With seven Oscars, including Best Picture, A24’s sci-fi/action film “Everything Everywhere All at Once” was the top winner for the 95th annual Academy Awards, which took place at the Dolby Theatre in Los Angeles on March 12, 2023. ABC had the live U.S. telecast of the show, which was hosted by Jimmy Kimmel. “Everything Everywhere All at Once,” which had 11 nominations, also won Oscars for Best Director (for Daniel Kwan and Daniel Scheinert); Best Actress (for Michelle Yeoh); Best Supporting Actress (for Jamie Lee Curtis); Best Suporting Actor (for Ke Huy Quan); Best Film Editing; and Best Original Screenplay. “Everything Everywhere All at Once” is about a Chinese American family traveling through multiple time eras, identities and universes.
Netflix’s German-language World War I drama “All Quiet on the Western Front” won four Oscars: Best International Feature Film, Best Cinematography, Best Production Design and Best Original Score. Going into the ceremony, “All Quiet on the Western Front” had nine Oscar nominations. Searchlight Pictures’ 1920s Irish comedy/drama “The Banshees of Inisherin” also garnered nine nominations, but didn’t win any Oscars. For the first time in Oscar history, the category for Best Picture is now required to have no less than 10 nominations per year.
The only other movie to win more than one Oscar this year was the A24 drama “The Whale,” which won the prizes for Best Actor (for Brendan Fraser) and Best Makeup and Hairstyling. In the movie, Fraser portrays an extremely obsese man who is dying. For his role in “The Whale,” Fraser wore prosthetic makeup from the neck down.
The Academy Awards (or Oscars) are voted on and presented by the Academy of Motion Picture Arts and Sciences. The 2003 Oscar ceremony telecast was overseen by executive producer/showrunner Glenn Weiss, executive producer/showrunner Ricky Kirshner and executive producer Molly McNearney.
Artists at the show who performed the five Oscar-nominated songs were Sofia Carson and Diane Warren ( “Applause” from “Tell It Like a Woman”); David Byrne, Stephanie Hsu and Son Lux (“This Is a Life” from “Everything Everywhere All at Once” ); Kaala Bhairava and Rahul Sipligunj (“Naatu Naatu” from “RRR”); Lady Gaga (“Hold My Hand” from “Top Gun: Maverick”); and Rihanna (“Lift Me Up” from “Black Panther: Wakanda Forever”). “Naatu Naatu” won the Oscar, which went to songwriters M.M. Keeravaani and Chandrabose.
Presenters at the ceremony were Riz Ahmed, Halle Bailey, Antonio Banderas, Elizabeth Banks, Halle Berry, Emily Blunt, Jessica Chastain, John Cho, Jennifer Connelly, Paul Dano, Ariana DeBose, Cara Delevingne, Harrison Ford, Morgan Freeman, Andrew Garfield, Hugh Grant, Danai Gurira, Salma Hayek Pinault, Kate Hudson, Samuel L.

With four prizes, including Outstanding Performance by a Cast in a Motion Picture, A24’s sci-fi genre-bending movie “Everything Everywhere All at Once” was the top winner at the 29th annual Screen Actors Guild (SAG) Awards, which were presented at the Fairmont Century Plaza in Los Angeles, on February 26, 2023. It was the most SAG Awards won by any movie in SAG Awards history. The ceremony (which had no host and no commercials) was livestreamed on Netflix’s YouTube channel. In previous years, the SAG Awards ceremony was televised on NBC (from 1994 to 1996) and on TNT (from 1997 to 2022, with TBS added in 2006) in the United States. As of 2024, the SAG Awards will be livestreamed on Netflix. The SAG Awards are voted on by members of the SAG-AFTRA union.
“Everything Everywhere All at Once” shows a Chinese American family going through various time-traveling experiences across multiple universes, as the family members come to terms with personal challenges. The movie also won prizes in all of the other categories where it was nominated: Michelle Yeoh won the award for Outstanding Performance by a Female Actor in a Leading Role. Ke Huy Quan received the prize for Outstanding Performance by a Male Actor in a Supporting Role. Jamie Lee Curtis took the award for Outstanding Performance by a Female Actor in a Supporting Role.
“Everything Everywhere All at Once” was one of the leading contenders, with five nominations. Stephanie Hsu was nominated in the category for Outstanding Performance by a Female Actor in a Supporting Role. It was a history-making event for diversity at the SAG Awards, because Yeoh and Quan became the first Asians to win in their respective categories. Searchlight Pictures’ dark comedy “The Banshees of Inisherin,” which also had five nominations going into the ceremony, ended winning no SAG Awards.
Another winner in the movie categories was Brendan Fraser of the A24 drama “The Whale,” winner of Outstanding Performance by a Male Actor in a Leading Role. A24 almost had a clean sweep of all the movie categories. The only movie category that did not have an A24 movie winner in 2023 was Outstanding Action Performance by a Stunt Ensemble in a Motion Picture, which went to Paramount Pictures’ “Top Gun: Maverick.”
In the TV categories, the awards were more spread out among different TV shows. HBO’s “The White Lotus” had the most wins (two) at this year’s SAG Awards. The show won for Outstanding Performance by an Ensemble in a Drama Series, while Jennifer Coolidge won the prize for Outstanding Performance by a Female Actor in a Drama Series. ABC’s “Abbott Elementary” won for Outstanding Performance by an Ensemble in a Comedy Series.
Sally Field won the Screen Actors Guild Life Achievement Award, a non-competitive prize whose recipient is announced several weeks before the ceremony takes place. Presenters at the show were Quinta Brunson, Jenelle James, Zendaya, Paul Mescal, Hsu, Quan, Yeoh, Jenna Ortega, Aubrey Plaza, Amy Poehler, Adam Scott, Paul Dano, Michelle Williams, Gabriel LaBelle, Haley Lu Richardson, Ashley Park, Courtney B. Vance, Eugene Levy, Fran Drescher, Jason Bateman, Emily Blunt, Jessie Buckley, Claire Foy, Rooney Mara, Orlando Bloom, Diego Calva, Li Jun Li, Jovan Adepo, Andrew Garfield, Ariana DeBose, Gabriel Luna, Caleb McLaughlin, Antonia Gentry, Jenny Slate, James Marsden, Don Cheadle, Colin Farrell, Brendan Gleeson, Jeff Bridges, Jessica Chastain and Mark Wahlberg.

With eight prizes, including Outstanding Motion Picture, Marvel Studios’ superhero blockbuster “Black Panther: Wakanda Forever” was the top winner at the 54th annual NAACP Image Awards. Hosted by Queen Latifah, the televised award show was held on February 25, 2023, at the Pasadena Civic Auditorium in Pasadena, California. BET had the U.S. telecast of the show, which was simulcast on several other Paramount Global Networks-owned TV networks, including CBS, MTV, MTV2, VH1, Logo, Paramount, BET Her, CMT, Pop, Comedy Central, Smithsonian Channel, Pluto TV, and TV Land. It was the first NAACP Image Awards show that was held in front of a live, in-person audience since 2020. The National Association for the Advancement of Colored People (NAACP) selected the nominees, while the winners in the competitive categories were voted for online by the general public.
“Black Panther: Wakanda Forever” was the leading contender going into the ceremony, by having the most nominations (12) before the winners were announced. In addition to winning Outstanding Motion Picture, “Black Panther: Wakanda Forever” won awards for Outstanding Supporting Actress in a Motion Picture (for Angela Bassett); Outstanding Supporting Actor in a Motion Picture (for Tenoch Huerta); Outstanding Ensemble Cast in a Motion Picture; Outstanding Writing in a Motion Picture (for Ryan Coogler); Outstanding Costume Design (for Ruth E. Carter); Outstanding Hairstyling (for Camille Friend); Outstanding Soundtrack/Compilation Album. On a related note, Rihanna’s “Lift Me Up” (from the “Black Panther: Wakanda Forever” soundtrack) was awarded Outstanding Music Video/Visual Album, which is a prize that goes to the artist (Rihanna) and video director (Autumn Durald Arkapaw), not the makers of “Black Panther: Wakanda Forever.”
Other winners of multiple awards included Bassett, who won three prizes: In addition to her “Black Panther: Wakanda Forever” award, she won the prizes for Outstanding Actress in a Drama Series (for her role in Fox’s “9-1-1”) and Entertainer of the Year. This was the first time in NAACP Image Awards history that all of the Entertainer of the Year nominees were women. Beyoncé, who had five nominations, won three of those awards: Outstanding Album (for “Renaissance”); Outstanding Soul/R&B Song (for “Cuff It”); and Outstanding Female Artist.
ABC’s “Abbott Elementary” had nine nominations and ended up winning six prizes: Outstanding Comedy Series; Outstanding Actress in a Comedy Series (for Quinta Brunson); Outstanding Supporting Actor in a Comedy Series (for Tyler James Williams); Outstanding Supporting Actress in a Comedy Series (for Janelle James); Outstanding Writing in a Comedy Series (for Brittani Nichols); and Outstanding Breakthrough Creative (Television), for Brunson.
Starz’s “P-Valley” was nominated for six prizes and won three: Outstanding Drama Series; Outstanding Actor in a Drama Series (for Nicco Annan); and Outstanding Supporting Actress in a Drama Series (for Loretta Devine). Also winning three prizes (from seven nominations) was Peacock’s “The Best Man: The Final Chapters,” which garnered the awards for Outstanding Television Movie, Mini-Series or Dramatic Special; Outstanding Actor in a Television Movie, Mini-Series or Dramatic Special (for Morris Chestnut); and Outstanding Supporting Actress in a Television Movie, Limited-Series or Dramatic Special (for Nia Long).
Presentations of untelevised categories were livestreamed from February 20 to February 24, 2023, on the NAACP Image Awards website. On February 24, 2023, the NAACP had a pre-telecast awards program and dinner in Los Angeles. Hosted by Bresha Webb, the event gave recognition to nominees and previously announced winners. The NAACP Imahe Awards added new categories (all non-televised) in 2023: Outstanding Costume Design, Outstanding Hairstyling and Outstanding Make-Up. The award for Outstanding Make-Up was won by Debi Young, Sandra Linn, Ngozi Olandu Young and Gina Bateman of the HBO miniseries “We Own This City.”
The televised ceremony also gave a spotlight to honorees in non-competitive categories, where the honorees were selected by the NAACP and announced several days in advance of the show. The Chairman’s Award was given to Congressman Bennie G. Thompson. The President’s Award went to Gabrielle Union-Wade and Dwyane Wade. The Social Justice Impact Award was given to Benjamin Crump. The Jackie Robinson Sports Award went to Serena Williams. In non-televised parts of the ceremony, other prizes in non-competitive categories included Activist of the Year (Dr. Derrick L. Forward); Youth Activist of the Year (Bradley Ross Jackson); NAACP-Archewell Digital Civil Rights Award (Nabiha Syed); and The Vanguard Award (Bethann Hardison).

At the 65th annual Grammy Awards, Harry Styles won Album of the Year for “Harry’s House,” but Beyoncé won four awards and made Grammy history by being the artist to win the most Grammys of all time. Beyoncé’s four Grammy wins now brings her total to 32 Grammys. The previous record of winning 31 Grammys was held by Georg Solti, a Hungarian British conductor who was music director of the Chicago Symphony Orchestra from 1969 to 1991.
The 65th annual ceremony Grammy took place on February 5, 2023, at the Crypto.com Arena in Los Angeles. Trevor Noah hosted the ceremony, which was telecast in the U.S. on CBS, while Paramount+ livestreamed the event. The Grammy Awards are presented and voted on by the Recording Academy.
Beyoncé won Grammys for Best R&B Song (for “Cuff It”); Best Traditional R&B Performance (for “Plastic Off the Sofa”); Best Dance Electronic Recording (for “Break My Soul”); and Best Dance/Electronic Music Album (for “Renaissance”). The latter win was the one that gave her the record-breaking Grammy haul. Beyoncé went into the ceremony with the most nominations (nine), followed by Kendrick Lamar with eight, and Brandi Carlile and Adele with seven each.
In addition to winning Album of the Year, Styles’ “Harry’s House” won for Best Pop Vocal Album. Lizzo’s “About Damn Time” won Record of the Year. Bonnie Raitt’s “Just Like That” was named Song of the Year. Samara Joy won the prize for Best New Artist.
Performers at the ceremony included Bad Bunny, Mary J. Blige, Carlile, Luke Combs, Steve Lacy, Lizzo, Kim Petras, Sam Smith, Styles, and DJ Khaled with Fridayy, Jay-Z, John Legend, Lil Wayne and Rick Ross.
In addition, there were multi-performer segments with certain themes. To celebrate the 50th anniversary of hip-hop, an all-star lineup of hip-hop performers from various generations did a medley of songs. The performers included LL Cool J, Big Boi, Busta Rhymes with Spliff Star, De La Soul, DJ Drama, DJ Jazzy Jeff, Missy Elliott, Future, GloRilla, Grandmaster Flash, Grandmaster Mele Mel & Scorpio/Ethiopian King, Ice-T, Lil Baby, Lil Wayne, The Lox, Method Man, Nelly, Public Enemy, Queen Latifah, Rahiem, Rakim, Run-DMC, Salt-N-Pepa and Spinderella, Scarface, Swizz Beatz and Too $hort. Before this star-studded performance, LL Cool J presented Dr. Dre with the inaugural Dr. Dre Global Impact Award, given by the Recording Academy’s Black Music Collective to people who have made an important impact in music by black artists.
Stevie Wonder, Smokey Robinson, Chris Stapleton performed a medley of songs in tribute to Robinson and Motown founder Berry Gordy, who were the 2023 honorees for MusiCares Person of the Year. The ceremony’s In Memoriam segment (which had photos of music industry notables who passed away since the previous Grammy ceremony) featured Kacey Musgraves performing “Coal Miner’s Daughter” in a tribute to Loretta Lynn; Sheryl Crow, Mick Fleetwood and Bonnie Raitt saluting Christine McVie with a performance of “Songbird”; and Maverick City Music joining Quavo for “Without You” in remembrance of Takeoff.

As a jury we know how impossible it is to make work that is real, full of pain, and fearless in its rigorous commitment to emotional truth born of oppressive circumstances. It is our honor to award the U.S. Grand Jury Prize: Dramatic to A Thousand and One.

The authenticity and command of place and space by the filmmaker and her insistence in creating a world where pain and joy align perfectly delivered a story full of heart and soul.

Smith, Producers: Harris Doran, Bill Butler) — Four Black transgender sex workers explore the dichotomy between the Black community and themselves, while confronting issues long avoided. World Premiere. Documentary. Available online.
Jury citation: For taking the traditional “talking heads” documentary structure and opening it up with the use of camera, sound, editing techniques, and imagery to create a dazzling journey with a fluidity that is entirely new. For a groundbreaking presentation of the lives of black trans women sex-workers in black and white, for taking us into their bedrooms and sharing in their incredible vulnerability as we hear their stories, all the while listening with her camera in a way that is electric and alive. For examining the injustice of a world that relegates so many women to a second-class citizenship and the oppressive nature of gender roles for everyone. For making perhaps the funniest movie Sundance has ever shown, and reminding us that the life or death struggle of these women is best understood in their defiant use of humor as a weapon. The NEXT wave of cinema is the profound use of comedy for serious subject matter, and for bringing us all together with laughter, in a hope that the love we come to feel for the people in this film can result in a larger social transformation. The NEXT Innovator Award goes to KOKOMO CITY directed by D. Smith.

With 11 nominations, A24’s sci-fi/action film “Everything Everywhere All at Once” is the top contender for the 95th annual Academy Awards, which will take place at the Dolby Theatre in Los Angeles on March 12, 2023. ABC will have the live U.S. telecast of the show, which will be hosted by Jimmy Kimmel. Netflix’s German-language World War I drama “All Quiet on the Western Front” and Searchlight Pictures’ 1920s Irish comedy/drama “The Banshees of Inisherin” garnered nine nominations each. All three films are nominated for Best Picture, a category that—for the first time in Oscar history—is now required to have no less than 10 nominations per year.
The other nominations for Best Picture for the 2023 Academy Awards are 20th Century Studios’ sci-fi epic “Avatar: The Way of Water,” Warner Bros. Pictures’ drama “Elvis,” Universal Pictures’ drama “The Fabelmans,” Focus Features’ drama “TÁR,” Paramount Pictures’ action film “Top Gun: Maverick,” Neon’s comedy/drama “Triangle of Sadness” and Orion Pictures’ drama “Women Talking.”
The Academy Awards (or Oscars) are voted on and presented by the Academy of Motion Pictures Arts and Sciences. The 95th annual televised Oscar ceremony will be headed by executive producers/showrunners Glenn Weiss and Ricky Kirshner and executive producer Molly McNearney.
Snubs and Surprises
Columbia Pictures’ action film “The Woman King,” which has been getting nominations (mostly for lead actress Viola Davis) at other awards shows, was completely shut out of the Oscar nominations. Also getting snubbed was Danielle Deadwyler, who has been getting nominated elsewhere for her lead actress performance in the Orion Pictures drama “Till,” which failed to get any Oscar nominations. And although James Cameron got a Best Picture nod for being a producer of “Avatar: The Way of Water,” he missed out on getting a Best Director nomination for the movie, even though he’s been nominated for Best Director at most other major award shows.
Surprises included a Best Actress nomination for Andrea Riseborough of the Momentum Pictures drama “To Leslie,” which has not been getting nominated at any other major award shows, except for the Film Independent Spirit Awards, where Riseborough was nominated for Best Lead Performance. “All Quiet on the Western Front” received nine Oscar nominations, which has never happened before for a German-language film. The only other major award show that has given “All Quiet on the Western Front” several nominations is the British Academy Film Awards (BAFTAs), which bestowed 14 nominations on the movie.
