\u201cEverything Everywhere All at Once\u201d was\u00a0all over the Oscar ceremony, marking a resurgence for theatrical releases in a year that still saw Netflix \u2013 as the preeminent streaming option \u2013 make its presence felt.<\/p>\n

If the Academy wanted a drama-free awards ceremony after last year\u2019s incident involving Will Smith and Chris Rock, the group can breathe a sigh of relief over not needing to call upon the services of the\u00a0crisis-public-relations team\u00a0that it retained just in case.<\/p>\n

What they got, instead, was a frequently heartfelt and moving ceremony, prompting actor Riz Ahmed to observe about an hour into the show, after presenting the best documentary to the CNN Films presentation\u00a0\u201cNavalny,\u201d\u00a0\u201cIt\u2019s an emotional year.\u201d<\/p>\n

\"\u2018Everything
Michelle Yeoh, star of \u201cEverything Everywhere All at Once,\u201d accepts the Oscar for best actress. \u201cLadies, don\u2019t let anybody tell you you are ever past your prime,\u201d the 60-year-old actress said. \u201cNever give up.\u201d Carlos Barria\/Reuters<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n

That it was. \u201cEverything Everywhere\u201d kicked off its big night by sweeping the supporting honours for Jamie Lee Curtis and Key Huy Quan, who both set an enormously high bar for those who followed with their tearful acceptance speeches \u2013 Quan calling his win \u201cthe American dream,\u201d and Curtis repeating \u201cI just won an Oscar\u201d to all those she wished to thank, including her late parents, Janet Leigh and Tony Curtis, who were both once nominees.<\/p>\n

The eccentric science-fiction concept went on to win seven awards, including writing and directing for the team of Daniel Kwan and Daniel Scheinert (known as \u201cDaniels\u201d). That\u2019s the most hardware for any movie since \u201cGravity\u201d equaled that total in 2009, a tally last exceeded by a best picture winner with \u201cSlumdog Millionaire\u201d 14 years ago.<\/p>\n

Without rivaling the year\u2019s major blockbusters, \u201cEverything Everywhere\u201d was a surprise theatrical hit, grossing more than $100 million worldwide, a record for its independent distributor, A24.<\/p>\n

More tears flowed when\u00a0Brendan Fraser\u00a0was rewarded for his work in \u201cThe Whale\u201d (as was the movie\u2019s makeup team), while \u201cEverything Everywhere\u2019s\u201d Michelle Yeoh received her\u00a0history-making lead actress statuette\u00a0as an Asian woman from another trailblazer, Halle Berry, kissing her award for good measure.<\/p>\n

Becoming the first Black woman to receive two Oscars, \u201cBlack Panther: Wakanda Forever\u201d costume designer\u00a0Ruth E. Carter\u00a0looked skyward and asked the late Chadwick Boseman to look after her mom, who recently died at the age of 101.<\/p>\n

Lady Gaga\u2019s performance of \u201cHold My Hand\u201d from \u201cTop Gun: Maverick\u201d also featured a dedication to the late Tony Scott, who directed the original, in an evening that maximized its entertainment aspects by putting star-driven musical performances front and centre.<\/p>\n

Host Jimmy Kimmel set the tone after literally parachuting into the ceremony, delivering an opening monologue that poked fun at the event, last year\u2019s tumultuous moment and the high-profile attendees who were there and (in the case of Tom Cruise and James Cameron) who weren\u2019t, without appearing to be mean spirited.<\/p>\n

Still, Kimmel also delivered the night\u2019s most pointed zinger, following the award for editing by saying, \u201cEditors can turn 44,000 hours of violent insurrection footage into a respectful sightseeing tour of the Capitol,\u201d a reference to Fox News host Tucker Carlson\u2019s controversial presentation culled from footage\u00a0made exclusively available to him\u00a0by House Speaker Kevin McCarthy.<\/p>\n

Although the awards came as Hollywood seeks promote its theatrical business, Netflix reaped the benefits of its investment in movies with seven awards. Four of those \u2013 international feature, production design, musical score and cinematography \u2013 went to the German remake \u201cAll Quiet on the Western Front,\u201d plus best animated film for the stop-motion \u201cGuillermo del Toro\u2019s Pinocchio,\u201d best song for \u201cRRR\u2019s\u201d buoyant \u201cNaatu Naatu,\u201d and documentary short \u201cThe Elephant Whisperers.\u201d<\/p>\n

The Oscars also reflected the allowances being made to commercial pressures, with what amounted to in-broadcast promotional plugs for Disney\u2019s\u00a0\u201cThe Little Mermaid\u201d\u00a0and a celebration of Warner Bros.\u2019 history, blurring the line between ads for the industry and the show itself.

Although the Academy made the crowd-pleasing decision of fully presenting all 23 categories, that helped flummox efforts to streamline a ceremony that ran over 3 \u00bd hours, prompting Kimmel to quip in closing, \u201cWe now join \u2018Good Morning America,\u2019 already in progress.\u201d<\/p>\n

The \u201cawards season\u201d building toward this year\u2019s 95th Oscars gave every indication \u201cEverything Everywhere All at Once\u201d would emerge with the most-coveted prize, having been recognized by the Independent Spirit Awards and the guilds that represent actors, directors, writers, producers and editors, all constituents of the Academy of Motion Picture Arts and Sciences, which votes on the awards.<\/p>\n

This year\u2019s Oscars come as the entertainment industry remains in\u00a0a state of flux, seeking to recover theatrical audience lost during the pandemic while still building streaming platforms that thrived in terms of adding subscribers with everyone at home, but which are struggling to achieve profitability.<\/p>\n

Streaming titles,\u00a0\u201cCODA\u201d\u00a0and \u201cNomadland,\u201d won best picture in the last two cycles, although last year\u2019s outcome was somewhat overshadowed by Smith walking to the stage to slap Rock. Just before the pandemic took hold\u00a0\u201cParasite,\u201d\u00a0the South Korean thriller, became the first non-English-language film to be named best picture.<\/p>\n

The major studios are heading into a robust summer of theatrical releases, hoping to build on box-office returns generated by two of this year\u2019s best-picture nominees, the long-delayed sequels \u201cTop Gun: Maverick\u201d and \u201cAvatar: The Way of Water,\u201d each of whose global earnings individually dwarfed those of the other eight contenders combined.<\/p>\n

One final takeaway: When it comes to awards, Hollywood\u2019s gratitude to blockbusters only goes so far. \u201cAvatar\u201d and \u201cTop Gun\u201d each received one Oscar on Sunday night, for visual effects and sound, respectively.<\/p>\n
