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.
No complaining about how long the show is.
I saw your movies, now it's my turn to make you sit in a theater for 3 1/2 hours.
That doesn't mean we don't want to hear you speak.
We want the speeches to be moving, we also want to keep it moving.
Speech goes on too long, this year, we're not going to play you offstage, instead, we have a group of performers from the movie "rrr," who is going to dance you offstage.
If you go to long, we're going to gong show you.
Please welcome our first presenters of the night, Dwayne Johnson and Emily blunt.
Do you do any of those moves?
I can.
I would have liked that.
Hello.
We know the show just started, so we'll get straight to the point... we're here to present the award for best animated feature.
Ah... yes.
Yeah.
Animation.
But where does one even begin to adequately capture the magic that is animated film?
Um... I don't know.
But that's why we're here.
So these are the nominees for best animated...
come on...
come on, long night.
That word, animation.
Like many words, it comes from the mother tongue, Latin.
Oh, my god.
Its root meaning, to bestow life.
Dwayne, we've got to keep this moving.
You see, they're exhausted, even...
Emily, yes, it's...
no, we're just wasting time.
Really, think about it, is it really wasting time to sigh that animation is the very definition of film, artfully... thank you.
You know what?
See that.
Yeah.
Artfully, thank you, guys, artfully 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 the nominees this year?
That was very, very nice.
Thank you.
Very, very nicely put.
And I'm going to give you that one.
Here are the nominees for best animated feature film.
“Guillermo del toro's pinocchi”"
Guillermo del toro, Mark gustafson, Gary ungar and Alex bulkley.
You must try your best and that's the best anybody can do.
"Marcel the shell with shoes on."
Elisabeth holm, Andrew Goldman, Caroline kaplan and Paul mezey.
Sometimes people say that my head is too big for my body and then I say, compared to what?
"Puss in boots: The last wish."
Joel Crawford and Mark swift.
Fear me!
I you dare.
"The sea beast."
Chris Williams and jed schlanger.
You didn't stop me, did you?
That's not the same thing.
Isn't it?
"Turning red."
Domee shi and Lindsey Collins.
I like gyrating.
I'm 15, deal with it!
Okay.
And the Oscar goes to...
Guillermo tell toro's
"Pinocchio."
Guillermo del toro first saw "Pinocchio" as a child and felt it was the first time somebody captured how scary childhood could be.
Wow.
Thank you.
It's... it's so good to know that... 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 hencen company and Lisa.
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.
Animation is cinema.
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 for their faith to make this movie.
And I want to dedicate this to the love of my life, my wife Kim, my kids, and my mom and pop, they're not here anymore,
but they are here with me, and I'm your son and I love you.
Thank you.

Here's the first, with four nominations.
This is "avatar: The way of water."
The way of water has no beginning and no end.
Life to death.
Darkness to light.
Water connects all things.
Welcome back.
That was "avatar: The way of water."
The third highest-crossing movie of all time.
James Cameron has directed three $2 billion movies or given his marital history, three $1 billion movies.
We have a lot of history in the making tonight, including a man who could become our oldest acting winner ever, one of my favorites, judd Hirsch.
He turns 88 years old on Wednesday.
88 years old this week.
So, we're going to do his category first.
Let's do it.
Here to present the Oscar for actor and actress in a supporting role, last year's winners in supporting roles,
Oscar winners Troy kotsur and Ariana debose.
Hi, babe.
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.
And 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.
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 gleeson,
“the banshees of inisherin.”
Music lasts.
Paintings last.
And poetry lasts.
50 years time, no one will remember any of us.
Brian Tyree Henry, “causeway.” Car accident.
My nephew, out on the causeway.
I just remember looking in her eyes, like he was saying bye.
Like, see you later.
Judd Hirsch, "the fabelmans."
So, you like the movies?
Your sister, your mother, your pp Apa pa.
This, I get.
Art.
It will tear you in two.
Barry keoghan, “the banshees of inisherin.”
Probably want everyone to fall in love with a boy like me, would you?
Yeah, no.
I didn't think so.
Well, there goes that dream.
Ke huy quan, “everything everywhere all at once.”
There's a great evil that is in my world and it's spreading its chaos to the many verses.
All those years of searching have brought me here to you.
And the Oscar goes to...
ke huy quan.
Ke huy quan made his big screen debut in "Indiana Jones and the itemple of doom" and holds a degree in cinematic arts.
He's worked at a stunt director.
Oh, my god!
Thank you.
My mom is 84 years old.
And she's at home watching.
Mom, I just won an Oscar!
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.
They say stories like this only happen in the movies.
I cannot believe it's happening to me.
This... this is the American dream.
Thank you so much.
Thank you so much to the academy for this honor of a lifetime.
Thank you to my mom for the sacrifices she made to get me here.
To my little brother who calls me every day just to remind me to take good care of myself, I love you, brother.
Thank you to Ken for all your support.
Thank you to a-24.
To Daniel, Jonathan, Jamie, Michelle, and my "goonies" brother for life, Jeff Cohen.
I owe everything to the love of my life, my wife echo, who... 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 out there, please keep your dreams alive.
Thank you, thank you so much for welcoming me back.
I love you.
Thank you, thank you, thank you!
Oh, my lord, I'm a big old softie, up here crying like that.
I feel you.
Okay.
And now, to the equally exceptional women who captivated us with emotionally searing performances.
Here are the nominees for performance by an actress in a supporting role...
Angela bassett, “black panther: Wakanda forever.”
I am queen of the most powerful nation in the world.
And my entire family is gone.
Have I not given everything?
Hong chau, "the whale."
You listen to me.
He doesn't need saving.
In a few days, he's probably going to be dead, so, what he neds is for you to leave him alone.
I'm the only one who can help him, you understand me?
Kerry condon, “the banshees of inisherin.”
Hey, what is hell is going on with you and my brother?
You can't just stop being friends.
Why can't I?
Why can't you?
Because it isn't nice.
Jamie Lee Curtis,
“everything everywhere all at once.”
Now, you may only see a pile of forms and numbers, but I see a story.
I can trace the ups and downs of your lives.
And it does not look good.
It does not look good.
Stephanie hsu, “everything everywhere all at once.”
I'm tired.
I don't want to hurt anymore and for some reason, when I'm with you, it just... it just hurts the both of us.
Just let me go.
And the Oscar goes to...
Jamie Lee Curtis!
Jamie Lee Curtis made her big screen debut in the horror classic "Halloween."
45 years later, she was an executive producer on the final installment, "Halloween ends."
Stop.
I have 45 seconds and I promised Janet Yang I would do it well, because I'm a good girl.
I know it looks like i'm standing up here by myself but I am not, I am hundreds of people.

the thousands and hundreds of thousands of people, we just won an Oscar together!
And my mother and my father were both nominated for oscars in different categories... I just won an Oscar.
Announcer: Please welcome Cara delevigne.
To try and summarize the experiences of all those who identify as women in one movie would be impossible...
But the seven short films helmed 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” from “tell it like a woman,” please welcome honorary Oscar winner Diane Warren and Sofia Carson.

Announcer: Welcome back to the oscars.
With six nominations, the next nominee for best picture, is "tar."
One of the most important musical figures of our time.
Lydia tar.
What is it?
I have a problem.
You honestly believe what they're saying?
I'm worried.
She's starting to disappear into herself.
Beautiful.
That is "tar," Cate blanchett is nominated for the eighth time tonight.
She's incredible, as she always is, and the movie is...
Absolutely masterful.
Let me tell you, you see only one movie this year that starts with the main character being interviewed for 15 minutes by "new yorker staff writer," make it "tar."
You'll be glad you did.
The next movie is documentary feature, which 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.
You know, they say truth is stranger than fiction.
Well, this year's nominees for best documentary told stories that you really could not make up, with emotional rawness that most fiction can only be inspired by.
And I loved your documentary last year.
Like this year's nominees, it...
Yeah.
Thank you.
I loved it.
And what was so special about it, like a lot of these nominees, it told an amazing untold story.
Thank you, man.
You know, making a documentary using never before seen footage, it gives new life and new means.
It's just one of the techniques used by these documentarians.
Basically others use archival photographs in innovative ways,
or spent years following their subjects, both animal and human,
but no matter the approach, they capture the universal truth truths.
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 that breathes"
shaunak sen, aman mann, and Teddy leifer.
♪♪Speaking in non-English
"All the beauty and the bloodshed"

To the navalny family, 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.
The world has not forgotten your message to us all.
We cannot, we must not be afraid to oppose dictators and au authori authoritarianism.
I want to invite yuliya to say a few quick remarks.
Thank you, Daniel.
And thank you to everybody here.
My husband is in prison just for telling 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.
Emotional year.
Yeah, it is.
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 novels, short films are like poetry.
You got to distill down all that emotion, suspense, and impact down to a fraction of the length.
Here are the nominees for best live action short film.

Tom Berkeley and Ross white.

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 fifilm.
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.
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.

Announcer: Welcome back to the dolby theatre.
Nominated for nine oscars, this is "all quiet on the western front."
Announcer: And now, Michael b. Jordan and Jonathan majors.
Hey.
We love you.
A question.
Answer.
Okay, a question for my director.
You ready?
Let's do it.
How do you make a character massive, imposing, and dominating?
Oh.
Well, first of all, we cast you.
That's a great answer.
Thank you.
Second, give the cinematographer the space to put the camera low, pointing up,
like spike Lee and his cinematographer,
Ernest dickerson did with "Malcolm X," as you can see right here.
With their signature double Dolly shot.
Cinematographers find new ways to push the limits of film and storytelling every year.
Back in the day, director Orson welles and his cinematographer gregg Toland had to be innovative.
Because they were using a camera like this.
Oh, that's a beast.
Yeah, that was before cell phones.
So, they actually cut a hole in the floor and physically lowered the camera.
That's what I call a workout and a flex.
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 these next outstanding artists.
Here are the nominees for achievement in cinematography...
"all quiet on the western front"
James friend.
"Bardo, false chronicle of a handful of truths"
Darius khondji.
"Elvis"
Mandy Walker.
"Empire of light"
Roger deakins.
"Tar"
florian hoffmeister.
And the Oscar goes to...
"all quiet on the western front"
James friend.
James friend studied electrotechnical engineering and first worked as an electrician.
He first aspired to become a filmmaker at 13 when she he saw yen."
It's not my birthday.
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, made me look better than I am.
My darling mom and dad, who, when I was... said I want to run off to the circus, join the circus of the film industry, they believed in me and thank you.
And my beautiful wife and Kara gene, my brother and my sister who just... yeah, pushed me and pushed me and pushed me.
And Edward berger and... just thank you so much.
I just... I'm so... if I missed anyone... but thank you so much, from the bottom of my heart.
Thank you so much.
Announcer: Please welcome Donnie yen.
As an action filmmaker who has choreographed and performed in countless fight scenes in 80 movies, I know you should always be prepared for whatever twists and turns come your way.
One minute you're fine, the next, your fingers are hot dogs.
Every day, we're confronted 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.
Here to perform "this is a life" from "everything everywhere all at once," please welcome son Lux, Stephanie hsu, and academy award winner David byrne.

I need to spend the time left composing.
Everyone knows that name.
If he don't, there goes that theory.
He's always been dull.

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 hidden in an actor's car trunk or gym bag.
And by the way, Julia...

But the other day, I walked into a brunch here and I met another cinematographer, James...
it's another movie, florian, who was also nominated for "tar."
We held each other... we are from the same told.
We held each other and for 30 years, we made our first movie together, I was his assistance,
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, Sasha, Scott, and David for making our movie.
Thank you, these two wonderful actors.
My producer, Daniel, the actors, and especially Felix, this was... this was your first movie... this was your first movie and you carried us on your shoulders as if it was nothing.
Without you, none of us would be here.
Thank you, Felix.
Announcer: Coming up, Pedro Pascal and Elizabeth Olsen.

Will John Williams make Oscar history tonight?
To meet our nominated composers, scan the qr code.
Announcer: Welcome back to the oscars at the dolby theatre.
With seven nominations tonight, including best picture, this is "the fabelmans."
In this family, it's the scientists versus the artists.
Should an'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 for imaginative.
You stop making movies, it will break your mother's heart.
You do what your heart says you have to.
You don't owe anyone your life.
Well, we are at the oscars, we have many more awards to go.
How are you guys holding up?
Everybody okay?
Yeah, you're hanging in there?
I put food under your seats, I don't know if you noticed it.
All right.
This point in the show kind of makes you miss the slapping a little, right?
Three of the eight categories that have 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 doisney plus right now, Pedro Pascal.
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 whisperers" kartiki gonsalves and guneet monga.
"Haulout" evgenia arbugaeva and Maxim arbugaev.
"How do you measure a year?"
Jay rosenblatt.
♪ Measure a year
"the Martha Mitchell effect"
Anne alvergue and Beth levison.
"Stranger at the gate"
Joshua seftel and conall Jones.
And the Oscar goes to...
"the elephant whisperers"
kartiki gonsalves and guneet monga.
Guneet monga was one of the first producers from India to be inducted in the film making hll of fame.
I stand here today to speak for the sacred bond between us and our natural world.
For the respect of indigenous communities.
And 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.
For sharing their sacred tribal wisdom.
To our guneet, my producer, and Douglas blush, my mentor, and my entire team, and finally, to my mother, father, and sister, who are up there somewhere.
You are the center of my universe.
To my motherland, India.
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...
what?
Well, you'll find out when you watch this.
How thrilling.
Here are the nominees for best animated short film.
"The boy, the mole, the fox and the horse"
Charlie mackesy and Matthew Freud.
"The flying sailor"
Amanda forbis and Wendy tilby.
"Ice merchants"
joao Gonzalez and Bruno caetano.
"My year of dicks"
Sara gunnarsdottir and Pamela ribon.
"An ostrich told me the world is fake, and I think I believe it"
Lachlan pendragon.
And the Oscar goes to...
"the boy, the mole, the fox and the horse"
Charlie mackesy 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.
We 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.
So, I'm really sorry to all the people who should be on this stage with us, extraordinary team with Cara speller and Peter and j. J. And Hannah and izzo and John and over 100 animators.
I'm really sorry to my children and my girlfriend and my colleagues at Freud for basically being absent for the last two years, as this film took flight.
But this statue is for the dog and the boy.
Hello.
I'm sorry.
I'll be brief.
It's a recurring theme, the apology.
I was in my village very recently, a lady came up to me and said, I hear you're going to that Oscar thing.
I said, I think I'll need help with my clothes.
And she said, you will.
And it's a recurring theme with clothing and myself, and she then said, there was a long pause, she said, you know, Charlie, I think it takes a lot of courage to make a film.
And I think when you go there, there will be a lot of very, very brave people in the same room.
And I looked at her, 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 is actually in a hotel, I hate to say that.
I wasn't really meant to say that.
Anyway, thank you so, so much for this.
Thank you.
I wrote this song with my friend bloodpop for the film "top gun: Maverick" in 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 luxury cruise depends on two moments.
The first hours and the last day the guests are onboard.
Everybody, let's keep calm.
And while you're summing in abundance...
it's not about the money.
It's not about the money.
The rest of the world is drowning in misery.
That's not the way it's meant to be.
I know you have a good heart in there somewhere.
Everyone's equal.
Announcer: And now, Hugh Grant and Andie MacDowell.
Lovely to be here.
It is lovely.
We're actually here to do two things.
The first is to raise awareness about the vital importance of using a good moisturizer.
Andie has been wearing one every day for the last 29 years.
I have never used one in my life.
Still stunning.
Basically a scrotum.
The second... the second is to celebrate the role of the production designer in the making of a great movie.
What are you doing?
These unsung geniuses, armed with world-building imaginations that sometimes exceed all budgets, create new environments from thin air.

Thank you so much, dear academy.
I'm completely blown away.
I would like to thank, first of all, our beautiful director, Edward berger.
Without you, I could nhave not done it.
This whole thing was a real team effort.
My heart goes out to all the other hods who worked on this project, I could have not done it without you.
Thank you so take me on the show.
Absolute pleasure.
And first of all, I want to give this to my two beautiful sons.
This is... I have to thank my parents, momma, papa, I love you.
And my sisters and my dear friends.
When I started this, I was told, don't ever forget, you are only as good as your team,
so, this is all the hardworking people in Prague, and all the teams that helped me to get on this stage.
Academy and everybody, thank you so much.
This is so... I'm so honored.
Thank you.
Announcer: Please welcome John Cho and mindy kaling.
The musical score of a motion picture can evoke a multitude of feelings.
The fear of unseen danger, the excitement of death-defying action.
The "hell no" when Lydia tar sees a replacement conductor.
The terror of mispronouncing "the banshees of inisherin" on national television.
The horror of a movie starting and realizing I left my phone in the car.
I've been there.
Here are the nominees for best original score.
"All quiet on the western front"
by volker bertelmann.
"Babylon" by Justin hurwitz.
"The banshees of inisherin" by Carter burwell.

Piano at the age of 9 and formed his first rock band at 14.
While in school, he began studying medicine and then switched to business economics.
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 of my mom, because she was telling me every now and then,
when you want to 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... how we all can live together, so, you know, by working on a film like that, you always are deeply touched and sometimes you have to make the screen very small, because there is so much explosions happening.
I want to say thank you to my wife, Elizabeth, and my kids up there, lottie, Paulina, and Lucas.
To Edward berger and the whole cast and crew for their amazing craftsmanship.
To Netflix for their huge support.
And to my fellow nominees, Carter, John, Justin, son Lux, for... that I can be apart of such a... unique, human and diverse group of talented composers.
That's for me a big gift.
And last but not least, I want to thank all of you for this wonderful evening.
Thank you so much.

I think if you dream it, you'll do it.
Got to be making the most I can.
This can all be over in a flash.
A lot of people saying a lot of things.
But in the end, you got to listen to yourself.
Announcer: And now, please welcome Elizabeth banks.
Hit the Mark.
Oh, my god.
He tripped me.
I recently directed the film "cocaine bear."
And... thank you.
Without visual effects, this is what the bear would look like.
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... are you trying to score right now?
You need to wait for the afterparty like everybody else.
The coke is not real.
It's visual effects, right?
Why are you dragging sigourney Weaver into this?
She doesn't... the navi are not real.
Is this "all quiet on the western front?"
Yeah, that's visual effects.
It was a real war, but real visual effects.
Batman flying around is not real.
Tom Cruise flying around is real.
But also visual effects.
Wakanda?
Wakanda is totally real.
Visual effects can enhance any... I'm sorry, my voice.
Visual effects can enhance any story and without visual effects, "cocaine bear" would have been some actor in a bear suit probably on cocaine.
Here are the nominees for achievement in visual effects.
Get out!

And weather effects, two tales and strong.
Lina with the production team, Joe leading the artists, and army of artists and the amazingly talented supervisor that we have.
Effects stand on the shoulders of our actors.
Their performances are everything.
We need to thank our fall I wills.
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 afterparty is at cgi Friday's.
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.
Welcome.
Thank you so much.
Great to have you here and congratulations on the movie.
This question is from joanne from New York.
Your work on human rights and education for children is an inspiration.
I was wondering, do you think Harry styles spit on Chris pine?
I only talk about peace.
You know what, that's why you're malala and nobody else is.
That's a great answer, malala.
The winner is malala-land, everybody.
And the next question is from Joey from Las Vegas for Colin Farrell.
Haven't seen Joey in years.
Well, Joey would like to ask you, he said, Colin, I loved your performance, my question is, what were you saying in the movie?
I'd like him to go on YouTube and check out "snl" last night and he'll have a good idea.
That way he'll figure it out?
All right.
And I apologize for Joey.
If you and the donkey go out after, text me, okay?
Look at this cr... Jessica,
Jessica, hi.
There's no name on this one.
It says, Jessica, was it difficult filming your movie because your costar Matt Damon can't read and smells like dog medicine?
I didn't really have a lot of scenes with him, so it was fine.
Excellent, wonderful.
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!
All right, we got to get this guy out of here.
Please say hello from "black panther," danai gurira.
Ludwig goransson, Ryan coogler, tems, and Rihanna wrote a ballad that speaks from the heart and as a tribute to the late Chadwick boseman.
Chadwick's powerful artistry, magnetism, and incomparable humanity left an indelible Mark on our hearts.
Chadwick embodied 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,
"enkosi, kumkani."
Thank you, king.

Later, Halle Berry and Harrison Ford.
To hear from the sound nominees, scan the qr code.
Announcer: We're back with our next best picture nominee.
Nominated for 11 oscars, this is "everything everywhere all at once."
My dear Evelyn, every rejection, every disappointment, has led you to this moment.
We are back at the oscars.
As you can see, I've changed from a black tuxedo jacket what a white one.
The white jacket represents that we've reached the point in the broadcast where I spilled guacamole on the black jacket.
"Everything everywhere all at once" is the most nominated film of the year, and I want to mention... one of its great stars, 94-year-old James Hong, who is sitting right here.
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, allow me to say, you are one of our great living actors and one of our worst civil engineers.
The roads are unconscionable.
But we absolusalute you.
Our next two categories honor the lonely nerds who spend day after day in front of their computer screens.
They are called writer.
And some of them are about to get an Oscar, which is going to crush on their tinder profiles.
Please welcome Oscar nominees Florence pugh and Andrew Garfield.
So, the best screenplays to read are just as alive as the films they eventually become.
But before the words can flow, writers need that creative spark.

He wanted to create a rollercoaster 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.
For Daniel kwan and Daniel scheinert, their screenplay came into focus with the phrase, "let's put my mom in the matrix."
Martin McDonagh wanted to explore the experience of a breakup, so he imagined two buddies at the end of their friendship.
And Todd field wanted to develop the world of Cate blanchett's character over a series of video meetings.
Here are the nominees for best original screenplay.
"The banshees of inisherin,"
written by Martin McDonagh.
It takes two to tango.
I don't want to tango.
"Everything everywhere all at once."
Written by Daniel kwan and Daniel scheinert.
I got bored one day, and I put everything on a bagel.

What am I, captain?
Very good.
And the Oscar goes to...
"everything everywhere all at once,"
Daniel kwan, Daniel scheinert.

Oh, my god.
All right.
Okay, I had... 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.
Mr. Tool, Mr. Hudson, Mr. Chambers, and Ethan hallman.
You guys educated me, you inspired me, and you taught me to be less of a butthead.
Your turn.
All right, my fast spiel, I never thought of myself as a screenwriter or a storyteller, I never thought I was good enough, I have self-esteem problems.
I have to thank all the people... yes... so... thank you.
Oh, god.
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 here, I don't know where she is.
Thank you for all the sacrifice she gave me.
My wife who protects me every day from the most negative thoughts I have, especially when I'm writing and especially I need to thank Daniel, who is my confidence, he is the personal who told me I was a story telle and a filmmaker before I could say that myself and I would not be here without him.
And to my fellow nominees, thank you so much, guys, thank you.
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 puzzling whodunit,
and even a Japanese film based on a novella by Leo Tolstoy.

Cheers.
Mirian toews wrote this novel, where people don't agree on every single issue, manage to sit together in a room and carve out a way 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 might to my three kids, Eve,
Isla, and Amy, as they make their way through this beautiful, complicated world.
Thank you to the best man I've ever known, David, for giving me the optimism to believe we can and will do better.
Dede gardner and Francis mcdormant, thank you for making this space for me.
We have the most incredible cast and the most incredible crew, some of whom are here tonight,

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 somebody has to figure out what Batman's garage door sounds like.
That's right, Kate.
And someone else has to make f-18s sound kind of f-18-ish, right?
Totally.
And who decides what a navi braid sounds like when it hits the water?
I wondered that.
Well, these amazing artists.

Announcer: Here's two-time academy award nominee John Travolta.
Okay.
So, in this industry, we have the rare luxury of getting to do what we love for a 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 dedicated their lives to their craft, both in front of and behind the camera.
Through their immeasurable contributions.
Each of them left a Mark 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.
So, here to honor, and with a very special performance, please welcome the incomparable Lenny kravitz.

Announcer: Please welcome Zoe saldana and three-time Oscar nominee sigourney Weaver.
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.
Editors have to comb through hours and hours of footage and decide which takes make the movie and which wind up on the cutting room floor.
And whether working with a massive machine like this or at a computer, editors still accomplish the same amazing feat, translating time, rhythm,
and performance into a compelling story onscreen.
Here are the nominees for achievement in film editing.
"The banshees of inisherin"
Mikkel e. G. Nielsen.
"Elvis"
Matt villa and Jonathan redmond.
"Everything everywhere all at once"
Paul Rogers.
"Tar"
Monika willi.
"Top gun: Maverick"
Eddie Hamilton.
And the Oscar goes to...
"everything everywhere all at once," Paul Rogers.
Editor Paul Rogers met the Daniels, directors of "everything everywhere all at once" at a birthday party.
Thank you.
Wow, this is... this is too much.
This is my second film, y'all.
This is crazy.
I have to thank my wife, the most incredible woman in the room.
My family, my mom is up here somewhere, I don't know, she'll scream.
There she is.
My... my paralax family, Luke lynch, you know.
My team, ashish, Carrie up there.
Dan and Daniel, wherever you are, yeah, there you are.
I hope you know... you know, look, your friends, the people who care about you, we're not here because of the incredible,
wonderful strange movies you make, we're here because you are incredible, kind, djenggenerousy people.
And if this goes away, we're still with you.
To the cast, it's been the honor of my career.
I hope I did right by you.
I care deeply about every one of you, so... yeah.
Thank you.
Not only was Paul's second movie, he edited the whole thing while tripping.
I think that's very impressive.
Anyone who has ever received a text message from their father knows how important editing is.
Editors... do amazing things.
Editors can turn 44,000 hours of violent insurrection footage into a respectful sight-seeing tour of the capitol.
Their work is underappreciated.
And now here to present the award for directing, Idris Elba and Oscar winner Nicole Kidman.
At the very first oscars, 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 the movie isn't what matters most, but 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 not 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 directing.
Martin McDonagh, "the banshees of inisherin."
Daniel kwan and Daniel scheinert, "everything everywhere all at once."
Steven Spielberg, "the fabelmans."
Todd field, "tar."
Ruben ostlund, "triangle of sadness."
All right.
And the Oscar goes to...
"everything everywhere all at once."
Daniel kwan and Daniel scheinrt.
Known as the Daniels, they met studying in Boston.
They began their career as music video directors.
Oh, my god.
Thank you, sir.
Our fellow nominees, you guys are our heroes.
This is weird.
I... we want to dedicate this to the mommies, all the mommies of the world, to our moms.
Specifically my mom and dad, Ken and Becky, thank you for not squashing my creativity when I was making disturbing horror films or perverted comedy films or dressing in drag as a kid, which is a threat to nobody.
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 and genius, it's only because they have greatness and genius flowing through their hearts and souls and minds and 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.
W 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 passed that love to me.
My mother, who wanted to be a dancer, an actor, a singer, could not afford the luxury of that life path and gave it to me.
My incredible brothers and sisters who helped me survive the chaos of childhood.
My friends who high school who... sorry, I'm going to keep going.
The rccc, you taught me the liberating freedom of creativity and joy.
My incredible son gio, you rearrange my DNA every day, it's awful and beautiful at the same time.
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.
I... and lastly,
I want to go back to my original point, there is greatness in every person.
Doesn't matter who they are.
You have a genius that is waiting to erupt.
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.
Announcer: Coming up, Jessica chastain and Halle Berry with lead actor and lead actress.
Plus, Harrison Ford and presents best picture.
Welcome back to the oscars.
Congratulations to the Daniels on their joint win for directing.
What a great speech.
So many great speeches tonight.
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 you think it's wonderful.
This is interesting.
The last directing team to win an Oscar was congressman George Santos.
We only have three awards left to go.
But we're going to stretch them out and really make a meal out of them.
Here to present actor and actress in a leadin role, please welcome Oscar winners Jessica chastain and Halle Berry.
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, our fellow actors, the costume, everything.
Yet it's what a performer brings to the role personally, that truly brings that character into existence.
These nominees showed intelligence, curiosity, and a commitment to revealing their characters' humanity in every aspect of their portrayals.
Here are the nominees for performance by an actor in a leading role.
Austin Butler, "Elvis."
I'm going to show you what the real Elvis is like tonight.
I'm ready.
Ready to fly.
Colin Farrell, "the banshees of inisherin."
Nice, good guys.
You used to be nice.
Or did you never used to be?
Oh, god.
Maybe you never used to be.
Brendan Fraser, "the whale."
You're an amazing person, Allie.
I couldn't ask for a more incredible daughter.
Are you trying to parent me right now?
Allie, look at me.
Who would want me to be a part of their life?
Paul mescal, "aftersun."
Never know where you'll end up.
You can live wherever you want to live.
You can be whoever you want to be.
You have time.
Bill nighy, "living."
What is it?
A small wonder I didn't notice what I was becoming.
Then I remembered what it was like to be alive.
You've only to be alive like that for one day.
And the Oscar goes to...
Brendan Fraser, "the whale."
As a child, Brendan Fraser developed an interest in acting after seeing a west end performance of the musical "Oliver."
So this is what the multiverse looks like.
My goodness.
I thank the academy for this honor and for our studio a-24 for making such a bold film.
And... I'm grateful to Darren for throwing me a creative lifetime and hauling me aboard the good ship "the whale." It was written by Samuel d.
Hunter who is our lighthouse.
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.
I want to tell you that only whales can swim at the depth of the talent of Hong chau, and I started in this business 30 years ago, and things... they didn't come easily to me, but there was a facility that I didn't... I doesn't appreciate at the time until it stopped.
And I just want to say thank you for this acknowledgement, because it couldn't be done without my cast, it's been like I've been in a diving expedition at the bottom of the ocean and the air on the line to the surface is on a launch being watched over by some people in my life, like my sons, Holden and Leland and Griffin.
I love you.
My manager joann, Jennifer plant, and my best first meate, Jeanne.
Thank you, again, each one and all.
I'm so grateful to you.
And now, here are the nominees for performance by an actress in a leading role.
Cate blanchett, "tar."
You want to dance the mask, you must service the composer.
You got to sublimate yourself.
You must in fact stand in front of the public and god and obliterate yourself.
Ana de armas, "blonde." Imagine you belong.
People love you.
They want you.
Just that alone is worth anything.
Andrea riseborough, "to Leslie."
I'm done with hiding.
I'm done with being run off.
I want to be a good momma.
I want to be a good momma again.
Michelle Williams, "the fablesmans."
Despite my countless faults, I'm not ruining everything for everyone.
I'm going to not be selfish.
I'm going to be your mom.
Michelle yeoh, "everything everywhere all at once."
Maybe there is something out there, something that explains why, no matter what, I still want to be here with you.
I will always want to be here with you.
And the Oscar goes to...
Michelle yeoh, "everything everywhere all at once."
As a child, Michelle yeoh studied to become a ballet dancer, and despite her career in action films, has no formal training in martial arts.
Thank you.
For all the little boys and girls who look like me watching ton tonight, this is a 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.
Never give up.
I wouldn't be standing here tonight without the Daniels, without a-24, without my amazing cast and crew, without everyone who was involved with "everything everywhere all at once."
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.
She's 84, and I'm taking this home to her.
She's watching right now in Malaysia with my family and friends.
I love you guys.
I'm bringing this home to you.
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 could be here today.
And to my godchildren, to my sisters, all of them, to my brothers, oh, god, to my family.
Thank you.
Thank you to the academy, this is history in the making.
Thank you.
Announcer: And now, please welcome academy award nominee Harrison Ford.
Thank you.
From intimate stories 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 banshees of inisherin"
"Elvis"
"everything everywhere all at once"
"the fabelmans"
"tar"
"top gun: Maverick"
"triangle of sadness"
"women talking"
and the Oscar goes to...
"everything everywhere all at once."
Nominated for 11 academy awards, "everything everywhere all at once" won seven oscars tonight for actor in a supporting role, actress in a supporting role, original screenplay, film editing, directing, actress in a leading role, and best picture.
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... it's 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.
A-24, thank you so much.
You saw our weirdness and supported us for a year, that's incredible, thank you.
To my brilliant and beautiful wife, if all the shiny stuff and tuxedos goes away, I would love to do laundry and taxes with you for the rest of my life.
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, but 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.
Memory eternal.
Daniels, I don't know what to say.
I love you guys.
You just won best picture.
We've said enough tonight.
Thank you so much to everyone here.
You have all inspired me.
One of the things that I realized growing up is that one of the best things we can do for each other is shelter each other from the chaos of this crazy world.
Thank you to the storytellers here who did that for me.
The world is changing rapidly and I fear our stories aren't keeping at 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 miliseconds, but I have great faith in our stories.
These stories have changed my life and they have done that for Jeb generations.
Have a great night, guys, thank you so much.
Thank you, everyone, have a great night.
Thank you for watching!
Well, that's it.
We did it.
Great work, crisis team.
Thanks to the academy for having me again.
It's been an honor to be here with you.
I want to thank Glenn weiss, Molly, rickey minor, our orchestra, our asl interpreters and the entire crew.
Thank you to everyone in the crew.
I'm sorry to Matt Damon, we ran out of time.
Thank you for watching.
We now join "good morning America" already in progress.
Good night.
