Production Design and Soundtrack.

He confirms that box office hits don’t always match up with Oscars, saying that the two biggest blockbusters of last year, ‘Top Gun: Maverick’ and ‘Avatar: The Sense of Water’, they won only one prize eachthe former for Best Sound and Cameron’s tape, which was guaranteed before the awards, for Best Special Effects.

Things turned out worse for Steven Spielberg it is completely empty with the autobiographical ‘Los Fabelmans’, after having 7 nominations among the main awards. Times Schindler’s List They have already passed, although his career is impressive.

However, the unofficial “appreciation” of came the biggest disappointment of the night ‘Elvis’. After winning Golden Globes and BAFTAs and being nominated in major categories, he left the Dolby Theater in Los Angeles with a clean slate. It seems that those who are supposed to evaluate the exploration of the life and music of the “King of Rock” did not like it.

To conclude the roundup, let’s mention Brendan Fraser, who revived the market by winning the award for the best actor in a leading role ‘Whale’; to “Pinocchio” Guillermo del Toro for best animated film or a nod to superheroes with the presence of “Black Panther: Wakanda Forever,” which won best costumes.
