“Everything Everywhere All At Once” notched Oscar gold for Best Picture in a night that didn’t have any slap-worthy drama, but was filled with momentous wins and raw moments.
The film cleaned up with seven awards, including for Best Actress, which went to Michelle Yeoh, the first Asian woman to win the category.
Host Jimmy Kimmel promised an evening of “no nonsense” after Will Smith’s on-stage slap of comedian Chris Rock at last year’s ceremony, but he took a swipe at Smith during his opening monologue and then kept getting in jabs for the rest of the night.
“Five Irish actors are nominated tonight — which means the odds of another fight again onstage just went way up,” Kimmel quipped.
Then he mentioned how Smith still won the Best Actor award in the movie “King Richard” after the incident.
“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.
