"Everything Everywhere" won all of the Oscars all at once
It was kind of expected, and it pretty much happened: "Everything Everywhere All at Once" won MOST of the Oscars it was up for. Specifically, 7 out of 11 . . . including Best Picture.
The only acting award it didn't win was Best Actor . . . but they didn't have a nominee in that category.
Brendan Fraser won that one for "The Whale" . . . and to be honest, I was a little worried he was gonna have a heart attack during his speech.
Ke Huy Quan won Best Supporting Actor for "Everything Everywhere". Which means, along with Brendan's win later in the night, two of the stars of the 1992 cinematic classic "Encino Man" are now Oscar winners.
Michelle Yeoh won Best Actress, and Jamie Lee Curtis won Best Supporting Actress . . . beating co-star Stephanie Hsu.
Daniel Kwan and Daniel Scheinert also won Best Director(s) and Best Original Screenplay.
Jimmy Kimmel did make several references to The Slap, starting with his monologue.
He said, quote, "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 be permitted to give an 18-minute long speech."
He added, quote, "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. Maybe even give the assailant a hug."
(A lot of people in the audience probably saw a little of themselves in these jokes.)
At the end of the show, Jimmy went backstage and flipped over a number on a board to indicate that there has now been ONE consecutive Oscar ceremony without incident.
Jimmy also joked about whether Robert Blake would be included in the In Memoriam segment. He wasn't.
John Travolta got choked up introducing that segment . . . probably at least in part because it included his longtime friend Olivia Newton-John.
