A heartwarming moment came when an emotional Brendan Fraser handed his first Oscar after his triumphant return to the world of showbusiness last year.The star received the accolade for his leading role in The Whale, which follows Charlie, a reclusive and unhealthy English teacher who is eating his way to death but desperate to reconnect with his estranged daughter. The film seemingly divided viewers and critics alike, with some people taking issue with the use of a fat suit and how it portrayed plus-size people.

been a yearsince Will Smith slapped Chris Rock at the 2022 Oscars — and the banned actor’s award still doesn’t have his name on it. Janet Yang, president of the Academy of Motion Picture Arts and Sciences, told The Hollywood Reporter’s “Awards Chatter” podcast that Smith, 54, may be prohibited from the show or any Academy events for nine more years, but he’s still welcome to get his nameplate engraved onto his Best Actor trophy. “He earned the Oscar.

A24, the scrappy indie studio that has built a brand for itself as a home for hip and cutting-edge movies, triumphed over its deeper-pocketed rivals at the Oscars on Sunday. It scored a leading nine wins, topping that of its closest competitor, Netflix, which had to settle for six trophies. Plus, A24 not only captured best picture for “Everything Everywhere All at Once” but also pulled off the incredibly rare feat of winning every major acting category, with three statuettes coming for the cast of the head-spinning adventure film and the other one recognizing Brendan Fraser’s work in “The Whale.” But don’t expect the studio to do a victory lap. Co-founders David Fenkel and Daniel Katz (who named their shop after the highway that connects Rome to Teramo) shun the spotlight and have done almost no interviews or profiles, though they have certainly been asked. Rather, the indie moguls say they prefer to let their films speak for themselves — an anomaly in Hollywood, where executives usually push one another aside to claim credit for successes.

Michael Schneider Variety Editor at Large As he was lifted into the Dolby Theater rafters five minutes before the Oscars were set to begin, Jimmy Kimmel’s monologue still wasn’t locked.

One if Rihanna had her baby on her lap, which she wanted to do. And one if her baby was not on her lap. A lot of our jokes were kind of at the mercy of people being in their seats.”

Saturday Night Live has been criticised after using “offensive” Irish stereotypes during an Oscars sketch on the show at the weekend.The sketch, which was aired the day before the 95th Academy Awards ceremony, saw Marcello Hernandez and Heidi Gardner acting as presenters who were interviewing Colin Farrell and Brendan Gleeson, who were played by Mikey Day and Molly Kearny.“How do you guys like your chances tonight?” Gardner asks them in reference to The Banshees Of Inisherin, with the comedians replying in extremely thick, hard-to-understand accents.“Wow, and they haven’t even started drinking yet!” Hernandez then responds.All the stars are out at the Oscars pic.twitter.com/BHKygkLJPW— Saturday Night Live – SNL (@nbcsnl) March 12, 2023The sketch sparked a backlash with Derry Girls creator Lisa McGee sharing the clip with the words: “Yes this fine” followed by a face-palm emoji.Yes this fine
