[dramatic music]

Time to go make a movie!

[dramatic music]

[dramatic music]

Lines?

Longways and dreams that you never forget.

[dramatic music]

Camera?

[dramatic music]

Action!

[dramatic music]

[screaming]

[screaming]

[dramatic music]

Are you ready?

Two-five?

Come on, man.

[dramatic music]

[dramatic music]

Only you got it!

No, no, just!

Yes!

[dramatic music]

Wherever we go, this
family is our fortress.

[dramatic music]

Show them who we are.

[dramatic music]

Big heart, amazing!

Of all the places I could be, I
was always want to hear with you.

I want to interrupt ever,
ever, and ever, and ever!

So let's just call it quits.

We won't call it quits.

We'll call it the start.

[dramatic music]

We can't outrun this
car, we gotta adjust.

One, we need altitude.

No, we don't.

Pull the ejection handles
the second I tell you.

I don't want to pull the handles.

I don't want to pull the handle.

I'm not pulling what's wrong with this guy.

You're throwing away!

[dramatic music]

The jet, the jet, the jet,
why are you like this time?

[dramatic music]

[dramatic music]

[dramatic music]

[dramatic music]

[dramatic music]

Ladies and gentlemen, your host
for this evening, Jimmy Kimmel.

[dramatic music]

[cheering]

[cheering]

[cheering]

Thank you.

[cheering]

Thank you.

[cheering]

Give me a second, I
adjust my danger zone here.

My banshees are caught in
my inner shearing right now.

All right, I'm good.

Welcome and congratulations.

Welcome to the 95th Oscars.

[cheering]

You made it.

You made it.

[cheering]

Congratulations.

I know that being here tonight is a
dream come true for most of the people

in this room.

Thank you for inviting me to be a
part of it, especially this year when the

world finally

got out of the house to see the films
you worked so hard to make, the way

you intended them

to be seen in a theater.

[cheering]

And I also want to say that I am happy
to see that Nicole Kidman has finally

been released from
that abandoned AMC,

where she has been held captive
for almost two full years now.

It's good to have you back in a call.

And thank you for encouraging people
who were already at the movie theater

to go to the movie theater.

You look great.

Everybody looks so great.

When I look around this room, I can't
help but wonder, is those epic right.

for me?

We have so many first time nominees
here in the acting categories alone.

There are 16 first time nominees,
including Jamie Lee Curtis, including

Hannah DeArmas, Colin Earl Michelle
Yow, Brendan Fraser, Keith Riefon.

This is I think a great
piece of Oscar trivia.

Thirty-one years ago in 1992, Brendan
Fraser and Keith Riefon were in a

movie together.

Which movie it was? And Cino Man.

Two actors from And Cino
Man are nominated for Oscars.

[cheering]

What a... What an
incredible night this

must be for the two
of you and what a very

difficult night for Paulie Shore.

[laughter]

Maybe it's time to reboot by a
dome. Why not all the top ten

highest-grossing films this
year were sequels or franchises?

They say Hollywood is
running out of new ideas.

I mean, poor Steven Spielberg had to
make a movie about Steven Spielberg.

[laughter]

Congratulations, Steven.

Look at this, by the way. I want to
say right here, this is my favorite duo

of the year, Steven
Spielberg and Seth Rogan.

What a pair.

Joe and Hunter Biden of Hollywood.

[laughter]

Seth, what are you on right now, be honest?

Nothing?

Much films, right?

[laughter]

Did you give one to Steven?
Give him one. Let's see what happens.

Maybe it'll make something crazy.

Steven claims he's never even
smoked weed, which I find hard to believe.

You need to tell me you were sober
when you made a movie about an alien who

eats Reese's Pieces
all day and... [laughter]

Can't remember how to phone home.

[laughter]

You were high as a bike
when you made that movie.

[laughter]

Steven is the first
director to be nominated

in six different
decades for an Oscar.

[cheers and applause]

Yes, remarkable.

[applause]

This time, as you know, he is nominated
for the Fable Men's, which is by far

his most personal film.

They say, "Right, what you know it."

And they say,
"Right, what you know

your mom did with
her dad's best friend.".

And Steven did that, and the result
was yet another Oscar nomination for the

great Michelle Williams,
who is... [applause]

Right there, Michelle.

[applause]

And the Fable Men's wasn't
an easy shoot for Michelle.

After almost every take, Spielberg
would rush up to her with tears in his

eyes, and he'd scream,
"That's not how mommy said it."

[laughter]

I also want to extend congratulations
to Steven's longtime collaborator,

the Maestro John Williams, who is
now the oldest nominee in Oscar history.

And he looks great.

John turned 91 years
old last month, and

he's still scoring, if
you know what I mean.

[laughter]

And by the way, if you've never made
love to the score from Raiders of the

Lost Ark, do yourself a favor.

[laughter]

Another... only Walt Disney.

This is great.

An only Walt Disney has been nominated
for more Oscars than John Williams.

He's been nominated
53 times, and... [applause]

...nominated 53 times.

He's won five, which
honestly is not that great.

[laughter]

But good luck tonight.

It was a very good year for movies.

Business is booming.

I know people like to debate now,
which is better, movies are TV, but here's

the thing.

No matter how good a show is, there
are some things movies could do that TV

just can.

For example, a TV show
can't lose $100 million.

[laughter]

Is the gang from Babylon here? They know.

[laughter]

I was just asking if they were here.
I was welcoming.

At least Babylon got released in August.

You know, back girl became the
first superhero to be defeated by an

accounting department.

[laughter]

And then we had the big one, the long,
long, long-awaited Avatar, the way of

water, which gave... [applause]

...the director, the producer, Jim
Cameron, another opportunity to do what

he loves to do more than anything else.

Browning Kate Winslet.

The sequel to Avatar, it's the
most expensive movie ever made.

Disney spent $2 billion on this movie.

Just to break even, all of Nick Cannon's
kids had to see Avatar four times.

[laughter]

And they did, I guess.

James Cameron is not
here, by the way, tonight.

You know a show is too long, and
even James Cameron can't sit through it.

[laughter]

Some of the cynics are saying Jim
Cameron isn't here because he didn't get a

best director nomination.

And while I find it very hard to believe
about a man of such deep humility,

he does have a point.

I mean, how does the Academy not
nominate the guy who directed Avatar?

What do they think he is, a woman?

[laughter]

What a... [applause]

Thank you, ladies.

[applause]

It was some year for diversity and
inclusion that we have nominees from

every corner of Dublin.

[laughter]

And five Irish actors are nominated
tonight, which means the odds of another

fight on stage just went way up.

[laughter]

And while we're on the subject of
diversity, I want to say especially those

of you watching at home,

there are a number of excellent
films and performances that were not

nominated tonight,

including Till and the Woman King,
which are both based on two stories with

great performances from
Danielle's dead-wiler and Viola Davis,

that are very worthy of your time if
you haven't seen them, as is a small

independent film called Top Gun Maverick,

the movie that saved the movies.

Everyone loved Top Gun. Everybody.

[applause]

Tom Cruise with his shirt off
and that beach football scene,

El Ron Hubba Hubba,
you know what I'm saying?

[laughter]

Tom and James Cameron
didn't show up tonight.

The two guys who insisted we go to
the theater didn't come to the theater.

So if you're hoping to get a
look at Tom Cruise, he's not here,

or maybe he is here, maybe
that's Tom Cruise right there,

wearing a Judd Hirsch
Mission Impossible mask.

There's only one way to find out for sure.

Judd, we're going
to need you to drive

a motorcycle off the
roof of the theater.

You know who else is here? The
right excellent, Niana, is with us tonight.

Riana got her first Austin nomination
from the song with Vyak from Black

Panther or Thunder Forever.

Last month, she performed
at the Super Bowl tonight.

Riana will be performing
at our halftime in

just about four and a
half hours from now.

Riana has a nine-month-old
backstage, and he's very cute.

He pooped during rehearsal.

You know the last person who
pooped backstage at the Oscars was?

That accountant who mixed up the envelopes.

Riana is here, Lady Gaga is here.

Wonderful.

My God, even Elvis is
in the building tonight.

Daria's awesome baller.

Austin, as you know,
is the first time nominee,

he was so convincing as Elvis still is.

This is a good Hollywood story.

After they started
shooting Elvis, Tom

Hanks gave Austin
a vintage typewriter.

As a gift and in it, Tom wrote, he
left a note written from Colonel Tom

Parker to Elvis.

So then Austin used the typewriter
to write Tom back as Elvis Presley.

And they got to know each other by
sending letters back and forth as Elvis

and Tom.

Which is just because you
show how incredibly silly this all is.

You have silly jobs, but
Austin, you're so talented.

I know Elvis would have
loved your performance.

And in fact, according to my
QAnon Reddit page, he did.

We know this is a special night for you.

We want you to have fun.

We want you to feel safe.

And most importantly,
we want me to feel safe.

So we have strict policies in place.

If anyone in this
theater commits an act

of violence, at any
point during the show,

you will be awarded
the Oscar for Best Actor.

And permitted to give a
19-minute long speech.

No, but seriously, the Academy
has a crisis team in place.

If anything unpredictable or
violent happens during the ceremony,

just do what you did last year. Nothing.

Sit there and do absolutely nothing.

Maybe even give the assailant a hug.

And if any of you get mad at a joke
and decide you want to come up here and

get jiggy with it,

it's not going to be easy.

If you and my friends are
going to have to get through first.

You're going to have to get through
the heavyweight champ, a Donna Screed,

before you get to me.

You're going to have to do battle
with Michelle Yell before you get to me.

You're going to have to beat the
Mandalorian before you get to me.

You are going to have
to tangle with Spider-Man.

You are going to have
to tangle with Fableman.

And then you're going to have to go
through my right hand man Guillermo if

you want to get up to this stage.

Oh, wait a minute.

Hold on, I should say.

The other Guillermo. Not Del Toro.

Yes, that one.

I know he's cute, but make no mistake.

You even so much as waving me that
sweet little man will beat the Lydia Tar

out of you.

There will be no nonsense tonight.

We have no time for shenanigans.

This is a celebration of everyone here.

You told us you wanted all the
categories back in and we listened.

They're all back in.

That's right.

We will be showing
all 23 categories live

tonight, except for
one earlier tonight.

Best picture went to all
quiet on the Western Front.

Congratulations to Germany.

We put all the categories back in
because the movie community wanted it.

Almost as much as the
television community didn't want it.

So no complaining about
how long the show is.

I saw all your movies.

I know it's my turn to make you sit
in a theater for three and a half hours.

That doesn't mean we
don't want to hear you speak.

We do.

We want your speeches to be moving.

We also want to keep it moving.

So speech goes on too long.

This year we're not
going to play you off stage.

Instead, we have a group of
performers from the movie RRR.

We're going to dance you off stage.

If you go too long, we're going
to polywood gomsrow your ass.

So let's get this going.

Welcome our first presenters of the
night, Wayne Johnson and Emily Blud.

[APPLAUSE]

Can you do any of those moves?

I can.

Just like that.

I walked out late.

Hello.

We know the show just started, so
we're going to get straight to the point.

We're here to present the
award for Best Animated Feature.

Ah.

Yes.

Yes.

[APPLAUSE]

Animation.

But where does one
even begin to adequately

capture the magic
that is animated film?

I don't know, but that's why we're here.

So these are the
nominees for Best Animated.

And let's talk about it.

Let's talk about it.

Well, it's a long night.

That word, animation.

Like many words, it comes
from the mother tongue Latin.

Oh, my God.

It's rude, meaning.

To bestow a life.

Wayne, we just need to keep this moving.

Because you see that
exhausted just even at this scene.

Emily, is it?

Yes.

It's-- no, we're just wasting time.

I mean, really think about it.

It is a really wasting
time to say that

animation is a very
definition of film.

Arfully telling Sophia, thank you.

Oh, no, what?

See that?

Yeah.

Arfully, thank you guys.

Arfully telling sophisticated
narratives frame by frame.

That it's tied to the origin of cinema
itself and encompasses a whole array

of visual styles and
techniques as displayed

by, thank you, the
nominees this year.

That was very, very nice.

Thank you.

He's very, very nicely put.

And I'm going to give you that one.

Here are the nominees for
Best Animated Feature Film.

Yermold del Toro's Pinocchio.

Yermold del Toro, Mark Gustisson,
Gary Unger, and Alex Bullfree.

You must try your best, and
that's the best anybody can do.

Mark sell the show with shoes on.

He looks like she'll come.

He's at home.

Andrew Goldman, Caroline
Kaplan, in Paul, Miss A.

Sometimes people say
that my head is too big

for my body, and then I
say, "comparadot what?".

Plus in Boots, the last wish.

Joe Crawford and Mark Swift.

There may be if you dare.

The sea beast, Chris
Williams, and Jet Slanger.

You didn't stop me, don't you?

That's not the same thing.

Isn't it?

Turning red, Domi
Shoe, and Lindsey Collins.

I like Joe, I'm reading!

I'm 13, feel with it!

Okay.

And the Oscar goes to
Guillermo del Toro's Pinocchio.

[applause]

You get in the photo of First Saw
Walt Disney's Pinocchio as a child, and

Belcocchio is the first time somebody
captured how scary childhood could be.

[applause]

Wow. Thank you.

It's so good to know that this art form
that we love so much, stop motion is

very much alive and well.

I want to thank Shadow Machine
and the crew up in Portland.

I want to thank the Henson
Company and Lisa Henson.

I want to thank my beautiful
wife and Sebastian as well.

And this man who was
really the Genesis of

everything, including
my drinking problem.

[laughter]

Animation is cinema.

Animation is not a genre.

And animation is ready to
be taken to the next step.

We are all ready for it.

Please help us.

Keep animation in the conversation.

I would like to thank Netflix and
Datsarandos for sustaining his faith and

us to make this movie.

And I want to thank
this to my love of

my life, my wife Kim,
my kids, and my mom

and Bob, they're not here anymore.

But they are here with me
and I'm your son and I love you.

Thank you.

[applause]

highest grossing
movie of all time change.

The camera has now
directed $3 billion movies

or given his marital
history $3 billion movie.

We have a lot of history of the making
tonight including a man who could

become our oldest

acting winner ever, one of my favorites,
Judd Hirsch, Judd Terns, 88 years

old on Wednesday,
88 years old this week.

So we're going to do his category first.

Let's do it.

year's Actor

Supporting Role, Oscar

winners Troy Cotsler
and Ariana DeBose.

[applause]

[music]

We are thrilled to be back to present
The Oscars for Best Supporting Actor

and Supporting Actress.

Besides sharing groundbreaking
wins last year, we also share a love of.

collaborating with others
to connect with an audience.

We are both so pleased
and encouraged that

the movies and the
people who make them are

becoming more inclusive and more
of a reflection of the audiences that are

inspired by them.

[applause]

In many earliest
opportunities, my roles

were voiced by
other actors off stage.

Tonight, it doesn't matter
where the sound comes from.

This is me signing.

And I am delighted to honor these artists.

Though the characters they
played are not considered leads, their

contributions to a film and the
importance of their roles are pivotal.

Here are the nominees for Performance
by an Actor in a Supporting Role.

Brendan Gleason, The
Vanshees of an Assurance.

They have something to close last.

Music lasts, paintings
lasts, and poetry lasts.

Fifty years time, no one
would remember any of us.

[applause]

Brian Tyree Henry, Carzware.

Those are the cards, you know.

But yes, I'll never forget
how the cards were.

I remember looking at us,
it was like she said, but...

like...

See you later.

[applause]

You had to hurt a federal news.

So you like the movies, huh?

You love those people, huh?

Your sisters, your mother, your papa.

Exam, this side thing you love, olden.

Believe me, Sammy Boy, I get it.

Family, art.

Huh?

I'll tear you into.

[applause]

Barry Tyree, olden.

The Vanshees of an Assurance.

You know, what it was
what you asked you was.

You probably wouldn't ever want to.

I don't know.

I fell in love with a
boy like me, would you?

Yeah.

No.

I didn't think so.

Well, there goes that dream.

[applause]

Can you hear me, boy?

Everything everywhere else.

The good couple, there's a great
evil that has taken away in my world,

and it's the good experience, can
you ask me what the many versus...

All those years of searching
have brought me here.

Do you?

[applause]

And the Oscar goes to...

Can you hear me?

My... I just want an Oscar!

[applause]

My journey started on a boat.

I spent a year in a refugee camp,

and somehow I ended up here
on Hollywood's biggest stage.

[applause].

They say stories like this
only happen in the movies.

I cannot believe it's happening to me.

This... This is the
American Dream!

[applause]

Thank you so much.

Thank you so much for the
academy, for this honor of a lifetime.

Thank you to my mom for the

I owe everything to the love of my
life, my wife, Echo, who... [applause]

Who, month after month,
year after year for 20 years,

told me that one day,
one day, my time will come.

Dreams are something
you have to believe in.

I almost gave up on mine.

To all of you after, please
keep your dreams alive.

[applause]

Thank you.
Thank you so much for welcoming me back.

I love you. Thank you.
Thank you. Thank you.

[applause]

[applause].

Oh, my lord, I'm a big ol' softie.

emotionally searing performances.

Here are the nominees for Performance
by an Actress in a Supporting Role.

Angela Bassett, Black Panther of Canada.

I am Queen, but we have a
powerful mixture in the world.

And my entire family is gone.

Have I not given a freak thing?

[applause]

Haru Cha, away.

You listen to me. He doesn't need saving.

In a few days, he's
probably going to be dead.

So what he needs is for
you to leave him alone.

I'm the only one who can help him.
You understand me?

[applause]

Carrie, time to introduce
the band-cheers of Inisha.

Hey, what the hell's going
on with you, me brother?

You can't just all of a sudden
stop being friends with a fella.

Why can't I?

Why can't you? Because it isn't nice.

[applause]

Jamie Lee Curtis, everything ever on Earth.

Well, you may only see a
pile of born forms and numbers.

But I see a story, so I can trace
the ups and downs of your lives.

And it doesn't look good.

It does not look good.

[applause]

It's got the issue of
everything ever on Earth.

I'm tired.

I don't want to hurt
anymore, and for some reason

when I'm with you, it
just hurts the both of us.

Just let me go.

[applause]

And the Oscar
goes to... [applause]

Jamie Lee Curtis!

both nominated for Oscars in different

categories.

I just won an Oscar.

[applause]

Please welcome Hara Delevie.

[music]

To try and summarize the experiences
of all those who identify as women

in one movie would be impossible.

But the seven short films
helped by seven female directors

that make up tell it like a woman,
demonstrate how important it is

for individuals to control
their own narratives.

When we get to tell our
own stories, we can thrive.

Here performing applause

[applause]

[music]

[applause]

Welcome back to The
Oscars with six nominations,

and the next nominee
for Best Picture is TAR.

She is one of the most important
musical figures of our time, Lydia Tarte.

What is it?

We have a problem.

I don't honestly believe
what they're saying.

I'm worried.

She's starting to disappear into herself.

Beautiful.

[applause]

That is TAR.

Kate Blanchett is nominated
for the eighth time tonight.

She's incredible as she always is,
and the movie is absolutely masterful.

Let me see only one movie this
year that starts with the main character

being interviewed for 15 minutes by
New Yorker, staff writer Adam Gopnik.

Make it TAR.

You'll be glad you did.

Our next category is documentary
feature, which as you may recall is where

we had that little
skirmish last year.

Hopefully this time it goes off
without a hitch, or at least without hitch.

Please put your
hands together and then

keep them to yourself
for Oscar winners, Riz

Ahmed, and Amir Questlove Thompson.

[applause]

You know how to say
truth is stranger than fiction.

Well, this here is nominees for Best
documentary, told stories that you

really could not make up.

With emotional ruinous, the most
fiction can only really aspire to and be

inspired by it.

And you know what I mean?

I've got to say, I love
your documentary last year.

This here is nominees.

Yeah.

Thank you.

I love you.

Thank you.

I'm also special about it was like
a lot of these nominees, it's told an

amazing untold story.

Thank you, man.

We're making a documentary
using never-before-seen footage.

It gives new life a new meaning.

And it's just one of the techniques
used by these documentarians.

And the other is used as archival
photographs or an innovative ways or spent

years following their subjects,
both animal and human.

Right.

But no matter what the approach these
filmmakers captured, these universal

truths through

such unique stories,
whether it was about

orphanages or political
dissidents, injured birds,

groundbreaking artists, and
even volcano chasing lovers.

And what brought these stories to
the life on screen are these filmmakers

unique lenses
and points of view.

So here are the nominees for
Best documentary feature film.

All the breeds, Sean Xen,

A pair of love, Sarah Dosa,
Shane Boris, and Eina Fichman.

A house made of splinters, Simon
Lorraine Wuhmont, and Monica Hostrom.

The story of the film
is a very difficult story.

The story of the film is a great story.

It's a very difficult story.

It's a very difficult story.

It's a very difficult story.

It's a very difficult story.

It's a very difficult story.

It's a very difficult story.

It's a very difficult story.

It's a very difficult story.

And the Oscar goes too.

Now, Vowni.

Daniel Royal, Desser Ray, Diane
Becker, Melanie Miller, and Shane Boris.

Director Daniel War and his team
filmed a vaccine of all enable he was in

hiding from the Russian government
at a remote location in Germany.

[APPLAUSE]

Thank you to the Academy.

We are humbled to be in the
company of such an extraordinary crop of

documentary filmmakers.

These films redefine what it
is to be a make a documentary.

To everyone who helped make our film,
you know who you are, your bravery and

courage, made
this film possible.

We owe so much to our Bulgarian
nerd with a laptop, Crystal Grozev.

[APPLAUSE]

Crystal, you risk everything to
tell this story and its investigative

journalist like you and
Maria Pebchick that

empower our work
to the Navalny family.

Yulia, Dasha, and Zahar.

Thank you for your courage.

The world is with you.

And there's one person who
couldn't be with us here tonight.

Alexei Navalny, the leader of the
Russian opposition, remains in solitary

confinement for what he calls.

I want to make sure we
get his words exactly right.

Vladimir Putin's unjust war
of aggression in Ukraine.

I would like to dedicate this award
to Navalny to all political prisoners

around the world.

Alexei, the world has not forgotten
your vital message to us all.

We cannot, we must
not be afraid to oppose

dictators and
authoritarianism wherever it

rears its head.

I want to invite Yulia to
say a few quick remarks.

Yulia.

[APPLAUSE]

Thank you.

So, how's it going?

Daniel, and thank you to everybody here.

My husband is in prison
just for turning the truth.

My husband is in prison
just for defending democracy.

Alexei, I am dreaming
the day when you

will be free and our
country will be free.

Stay strong, my love.

Thank you.

[APPLAUSE]

What's the motion we hear?

Yeah, it is.

Well, most of the film and video
we watch these days is short form.

And these next
nominees are pushing the

possibilities of that
medium to its fullest.

If feature films are
like novels, short films

are like poetry,
got to distill all that

emotion, suspense and impact
right down to a fraction of the length.

Here are the nominees for
Best Live Action in short film.

And Iris Goodbye, Tom
Barkley, and Ross White.

And he goes to an Irish goodbye,
Tom Barkley and Ross White.

Tom Barkley, voice Prince Harry's
thoughts in a TV documentary.

Ross White hails from Belfast, the
filming location of an Irish goodbye.

[APPLAUSE]

There we may.

Thank you so much to the academy
for this incredible, incredible honor.

Thank you to our fellow nominees,
all the nominees for your work.

It inspires us so very, very much.

Thank you to everybody
back home in Northern

Ireland who helped
us make this film.

We wish we had the time to list you
all here, but you know who you are.

There's something very important
we'd like to speak about as well.

This award is actually the second
most important thing about today because

it's this man's birthday.

[APPLAUSE]

He's out here in Hollywood,
wearing a leopard print suit jacket.

We love to use the rest of our
time up here to sing for James.

Happy birthday to you.

Happy birthday to you.

Happy birthday, James.

Happy birthday to you.

[APPLAUSE]

[MUSIC PLAYING]

[APPLAUSE]

Welcome back to the Dolby
Theatre, nominated for nine Oscars.

This is all quiet on the Western Front.

[APPLAUSE]

[MUSIC PLAYING]

[APPLAUSE]

[MUSIC PLAYING]

[MUSIC PLAYING]

[MUSIC PLAYING]

[APPLAUSE]

[MUSIC PLAYING]

[APPLAUSE]

And now, Michael B.
Jordan and Jonathan Majors.

[MUSIC PLAYING]

Hey, Aunty.

We love you.

[MUSIC PLAYING]

A question.

A question from my director.

Ready?

Let's do it.

How do you make a character of
massive, imposing, and dominating?

Oh.

Well, first of all, we cast you.

[LAUGHTER]

That's a great answer, Michael.

Thank you.

Thank you.

Second, give the
cinematographer the

space to put the
camera low, pointing up,

and spiky, and his legendary
cinematographer, Ernest Dickerson,

did with Malcolm X,
as you can see here,

with their signature,
double-Dolly shot.

Cinematographers find
new ways to push the

limits of film and
storytelling each year.

Back in the day, director Orson
Wells and his cinematographer,

Greg Tolin, had
to be innovative,

because they were
using a camera like this.

Oh, that's a beast.

[LAUGHTER]

Yeah?

I mean, that was before cell phones.

So they actually cut a hole in the
floor and physically lowered the camera.

OK.

That's what I call a workout and a flex.

It's pretty big flex.

But the result was this shot.

Sometimes the simplest
solutions are the most creative.

In fact, creative vision is a trait
shared by the next outstanding artist,

here at a nominee who's for
achievement and cinematographer.

[APPLAUSE]

Hello, quiet on the western front.

James Frand.

[MUSIC PLAYING]

Gardo, false chronicle
of a handful of truths.

Darius, Kanji.

Elvis, Mandy Walker.

[MUSIC PLAYING]

Empire of light, Roger Deacons.

Tor, Glorian Hofmeister.

[MUSIC PLAYING].

[APPLAUSE]

OK.

And the Oscar goes too.

All quiet on the western front.

James Frand.

James Frand.

[APPLAUSE]

James Frand studied electro-technical
engineering and got his first chance

to work on sets as an electrician.

An advocate of mentorship in the industry.

He has inspired to become a
filmmaker at 13 when he first saw Alien.

[APPLAUSE]

It's not my birthday.

[LAUGHTER]

But I feel like it is.

I mean, what an honor.

Academy, thank you so much.

Thank you for everything.

And my fellow nominees, your work
is just outstanding and inspires me.

And just thank you for everything my
entire crew who made this happen for me

and made me look better than I am.

And my darling, my dad, when I was--

said I want to run off to the circus,
John D'Sercus of the film industry.

They believed in me and thank you.

And my beautiful wife and cargy.

My brother and my sister who just pushed
me and pushed me and pushed me and

and Edward Berger
and my-- [APPLAUSE]

Just thank you so much.

I'm sorry if I've missed
anyone out, but thank you.

From the bottom of my
heart, thank you so much.

Thank you so much.

[APPLAUSE]

[MUSIC PLAYING]

Please welcome, Donnie Yen.

[MUSIC PLAYING]

[APPLAUSE]

As an action filmmaker who has
choreographed and performed in countless

feistings in 80 movies,
I know you should

always be prepared
for whatever twist and

turns. Come your way.

One minute, you're fine.

The next, your fingers are heart dogs.

[LAUGHTER]

Every day we confront
it with new choices

and it's hard to
know which path you

should follow.

This next song reminds us that you
don't need to know how to verse jump or

experience the entire multiverse at once.

You just need to enjoy the ride.

It'll perform this is a life from
everything everywhere all at once.

Please welcome Sun
Lock, Stephanie Xu,

and Academy Award
winner, David Byrne.

[APPLAUSE]

[MUSIC PLAYING]

This is a life every
possibleity from

best and I choose you
and you choose me.

Not only would we serve with
space, but every time you choose.

[MUSIC PLAYING]

This is a life that could have
been from the internal for eternity.

Not only hands and toes,
not only what we've known

but now we've been in a time's life.

[MUSIC PLAYING]

This is a life that could
have been from the world.

We're somewhere
across the world from

my windowsill with
a weight of eternity.

At the speed of light, this is a life.

[MUSIC PLAYING]

Coming up, Margot Robbie and
Morgan Freeman later, Julia Louis-Dreyfus

Paul Dayno with the
award for costume

design to meet our
nominated designers,

scan the QR code on your screen.

[MUSIC PLAYING]

We're back with two nominations.

Our next nominee for Best
Picture is Women Talking.

[MUSIC PLAYING]

We were given two days to forgive
the attackers before they returned.

If we did not forgive them, we
would be ordered to leave the colony.

We must decide now
to stay in fight or leave.

This is how we want to teach our
daughters to defend themselves.

When we've liberated ourselves, we
don't have to ask ourselves who we are.

[MUSIC PLAYING]

[MUSIC PLAYING]

Here are Oscar winner Jennifer Connolly
and honorary Oscar winner Samuel L.

Jackson.

[MUSIC PLAYING]

[APPLAUSE]

As we've seen tonight, every artistic
contribution is vital to the process

of making a movie.

As actors, we work very closely
with hair and makeup teams.

They are friends.

They are therapists.

In fact, Jennifer and I have had
the pleasure of being personally

transformed by several of the nominees.

But we wish them all good luck,
even the ones we haven't worked with,

because we may end up in your chairs too.

[LAUGHTER]

The astonishing work that these artists
have accomplished this year display

their profound skill
and technical expertise.

These films wouldn't be
the same without them.

And we can thank
these gifted collaborators

for always helping
us look the part.

Here are the nominees for
achievement in makeup and hair styling.

All quiet on the Western Front.

[APPLAUSE]

I can Merca and Linda Eisen-Homerva.

The Batman, Naomi Don,
Mike Marino, and Mike Fontaine.

Black Panther, Wakanda forever,

Elvis, Mark, Kool-yer, Jason
Baird, and Eldo Senior ready.

Chin, and Ann Marie Bradfield.

[APPLAUSE].

And the Oscar goes to you.

The whale.

[APPLAUSE]

The team transformed Brendan Fraser
into the whale through the first time

means of all digital prosthetic
makeup for a major feature.

This pushed Fraser's weight into the
severest extreme without covering his

face, and allowing for his
emotional range of expression.

[APPLAUSE]

Thank you so much.

[LAUGHTER]

I would like to thank the amazing
makeup artists that worked with us to

create the character of Charlie.

So Kathy C. Chris Galler, her Michelle
Bougie in the shop, the entire makeup

team, our director, Darren
Arunowski, pushed us to new heights.

Thank you.

Our amazing actor,
Brendan Fraser, over there.

[APPLAUSE]

Thank you.

Thank you.

Our producer, the studio,

Thank you so much.

[APPLAUSE]

Thank you, Darren.

[MUSIC PLAYING]

[APPLAUSE]

[MUSIC PLAYING]

[APPLAUSE]

Welcome back to the Oscars with
nine nominations, including Best Picture.

This is the Banchis of Inna Sharon.

My daughter's volunteer.

I just don't like Inna more.

I think I need to spend
the time I've left composing.

No one will remember any of us.

Everyone knows more times, name.

I don't.

So there goes that theory.

I don't know what you mean, brother.

He's Donald Shavan.

But he's always been done.

You used to be nice.

And now, to know what you are.

Not nice.

That one we have seen now, would have.

Some things there's no more of an animal.

And I think that's a good thing.

[APPLAUSE]

It's a Jenny.

She is one of the stars
of Banchis of Inna Sharon.

[APPLAUSE]

Oh, I'm Jenny.

Not only is Jenny an actor, she's a
certified emotional support donkey.

At least that's what
we told the airline

to get her on the
plane from Ireland.

So if you're feeling upset or that you
win or you're anxious or maybe you

just love mules, feel free to
come up and give her a hug.

And Jenny, I want to see.

There's your friend Colin right there.

And there's your friend,
Randon, who's finger you a.

You want to say thank you?

Thank you.

All right.

Let's get you back on that
spirit airlines flight now, huh?

Next with the award for costume
design, please welcome Steven Spielberg's

father and Jonah Hills mom, Paul
Dano and Julie Louis-Dreyfuss.

[APPLAUSE]

[MUSIC PLAYING]

I would just like to begin by saying
thank you to the Academy because for

those that do not know,

every year the Oscar for costume
design is presented by the most stylish and

fashion forward
actors in Hollywood.

And Paul Dano.

[LAUGHTER]

Being nominated for
an Oscar is the second

greatest honor a costume
designer can receive.

The greatest honor is when an
actor accidentally takes their beautifully

designed costume home with them.

Seeing these exquisite designs
up close, you know exactly why their

designers are nominated

tonight and exactly
why they might end

up hitting an actor's
car trunk or gym bag.

And by the way, Julia, that is a
gorgeous dress you're wearing.

Oh, thank you so much.

It's from National Lampoon's
Christmas Vacation 1989.

Here are the nominees for
Achievement in Costume Design.

Babylon, costume designed by Mary's Office.

Black Panther Wakanda Forever,

[APPLAUSE].

And the Oscar goes to Black
Panther Wakanda Forever, Ruth Carter.

[APPLAUSE]

Ruth Carter's first job in film was
designing costumes for Spike Lee's 1988

film, School Days.

Ruth Carter utilized 3D of printing
technology to create a crown and neckies

for Queen Ramonda in Black
Panther Wakanda Forever.

[APPLAUSE]

Oh, man.

[APPLAUSE]

Beautiful work.

Wow.

[APPLAUSE]

Wow.

Nice.

Nice to see you again.

Thank you to the
Academy for recognizing

the superhero that
is a black woman.

[APPLAUSE]

She indoors, she loves, she overcomes.

She is every woman in this film.

She is my mother.

This past week, Mabel
Carter became an ancestor.

This film prepared me for this moment.

Chadwick, please take care of mom.

Ryan Coogler, Nate Moore,
thank you both for your vision.

Together, we are reshaping
how culture is represented.

[APPLAUSE]

The Marvel family, Kevin Feige,
Victoria Alonso, Louis D. Esposito, and

their arsenal of genius.

Thank you.

I share this with many dedicated
artists whose hands and hearts helped

manifest the costumes
of Wakanda and Tolicon.

This is for my mother, she was 100 in one.

[APPLAUSE]

[MUSIC PLAYING]

Please welcome Deepika Padukov.

[MUSIC PLAYING]

An irresistibly catchy
chorus, electrifying

beats, and killer
dance moves to match,

have made this next
song a global sensation.

[APPLAUSE]

It plays during a pivotal
scene in "R-R" a movie.

[APPLAUSE]

A movie about the friendship
between real-life Indian revolutionaries,

Alurisitara Maharaju, and Comarambim.

In addition to being
sung in Telugu and

illustrating the film's
anti-colonialist themes,

it's also a total banger.

[LAUGHTER]

It's on millions of views on YouTube
and TikTok, has audiences dancing in

movie theaters all
around the world, and

is also the first song
ever from an Indian

production to be
nominated for an Oscar.

[APPLAUSE]

Do you know not to?

Because if you don't, you're about to.

[APPLAUSE]

From the film, "R-R" this is "NATO NATO."

I just need to get 30 seconds of room tone.

[LAUGHTER]

[APPLAUSE]

We good?

OK, good.

It's not just about the actors.

Sometimes we like to do jokes
for the technical categories.

And that was a little
something for the audio team.

Thanks for all the warm
hands and microphones, guys.

[APPLAUSE]

And by the way, I know we lost an hour

because of daylight saving time, but I
spoke to the producers and good news.

We've added that hour into the telecast.

[LAUGHTER]

Please welcome Eva Longoria and the
president of the Academy Janet Yang.

[APPLAUSE]

[MUSIC PLAYING]

Hello, everyone.

proud to lead the Academy,

But the Academy works

The Academy Museum of Motion Pictures.

that illuminate the vast world of cinema.

You'll learn about

in ways that no
museum has done before.

[APPLAUSE]

Here at the Academy
Museum of Motion Pictures,

we tell the diverse and
inspiring stories of cinema.

We create immersive
exhibitions like The Godfather

who celebrates the
collaborative process

of making this
unforgettable masterpiece.

We showcase how filmmakers
have invented worlds and characters

through animation,
costume design, and more.

We bring iconic props
back to life, from Sam's piano

in Casablanca to Bruce O'Shark from Jaws.

We bring important film histories to light,

from the Jewish immigrants who
founded the Hollywood Studios

to the early innovators of
African-American cinema.

We celebrate global cinema and
inspire the next generations of filmmakers.

And of course, we offer an
app close look at the Oscars,

screenings of classic films,

Movie lovers from around

ultimately, to be told a good story.

We want to see compelling
characters go through the dynamic range

of human experiences, running

I love.

The nominees in the

non-English language film

both international feature

At least, everyone.

Thank you.

God, this means so much to us.

So I met so many
new friends on this

movie, my cinematographer,
James Friend,

who's won an Academy Award.

My costume designer,
Lizzie Krissel, my

production designer,
Christian Goldbeck,

my hair and makeup designer, High-Comerica.

And I owe everything to you.

I owe everything to you
in the rest of my crew.

But the other day, I
walked into a brunch here.

And I met another
cinematographer, James Donton.

It's about another movie.

And it was Florian
Hoffmeister, who was

also nominated for an
Academy Award for TAR.

And we held each other.

We're from the same town.

We held each other.

And for 30 years, we made
our first movie together.

I was his assistant.

And we held each other.

And for 30 years, it felt
like there was an embrace

of all the hard work that went into this.

And it's just deeply moving for all of us.

Thank you, Netflix, for supporting us.

Thank you to my wife and my kids.

Thank you, Ted Serandos,
Sasha Builla, Scott Stuber,

and David Cauci for making our movie.

Thank you, Martin Todruna,
these two wonderful actors.

[APPLAUSE]

My producer, Daniel
Bruel, and Albrechture,

the actors, and
especially Felix Kamaran.

[APPLAUSE]

This was your first movie.

This was your first movie.

And you carried on us on your
shoulders as if it was nothing.

Without you, none of us would be here.

Thank you, Felix.

[APPLAUSE]

Coming up, Pedro
Pascal in Elizabeth

Olsen, and later, Mindy

Score, who John Williams

may Oscar history tonight to meet our
nominated composers, scan the QR code.

[MUSIC PLAYING]

[APPLAUSE]

Welcome back to the
Oscars at the Dolby Theatre,

with seven nominations
tonight, including Best Picture.

This is the Fablemans.

[APPLAUSE]

And this family is the
scientists versus the artists.

Shouldn't you be filming this?

$100 for a hobby.

Can you stop calling it a hobby?

You always dismiss what he does.

It's playful or imaginative.

You stop making movies.

It'll break your mother's heart.

You do what your heart says you have
to, so you don't owe anyone your life.

[APPLAUSE]

Well, we are at the Oscars.

We have many more awards to go.

How are you guys holding up?

Everybody OK?

[APPLAUSE]

Yeah, hang in in there.

I put food under your seats.

I don't know if you noticed
it, but-- [APPLAUSE]

This point in the show kind of makes
you miss the slapping a little, right?

[LAUGHTER]

Three of the eight categories
that are making this show

longer tonight are for shorts, ironically.

Here with the Oscars for
documentary and animated shorts,

Elizabeth Olsen, and a guy most of America

is watching on either HBO or
Disney+ right now, Pedro Pascal.

[APPLAUSE]

[MUSIC PLAYING]

Rather than shy away from a challenge,

the filmmakers in these next
categories have embraced it.

Presenting stories in a limited time frame.

But these limits had no
effect on the types of stories

they could tell or the
depths they could explore.

Here are the nominees for
Best Documentary Short Film.

The elephant whispers, "Cartic
even saw this and unique manga."

"Paul out, Evgenia Arpugayova
and Maxim Arpugayov."

How do you measure a year?

J. Rosenblatt.

"M I'm a master her.

Measure a year."

The Martha Mitchell effect, and
over again, and Beth Levison.

Stranger at the gate, Joshua
Saphtel and Connell Jones.

And the Oscar goes to
the elephant whispers,

"Cartic even saw this
and we need manga."

[APPLAUSE]

The great manga was
amongst the first producers

from India to be inducted into the academy.

"Cartic even saw this as
warp travels extensively

to capture visuals that
will raise awareness

about cultures, animals,
and the environment."

[MUSIC PLAYING].

I stand here today to speak
for the sacred bond between us

and our natural world, for the
respect of indigenous communities,

an empathy towards other living
beings we share our space with,

and finally, for coexistence.

Thank you to the academy
for recognizing our film,

highlighting indigenous
people, and animals,

to Netflix for believing
in the power of this film,

to Bowman, Belly, and for
sharing their sacred tribal wisdom.

To gunit my producer,
and secure to Douglas

Blush, my mentor,
and my entire team,

and finally, to my
mother, father, and sister,

who are up there somewhere, and
you are the center of my universe,

to my motherland India.

[APPLAUSE]

[MUSIC PLAYING]

[APPLAUSE]

These next nominees
used animation to

make the most of their
limited screen time,

employing a variety of
visual styles and techniques

to carry out a story in 40 minutes or less.

In just 24 minutes, one
nominee even managed

to fit in an entire
year's worth of--.

[LAUGHTER]

What?

What, what, what, what, what, what?

Boy, you'll find out when you watch this.

Oh, how thrilling.

Here are the nominees for
Best Animated Short Film.

The boy, the mole, the
fox, and the horse, Charlie

Maccassy and
Matthew Freud, the flying

sailor, Amanda Forbus
and Wendy Tilby.

Ice merchants, Joao
Rosalesh and Bruno Capella.

My year of dicks, Sara
Guna-Stalker, and Pamela Rivet.

And ostrich told me the world
is fake, and I think I believe it.

Walklyn Pendragon.

And the Oscar goes to the boy,
the mole, the fox, and the horse,

Charlie, Maccassy, and Matthew Freud.

The animation team behind
the boy, the mole, the fox,

and the horse, worked
remotely throughout COVID

to create a look that
closely resembled the ink

and watercolor illustrations from
the book on which it was based.

[MUSIC PLAYING]

We've never made a film before,
so this is bewildering beyond.

And I know the protocol is to
say thank you a lot, but I'm British.

So I'm more comfortable saying sorry.

[LAUGHTER]

So I'm really sorry to all the people
who should be on this stage with us.

We had an extraordinary
team with Cara-Sbella and Peter

Bainton, JJ, and Hannah, and his own John,

and our amazing cast
and over 100 animators.

I'm also really sorry to my
children and my girlfriend

and my colleagues at
Freud's for basically being

absent for the last two
years as this film took flight.

But this statue is for the dog,
Vincent, and the boy, Charlie.

[APPLAUSE]

And hello.

I'm sorry.

I'll be brief.

It's a recurring theme, the apology.

I was in my village very recently,
and a lady came up to me.

and said, I hear you're
going to ask a thing.

And I said, yeah.

And I said, I think I'll need help.

I'm going to my clothes.

And she said, you will.

And it's a recurring theme
with clothing in myself.

And she then said, as a
long pause, and she said,

you know Charlie, I think it
takes a lot of courage to make fun.

And I think when you go
there, there'll be a lot of very,

brave people in the same room.

And I looked, I said,
yeah, I think you're right.

And it's really true.

And the people that I've worked
with, they've tolerated me for two years.

And they're brave and kind.

And thank you so much.

And thank you to my mom and my family,

and my dog who I've left
behind who's in a hotel.

I hate to say that kind of a search.

[LAUGHTER]

I wasn't really meant to say that.

Anyway, thank you so, so much for this.

And thank you.

[APPLAUSE]

I wrote this song with my friend, Bloodpop,

for the film Top Gun Maverick
and my studio basement.

It's deeply personal for me.

And I think that we all need each other.

We need a lot of love
to walk through this life.

And we all need a hero sometimes.

There's heroes all around
us in unassuming places.

But you might find
that you can be your

own hero, even if
you feel broken inside.

The success of a lot to recruit
depends on two moments.

The first hours, and the last
day, the guest are on board.

Everybody let's keep calm.

You're swimming in a bun
and it's not about the money.

It's not about the money.

The rest of the world
is grounding in misery.

That's not the way it's going to be.

But I know you have a good
heart in there somewhere.

Everyone's equal.

(laughs).

(bell dings)

Lovely to be here.

We're actually here to do two things.

The first is Theresa Wannis,

but the vital importance
of using a good moisturizer.

(audience laughing)

Andy's been wearing one
every day for the last 29 years.

I've never used one in my life.

(audience laughing)

Still stunning.

Basically a scrotum.

(audience laughing)

The second, the second is to celebrate
the role of the production designer

in the making of a great movie.

What are you doing?

And when I started this,

I was told an earnest scene,

"Don't ever forget, you
only as good as your team."

So this is to all the
hardworking people who work,

and all the teams
that helped me to get

on this stage and
academy and everybody,

thank you so much.

This is so, I'm so honored.

Thank you.

(audience cheers)

(upbeat music)

(audience cheers)

Please welcome John Cho and Mindy Kayling.

(upbeat music)

The musical score of a motion picture
can invoke a multitude of feelings,

the fear of unseen
danger, (bell dings).

the excitement of death-defying action.

(dramatic music)

The hell-know when Lydia
Tarse is a replacement conductor.

(dramatic music)

The terror of
mispronouncing the banchees

of Inishairan on
national television.

(dramatic music)

And the horror of a movie star,
the horror of a movie starting

and realizing that I
left my phone in the car.

Yeah, yikes.

(dramatic music)

I've been there.

Here are the nominees
for Best Original Score.

All quiet on the Western Front.

I fall care bare for mine.

(audience applauds)

(dramatic music)

(audience applauds)

(dramatic music)

(audience applauds)

Both of them were discovered
piano at the age of nine

and formed his first rock band at 14.

While in school, he
began studying medicine

and then switched to
business economics.

(audience applauds).

(audience applauds)

(audience applauds)

Well, thank you so much.

Thanks to the Academy
for this huge recognition.

When I was working
on the film, I was

thinking a couple
of times off my mind.

Because she was telling
me every now and then,

when you wanna change
humanity and empathy in the world,

you have to start by yourself
and with your own surroundings.

Because you learn by
that and you can show

actually where we
all can live together.

So, by working on a film like that,

you always are deeply touched
and sometimes you have to make this

screen very small because there
are so much explosions happening.

(audience laughs).

I wanna say thank you to my
wife Elizabeth and my kids up there,

Lottepolina and Lucas,

to Malte Gruenert and
Edward Beggar and the whole

cast and crew for their
amazing craftsmanship.

To Netflix for their huge support
and to my fellow nominees,

Carter, John, Justin, Sun Lux,

that I can be a part of such a unique human

and diverse group of talented
composers that's for me a big gift.

And last but not least, I wanna thank
all of you for this wonderful evening.

Thank you so much.

(audience cheers)

Hi, I'm Bill Kramer, CEO of the Academy
of Motion Picture Arts and Sciences.

Throughout the year, the
Academy recognizes and celebrates

all aspects of the
film industry and the

diverse, talented
people who make movies.

Academy announced the 14

winners of the 49th
Student Academy Awards.

Gala, Mickey Lee, Steve McQueen,

Joya Roberts and Tilda Swinton were honored

for their powerful work
and commitment to cinema.

At November's Governors Awards,

the Academy presented
honorary Oscars to use on policy,

Diane Warren and Peter Weir and
the Gene Herschelt Humanitarian Award

Academy's side tech awards,

14 recipients received
technical achievement awards.

Scientific and engineering awards
were presented to four recipients.

[music]

[applause]

[music]

The Oscars are back with eight
nominations, including Best Picture.

This is Elvis.

[music]

The way he's saying, "It's God-getting."

Sort of can't be nothing wrong with it.

[music]

He's thinking, "It's
your dream, it can do it."

He's gotta be making a
more such thing like him.

This color will be over the flash.

[music]

There's a lot of people
saying a lot of things.

But in the end, you
gotta listen to yourself.

[music]

[music]

[music]

And now, please welcome Elizabeth Banks.

[music]

[music]

Hit the Mark.

Thank you.

Oh my God.

He tripped me.

I recently directed the
film "Co-Cane Bear."

[applause]

And without visual effects, this
is what the bear would look like.

[laughter]

It's terrifying.

Stop it.

No director wants to deal with this.

Okay.

What are you doing?

Stop it.

Stop.

Put your paw down.

Why are you trying to score right now?

You need to wait till the
after party like everybody else.

The Coke is not real.

It's visual effects.

Right?

It's all of it.

Why are you dragging,
squirting leave her into this?

Do not drag legend.

She doesn't know.

What?

The Navi are not real.

It's visual effects.

I have a Tars visual effects.

Is this all quiet on the western front?

Okay.

That's visual effects.

It was a real war, but real visual effects.

Batman flying around.

It's not real.

Tom Cruise flying around is real.

[laughter]

But also visual effects.

Wakanda.

Wakanda is totally real.

[applause]

It's all about visual effects.

Can enhance any visual effects.

Can enhance any story in our
incredible tool for filmmakers like me.

And without visual effects, Coke and
Bear would have been some actor in a

parachute probably on Coke.

[laughter]

Huh, here are the nominees
for Achievement in Visual Effects.

Get out.

All quiet on the western front.

Frank Petzel.

Victor Miller.

Makus Front.

And Camille Jafar.

Avatar.

The Way of Water.

Joe Lateri.

Richard Bainon.

Eric Sainon.

And Daniel Barrett.

The Batman.

Dan Lemon.

Russell Earl.

Anders Langlands.

And Dominic Tui.

Black Panther Wakanda Forever.

Jeffrey Bauman.

And Scott R. Fisher.

And the Oscar goes to.

Avatar The Way of Water.

Joe Lateri.

And Daniel Barrett.

For all the Navi and Recost, the
designers incorporated elements of the

actors into the characters'

designs to help translate their
performances and bring them to life.

[CHEERING]

Go to me, Lamaha Gutt.

To James Cameron, our Jim Cameron, whose

an artistic component is
on every frame of this movie.

Honestly, and John Landell, who
is the engine who drove us forward.

We accept these awards on
behalf of a very, very large crew.

We'd like to thank the lab in
LA, the lab on the stage crew.

It both LA and New Zealand.

What are the effects?

The two tales and strong, it's in ways.

We're the team, the production team,
Joe, the artists, and army of artists.

And the amazingly talented
supervisors that we have are the effects.

Style on the shoulders of our actors.

Our performances are everything.

And we need to thank our families.

[MUSIC PLAYING]

Oh, that is unfortunate.

I happen to know before he
was cut off the Avatar visual team,

asked me to announce
that if anyone's interested,

the visual effects after
party is at CGI Fridays.

[LAUGHTER].

They tricked me again.

All right, now we're going to do
something I don't think has ever been done

at the Oscars.

While we reset the stage for
a very special performance,

we invited viewers watching from all
over to send questions for the stars.

And now I'm going to ask some of
the stars, some of the questions that the

viewers sent in, starting
with Malala, who is here.

Malala, welcome.

Thank you so much.

Great to have you here.

And congratulations on your movie.

This question is from Joanne
Nicholas and Brooklyn, New York.

She asks, "Your work on human rights
and education for women and children is

an inspiration."

As the youngest Nobel prize
winner in history, I was wondering,

"Do you think Harry
Styles spent on Chris Pine?"

I only talk about peace.

That's, you know what? That's
why you're Malala and nobody else is.

[APPLAUSE]

That's a great answer, Malala.

The winner is Malala Land, everybody.

And the next question is from Joey
Parello from Las Vegas for Colin Ferrell.

Haven't seen Joey in years.

Well, Joey would like to ask you.
He said, " Colin, I loved your performance

in the band cheese of industry.

And my question is, what
were you saying in the movie?".

[LAUGHTER]

I'd like him to go on
YouTube and check out

SNL last night and
he'll have a good idea.

And now we'll figure it out.

All right. Thank you very much.
And I apologize for Joey.

If you and the donkey
go out after text me, okay?

Look at this, creepy, throckie.
Again, congratulations.

Next question is for, oh, Jessica Chastain.

Where is she at? Jessica, hi, Jessica.

There's no name on this one.
It says, "Jessica, was it difficult filming

your movie, the Martian?

Because your co-star Matt Damon
can't read and smells like dog medicine.".

[LAUGHTER].

I didn't really have a lot of
scenes with them, so it was fun.

Excellent. Wonderful. All right.

Another fun fact. Oh, they feed Matt
Damon peanut butter on set to make it

look like he's talking.

That's... Cocaine Bear
leave, Malala alone. Come on.

All right.
We got to get this guy out of here.

Please say hello from
Black Panther, Deny Gherira.

[APPLAUSE]

[MUSIC]

Lupid Gorenson, Ryan
Coogler, Thames, and Rihanna.

Rode Ballad that
speaks from the heart

as a tribute to the late
Chadwick Boseman.

[APPLAUSE]

Chadwick's powerful artistry, his
magnetism, and incomparable humanity left

an indelible Mark on our hearts.

Chadwick and Baudy, the Wakandan
king, T'Challa, the one chosen to uplift,

to protect, to keep us safe.

His legacy will live on
for future generations.

And as we say in Wakanda, we call C.
Coomka.

Thank you.

King.

[APPLAUSE]

Nominated tonight for original song,

performing Lift Me Up,
Royalty in her own right.

[APPLAUSE]

Rihanna.

[APPLAUSE]

[MUSIC]

Give me up.

Oh, and don't.

Keep me close.

Stay, let's go.

[MUSIC]

Keep me in the warm, loving,
loving day for keeping safe.

Stay, let's go.

There we are.

Oh, and don't.

Keep me in the warm, loving
day for future generations.

Keep me in the warm, loving
day for future generations.

Keep me in the warm, loving
day for future generations.

Keep me in the warm, loving
day for future generations.

Keep me in the warm, loving
day for future generations.

Keep me in the warm, loving
day for future generations.

Keep me in the warm, loving
day for future generations.

Keep me in the warm, loving
day for future generations.

Keep me in the warm, loving
day for future generations.

Keep me in the warm, loving
day for future generations.

Keep me in the warm, loving
day for future generations.

[MUSIC]

[APPLAUSE]

Coming up, Andrew Garfield and Florence
Pugh present the Oscars for original

and adapted screenplays.

Later, Hallie Berry and Harris and Ford.

To hear from the sound
nominees, scan the QR code.

[MUSIC]

We're back with our next Best Picture
nominee nominated for 11 Oscars with

two wins so far tonight.

This is everything everywhere Hallad once.

I do have a lot of free rejection.

Every disappointment
has led you to this moment.

[MUSIC]

[LAUGH]

[MUSIC].

[APPLAUSE]

We are back at the Oscars.

As you can see, I've changed from a
black tuxedo jacket into a white jacket

that we've reached the point in the
broadcast where I spilled bakamole on

the black jacket.

[LAUGH]

Everything everywhere Hallad once
is the most nominated film of the year.

[APPLAUSE]

And I want to mention, let's go.

It's great stars, the
one and only 94 year

old James Hong
who's sitting right here.

[APPLAUSE]

James is a legend.

James has been in more
than 650 movies and TV shows.

He didn't even start acting
professionally until he was 25 years old.

Before that, he was a civil engineer
who helped design the road system here

in Los Angeles.

And James, let me say you were one
of our great living actors and one of our

worst civil engineers.

[LAUGH]

The roads are unconscionable.

Where we salute you, James.

Our next two categories honor the
lonely nerds who spend day after day in

front of a computer screen.

They're called writers.

And some of them are about to get an
Oscar, which is going to crush on their

Tinder profiles.

Please welcome Oscar nominees,
Florence, Pew and Andrew Garfield.

[APPLAUSE]

[MUSIC]

So the best screenplays to read
are just as alive as the films that they

eventually become.

But before the words can flow,
writers need that creative spark.

Ruben Erselin said he wanted
to create a roller coaster.

Yeah.

I agree.

I fully agree.

He wanted to create a roller coaster
ride for adults with his take on the

uber wealthy.

Tony Kushner, collaborated with
Steven Spielberg remotely during the

pandemic after years of convincing
him to tell his personal story.

But Daniel Kwan and Daniel Shynert,
their screenplay came into focus with

the phrase, "Let's put
my mom in the matrix."

[LAUGH]

Let's see.

Martin McDonough wanted to
explore the experience, but break up.

So imagine two buddies at
the end of their friendship.

And Todd Field wanted to examine
the nuances of modern power dynamics,

framing it unexpectedly in
the world of classical music.

Here are the nominees
for Best Original Screenplay.

[APPLAUSE]

The band's shoes of inner sharing
written by Martin McDonough.

A text turned to tango.

I don't want to tango.

Everything
everywhere all at once,

written by Daniel Kwan
and Daniel Shynert,

Wake up for it one day.

I'm going to put everything on a bagel.

The fablemans, written by Steven
Spielberg and Tony Kushner.

We've gone too far in our story, though.

I actually say the end.

Todd, written by Todd Field.

You can bother someone else to try
and teach you to crawl to the podium.

Triangle of sadness,
written by Ruben Uselin.

Where am I?

Captain.

May he's good.

[APPLAUSE]

And the Oscar goes too.

Everything everywhere.

[APPLAUSE]

And the Wands, Daniel Shynert.

[APPLAUSE]

Daniel Kwan and Daniel Shynert
began conceiving their screenplay

in 2010, eventually
organizing and narrowing

down their fragmented
ideas by 100.

[APPLAUSE]

Oh, my God.

[APPLAUSE]

All right.

[APPLAUSE]

OK, I had a fantasy as a kid of winning
an award and going up and telling

off all the teachers that gave
my brother and I detention.

So here goes-- I'm just kidding.

These are teachers that changed my life.

Most of them public school teachers.

Miss Dumei, Mr. Tool, Mr. Hudson,
Mr. Chambers, Madame George,

Miss NFL Ken, she's been mere to
tochi, Joan Darling, and Edith Hallman.

You guys educated
me, you inspired me, and

you've taught me to
be less of a butt head.

Your turn.

All right, my fast feel.

I never thought of myself as a
screenwriter or a storyteller and never

thought it was good enough.

I have self-esteem problems.

I have to thank all the people.

Yes.

So-- [LAUGHTER]

Oh, God, guys.

My imposter syndrome
is at an all-time high.

I need to thank the people who made
me the storyteller that I am starting

with my mom who protected me as
a child, protected the inner storyteller.

My mom is sitting here somewhere here.

I don't know where she is.

Thank you for all the
sacrifices you gave me.

My wife who protects me every day
from the most negative thoughts I have,

especially when I'm writing, and
especially when you think Daniel Shiner,

who is my confidence.

He is the person who told me I was
a storyteller and a filmmaker before I

could even say that myself.

And I would not be here without him.

So thank you, guys.

Thank you so much.

And today, fellow nominees,
thank you so much, guys.

Thank you.

[APPLAUSE]

And now, to the brilliant screenwriters
who applied their points of view to

the work of a Canadian author,

iconic movie characters of the past, a
German war novel, a puzzle who done.

it, and even a Japanese film based
on an American film by Leo Tolstoy.

Here are the nominees for

All quiet on the Western Front.

Patterson, and Ian Stappell, based on

the novel by Eric Maria Romark.

Disney classic One
Magic Christmas.

[Music]

Thank you.

[Cheering]

First of all, I just want to thank
the Academy for not being mortally

offended by the words
"women" and "talking put"

So close together like that.

Cheers.

Miriam Taves wrote an essential
novel about a radical act of democracy in

which people who don't
agree on every single issue

managed to sit together in a room and
carve out a way forward together, free

of violence.

They do so not just by
talking but also by listening.

The last line of our
film is delivered by a

young woman to a
new baby, and she says,

Your story will be different from ours.

It's a promise, a commitment, and
an anchor, and it's what I would like to

say with all of my mic to
my three incredible kids,

Eve, Eila, and Amy
as they make their way

through this complicated,
beautiful world.

Thank you to the best man I've ever known.

David Sandamersky, for giving me the
optimism to believe we can and will do

better.

Dee Dee Gardner and Francis McDormand,
thank you for letting me stand on

your shoulders and
making this space for me.

We have the most incredible cast and
the most incredible crew, some of whom

are here tonight.

Please stand up if you're there or if
you're in the nosebleeds and everybody

at home who worked on this film.

Oh my god.

I accept this on all of our behalf.
Thank you. Thank you. Wow.

[applause]

Coming up, Janelle Monet and Kate
Hudson, and later, it was Elba and Cole

Kidman with the
Oscar for Best Director,

plus a special performance
by Lenny Cravitz.

To meet the nominated
film editors, Scandy QR code.

[music]

We're back at the Dolby Theatre
with our final nominee for Best Picture.

Nominated for six Oscars,
this is Top Gun Maverick.

His ex-loids are legendary.

What he has to teach you may mean
the difference between life and death.

Trust your instincts,
don't think, just do it.

I'm not a teacher, I'm a fighter pilot.

The Navy eats Maverick.

[applause]

We say hello to the
pilots from Top Gun

Maverick here in this
balcony, lower balcony.

On behalf of a grateful
nation, we salute you.

[applause]

And we thank you for your pretend service.

Now it's time for the
interactive part of the show.

And everybody please get out
of your phones, even at home.

If you think Robert Blake should
be part of the Inma Moria montage,

text "Gimme a Blake" to the number
on your screen, or to any number,

text that to your mother if you like.

Message and data rates may apply.

From Glass Onion, please welcome Janelle
Monet and Oscar nominee Kate Hudson

with the Oscar for Sound.

[applause]

Cinema may be a visual medium,
but there's a reason movies didn't stay

silent for long.

Sound teams transform images into
fully dimensional moments by designing,

recording, mixing, and editing.

Everything you hear.

Yeah, and we mean everything.

Sure, the Batmobile sounds
awesome, but someone has

to figure out what Batman's
garage door sounds like.

That's right, Kate.

And someone also has to make
if 18 sound kind of if 18 is, right?

I grew up listening to the co-openters.

And now here I am with the Oscars.

[LAUGHTER].

There was only one wish on my mind.

[LAUGHTER]

So was Raja M. Lies and my family.

[MUSIC]

Here's two time Academy
Award nominee, John Friblty.

[MUSIC]

[APPLAUSE].

Okay, so in this industry, we have
the rare luxury of getting to do what we

love for living.

And sometimes getting to do it
with people that we come to love.

And since tonight is a celebration of
the work and the accomplishments of

our community in this past year, it
is only fitting, then that we celebrate

those we've lost.

Who've dedicated their lives to their
craft both in front of and behind the

camera through their immeasurable
contributions, each of them left an

individual and in debau wark
that shared and informed us.

They've touched our hearts, they've
made us smile and became dear friends.

Who we will always remain
hopelessly devoted to.

[APPLAUSE]

So here, to honor them with a very
special performance, please welcome the

incomparable Lenny Cravitz.

[APPLAUSE]

[MUSIC]

Calling all angels, I
need you to look round.

[MUSIC]

[MUSIC]

[MUSIC]

All of my life, I've been
waiting for someone to love.

[MUSIC]

Calling all angels, I
need you to look round.

[MUSIC]

I have been in and
praying to you, you're sad.

All of my life, I've been
waiting for someone to love.

[MUSIC]

All of my life, I've been
waiting for something to love.

[APPLAUSE]

[MUSIC]

Please welcome, Zoe Saldana and
three-time Oscar nominee, Sigourney Weaver.

[MUSIC]

We may have come a
long way from actually

cutting and pasting
film together by hand.

But editing remains
one of the most

complex parts of the
storytelling process.

The characters have to comb through
hours and hours of footage and decide

which takes to make the movie and
which wound up on the cutting room floor.

And whether working with a massive
machine like this one or a computer,

editors still accomplish
the same amazing feat.

Translating time, rhythm and performance
into a compelling story on screen.

Here are the nominees for
Achievement in Film Editing.

The band-cheese of Inicherin, Michael E.
G. Nelson.

Elvis, Matt Villa, and Jonathan Redman.

[MUSIC]

Everything everywhere
all at once, Paul Rogers.

[MUSIC]

Tom Monika Vili.

Top Gun Maverick, Eddie Hamilton.

And the Oscar goes to
everything everywhere.

[APPLAUSE]

Editor Paul Rogers,
met the Daniels, directors

of everything
everywhere all at once,

a Daniel Shiner's birthday party.

[APPLAUSE]

[APPLAUSE]

Oh, thank you.

Wow, this is too much.

This is my second film, y'all.

This is crazy.

[LAUGHTER]

I have to think my wife, the most
incredible woman in the room.

My family, my mama's up here somewhere.

I don't know, she'll scream.

There she is.

[LAUGHTER]

My parallax family,
Luke Lynch, my team,

Ashish, Zukun, Jing,
and Carrie up there.

[APPLAUSE]

And Dan and Daniel, wherever
you are, yeah, there you are.

I hope you know, look, your friends,
the people who care about you.

We're not here because of the
incredible, wonderful, strange, beautiful

movies you make.

We're here because
you guys are incredible,

kind, generous,
strange, sexy people.

And we'll be here if all this goes
away, we're still here with you.

To the cast, it's been the honor
of my career to work with you.

I hope I did right by you.

I care deeply about every one of you.

So, yeah, thank you.

[APPLAUSE]

[MUSIC PLAYING]

[APPLAUSE]

Not only was Paul's
second movie, he edited

the whole thing while
completely tripping

on ayahuasca.

I think that's very impressive.

Anyone who's ever received the text
message from their father knows how

important editing is.

[LAUGHTER]

To amazing things.

Editors can turn 44,000 hours of
violent insurrection footage into a

respectful sightseeing
tour of the Capitol.

[APPLAUSE]

Their work is under appreciated.

And now here to present the award
for directing, Idris Elba and Oscar winner

Nicole Kidman.

[MUSIC PLAYING]

[APPLAUSE].

At the very first Oscar's two awards
were presented for directing, one for

comedy, and one for drama.

But the following year, the directing
awards were combined to acknowledge

that the genre of a movie
isn't what matters most.

Rather, the vision and
skill of the filmmaker

bringing the story
to the big screen.

The Mark of a cinematic genius is
to craft an experience that none only

entertains us for a few hours,
but also stays with us for a lifetime.

And reminds us why we
fell in love with the movies.

Here are the nominees
for Achievement in Directed.

Martin McDonough, the band
she's a miniserant, Daniel Quon,

and Daniel Shynett, everything
love you wherever they want.

Steven Spielberg, the
Fabermans, Todd Field, Tarr,

Ruben Oostland, Triangle of Sadness.

[APPLAUSE]

All right.

And the Oscar goes to
everything everywhere

all the way to the
standard Gondola

to Daniel Shynard.

Known collectively as the Daniels,
Daniel Quon and Daniel Shynard,

Met While Studying at an
Emerson College in Boston,

We began their career
as music video directors.

Oh my god. Thank you, sir.

Our fellow nominees, you guys
are our heroes. This is weird.

We wanted to dedicate
this to the mommies,

all the mommies in
the world, to our moms.

Specifically, my mom and dad, Ken
and Becky, thank you for not squashing my

creativity when I was making
really disturbing horror films,

or really perverted comedy films or
dressing in drag as a kid, which is a

threat to nobody.

[APPLAUSE]

And yeah, thank you to everybody
who worked on our movie.

I know every director agrees with
me when I say a director is nothing

without their incredible cast and crew.

This is my family, my friends.
If our movie has greatness in genius, it is

only because they have greatness in
genius flowing through their hearts and

souls and minds,

and they gave it to us to our-- they
gave that precious gift to our film.

The world is opening up to the
fact that genius does not stem from

individuals like us on stage, but rather
genius emerges from the collective.

We are all products of our context.
We are all descendants of something and

someone, and I want to
acknowledge my context.

My immigrant parents, my father,
who fell in love with movies because he

needed to escape the world and
thus pass that love of movies onto me.

My mother, who is a creative soul,
who wanted to be a dancer, an actor, and

singer, but could not afford
the luxury of that life path,

and then gave it to me, my incredible
brothers and sisters, who helped me

survive the chaos of
childhood, my friends

from high school,
who taught me the--

Sorry, I'm just going to keep going.

[LAUGHTER]

On a CCC, you taught me the liberating
freedom of creativity and joy and

your DNA's in this film as well.

My incredible son, Geo, she rearranged
my DNA every day, and it's awful and

beautiful every single time.

[LAUGHTER]

If you ever watch this, I hope you
know that you should never have to live

up to the standard. This is not normal.

This is kind of crazy.
I will love you no matter what.

[LAUGHTER]

[LAUGHTER]

[APPLAUSE]

[LAUGHTER]

And lastly, I just want to
go back to my original point.

There is greatness in every single person.
It doesn't matter who they are.

You have a genius that is waiting to erupt.

So you just need to find the right
people to unlock that. Thank you so much

to everyone who has unlocked my genius.

This means so much to us.
Thank you to the Academy.

[APPLAUSE]

[MUSIC PLAYING]

Coming up, Jessica Chastain and
Halle Berry, the actor and lead actress.

Plus, Paris and Ford presents Best Picture.

[MUSIC PLAYING]

[APPLAUSE]

We're back to the Oscars.
Congratulations to the Daniels on.

They're joint win
for directing. I won a

great speech. So
many great speeches.

And I, you know, there was a time in
this country when two men wouldn't have

been allowed to share custody of an Oscar.

And I think it's wonderful.
We've come such a long way.

Did you know, though, this interesting,
the last directing team to win an

Oscar was Congressman George Santos.

[LAUGHTER]

We only have three awards left to
go, but we're going to stretch them out

and really make a meal out of them.

[LAUGHTER]

Here to present actor and actress in
a leading role, please welcome Oscar

winners, Jessica Chastain and Halle Berry.

[APPLAUSE]

[MUSIC PLAYING]

[APPLAUSE]

[MUSIC PLAYING]

[APPLAUSE]

[APPLAUSE]

[APPLAUSE].

[LAUGHTER]

When an actor or actress first
approaches a role, we use every tool at our

disposal to help us create
the world of the character.

You can find valuable pieces of
insight from anything around you.

The script, the director, your fellow
actors, the costume, everything.

Yet it's what a performer brings to
the role personally that truly forges

that character into existence.

These nominees showed intelligent
curiosity and a commitment to revealing

their character's humanity and
every aspect of their portrayals.

Here are the nominees for performance
by an actor and a leading role.

Austin Butler, Elvis.

[APPLAUSE]

[MUSIC PLAYING]

[APPLAUSE]

[MUSIC PLAYING]

All right.

Ready to fly.

[MUSIC PLAYING]

[APPLAUSE]

Colin Farrell, the band-shoes of Inashia.

I wish to take out a nice look at me.

Nice good guys.

[MUSIC PLAYING]

No, it was to be nice.

Did you never use to be?

Oh, God.

Maybe you never use to be.

[APPLAUSE]

Brendan Fraser, the way of.

You're an amazing person that I couldn't
ask for a more incredible daughter.

Are you actually trying
to parent me right now?

Ellie, look at me.

Who would want me
to be a part of their life?

[APPLAUSE]

Paul Meskell, after some.

Never know where you'll end up.

You can never write
up for your own to live.

You can hear whoever you want to be.

You've time.

[MUSIC PLAYING].

[APPLAUSE]

Will now live in.

I just had help.

This small wonder I didn't notice.

What I was becoming.

And then I don't remember
what it was like to be alive.

You've only to be alive
like that for one day.

[APPLAUSE]

And the Oscar goes to.

Brendan Fraser.

[APPLAUSE]

As a child, Brendan Fraser
developed an interest in acting

after seeing a rest-in
performance of the musical Oliver.

[MUSIC PLAYING]

[APPLAUSE]

[APPLAUSE]

Thank you.

Thank you.

Thank you.

[LAUGHTER]

[APPLAUSE]

[APPLAUSE]

So this is what the multiverse looks like.

[LAUGHTER].

Oh, my goodness.

I thank the Academy for this
honor and for our studio H24

for making such a bold film.

And I'm grateful to Darren
Ironowski for throwing me a creative

lifeline and hauling me
aboard the good ship, the whale.

There is written by Samuel D.
Hunter, who is our lighthouse.

[APPLAUSE]

Gentlemen, you laid your
whale-sized hearts bare so that we could

see into your souls like
no one else could do.

And it is my honor to be named
alongside you in this category.

[APPLAUSE]

I want to tell you
that only whales can

swim at the depth of
the talent of Hongchao.

[APPLAUSE]

I started in this business 30
years ago, and things didn't come

easily to me, but there
was a facility that I didn't

appreciate at the time until it stopped.

And I just want to say thank you
for this acknowledgment, because

it couldn't be done without my cast.

It's been like I've been on a
diving expedition on the bottom of

the ocean and the air
on the line to the surface.

It's on a launch.

It's been watched over by
some people in my life, like my

friend, I'm a little bit
older than I was born.

I'm a little bit older than I was born.

I'm a little bit older than I was born.

I'm a little bit older than I was born.

I'm a little bit older than I was born.

I'm a little bit older than I was born.

I'm a little bit older than I was born.

I'm a little bit older than I was born.

I'm a little bit older than I was born.

I'm a little bit older than I was born.

I'm a little bit older than I was born.

[APPLAUSE]

I don't think I want to do anything.

I'm a little bit older than I was born.

And now, here are
the nominees for

Performance by an
Actress in a Leading Rule.

Kate Blanchard, Tar.

You want to dance the mask.

You must service the composer.

You've got to supplement yourself.

And yes, your identity.

You must in fact
stand in front of the

public and God and
obliterate yourself.

[APPLAUSE]

Hello, de la nes.

Blonde.

Imagine.

You belong.

I hope people love you.

They want you.

Just die the law.

And it's worth anything.

[APPLAUSE]

Andrea Riesbrough, to listen.

It's been too much my life.

I've had him with people.

I don't even know.

I've done with hiding.

I'm done with being run off.

I don't want to be a good mama.

I won't be a good mama again.

[APPLAUSE]

Michelle Williams, the fables.

I've spelt my countless faults.

I'm not ruining everything for everyone.

I'm going to not be selfish.

[SIGHS]

I'm going to be your mom.

[APPLAUSE]

Michelle Yo, everything only your audience.

Maybe there is something out there.

Something that explains why.

Oh, I don't want.

I still want to be sure with you.

I was always want to be sure with you.

[APPLAUSE]

And the Oscar goes to Michelle Yo.

[APPLAUSE]

As a child, Michelle Yo's
study to become a ballet dancer.

And despite her illustrious
career in action films,

has no formal training in martial arts.

[APPLAUSE]

[APPLAUSE]

[APPLAUSE]

[APPLAUSE]

Thank you.

Thank you.

For all the little boys and girls
who look like me watching tonight,

this is the beacon of
hope and possibilities.

This is proof that dreams dream
big and dreams do come true.

And ladies, don't let anybody tell
you you are ever past your prime.

[APPLAUSE]

I wouldn't be standing here
tonight without the Daniels,

without A24, without my
amazing cast and crew,

without everyone who was involved
with everything everywhere, all at once.

But I have to dedicate this to my
mom, all the moms in the world,

because they are really the superheroes.

And without them, none
of us will be here tonight.

[APPLAUSE]

Oh, man.

She's 84, and I'm taking this home to her.

She's watching right now in Malaysia, K.L.
with my family and friends.

I love you guys.

I'm bringing this home to you.

[APPLAUSE]

And also to my extended family in
Hong Kong, where I started my career.

Thank you for letting me
stand on your shoulders,

giving me a leg up so
that I can be here today.

And to my God, children, to my sisters,

all of them to my brothers,
to God, to my family.

Thank you.

Thank you.

[APPLAUSE]

Thank you to the Academy.

This is history in the making.

Thank you.

[MUSIC PLAYING].

And now, please welcome Academy
Award nominee, Harris and Ford.

[APPLAUSE]

[MUSIC PLAYING]

From intimate stories
to blockbusters, the

films nominated for
our final award tonight

brought movie theaters around
the world back to theaters,

whether providing a few
hours of welcome escape,

or the opportunity to connect emotionally

with different cultures, or inspiring
reflection, encouraging empathy.

Movies can transform our lives.

The movies we honor
tonight have real power.

Once again, here are the
nominees for Best Picture.

All quiet on the Western
Front, avatar, the way of water,

the banches of English sharing,
Elvis, everything everywhere,

all at once, the fabled
ones, or tar, top gun,

and never trying to save us women talking.

[APPLAUSE].

And the Oscar goes to
everything everywhere.

All at once.

[APPLAUSE]

Nominated for 11 Academy
Awards, everything everywhere

all at once won seven Oscars
tonight for after in a supporting role,

actress in a supporting
role, original screenplay,

film editing, directing, actress in
a leading role, and Best Picture.

[APPLAUSE]

[MUSIC PLAYING]

[APPLAUSE]

This feels incredible.

There is no movie without our
brilliant and big-hearted cast and crew,

but not just these beautiful souls here.

Also up there, and in
Little Tokyo, we see you.

So this award is ours.

I really-- it is intimidating
speaking up here.

Let me just tell you that.

I never thought I would get to say this,

so I say it with one voice
with all these people.

Thank you to the Academy.

A24.

Thank you so much.

You saw our weirdness and
supported us for a year, theatrically.

That's incredible.

Thank you.

To my brilliant and beautiful wife, Ani.

If all this shiny stuff in
Tuxedo's goes away,

I would just love to do laundry and
taxes with you for the rest of my life.

[LAUGHTER]

But this is for my dad, who, like so
many immigrant parents, died young.

And he is so proud of
me, not because of this--

because we made this movie
with what he taught me to do,

which is no person is
more important than profits.

And no one is more
important than anyone else.

And these weirdos right here
supported me in doing that.

Wong-Daa, Zang, memory eternal.

Daniel, I don't know what to say.

I love you guys.

You just won Best Picture.

Hey.

We've said enough tonight.

I just want to say that thank
you so much to everyone.

Here, you have all inspired me.

I think one of the things
that I realized growing up

was that one of the best
things we can do for each other

is shelter each other from the
chaos of this crazy world we live in.

Thank you to the storytellers
here who did that for me.

The world is changing rapidly.

And I'm fear that our
stories are not keeping pace.

And I sometimes it's a little scary knowing

that movies move at the
rate of years and the world

on the Internet is moving
at the rate of milliseconds.

But I have great faith in our stories.

These stories have changed my life.

And they've done that for generations.

And I know that we'll get through this.

Have a great night, guys.

Thank you so much.

Thank you.

Everyone have a good night.

Thank you for watching.

[APPLAUSE]

That's it.

We did a great work crisis team.

I want to thank the Thanks to
the Academy for having me again.

It has been an honor to be here with you.

I want to thank Glen Weiss,
Ricky Kershaw, Molly McNearney,

Ricky Minor, our orchestra,
our ASL interpreters,

and the whole Oscars production crew.

Thanks to everyone who's part of
the show, apologies to Matt Damon.

Sorry we went a little long.

I'll be back on my show tomorrow.

And thanks for watching.

We now joined the Morning
America already in progress.

nominations are decided by a vote

in that specific category.

Then the entire membership
