Oscars Winners 2023
The Oscars 2023 was one for the books! The Dolby Theatre in Hollywood shined like the brightest star in the sky this past Sunday night. With the dust finally settling after yet another year of movie-making, one thing is certain. No one had a bigger night than the filmmakers behind Everything Everywhere All At Once.
The 95th Academy Awards was full of popular contenders from top-grossing blockbusters like Avatar: The Way of Water and Top Gun: Maverick to character pieces such as The Whale and Tár.
Best Cinematography was a particularly competitive category but James Friend’s work on All Quiet on the Western Front won the year.
While Sarah Polley’s Best Adapted Screenplay for Women Talking was an obvious win, the Daniels won out against stiffer competition for Best Original Screenplay.
