And despite initially scant expectations of Oscar glory, “Everything Everywhere All at Once” toppled both blockbusters and critical darlings .
Best actor went to Brendan Fraser, culminating the former action star’s return to centre stage for his physical transformation as a 600-lb. reclusive professor in “The Whale.” The best-actor race had been one of the closest contests of the night, but Fraser in the end edged Austin Butler. Minutes later, Quan’s castmate Jamie Lee Curtis won for best supporting actress. Her win, in one of the most competitive categories this year, denied a victory for comic-book fans. Angela Bassett would have been the first performer to win an Oscar for a Marvel movie.
“Thank you to the Academy for recognizing the superhero that is a Black woman,” said Carter. “She endures, she loves, she overcomes, she is every woman in this film.”The telecast, airing live on ABC, opened traditionally: with a montage of the year’s films and a lengthy monologue. Kimmel, hosting for the third time, didn’t dive right into revisiting Will Smith’s slap of Chris Rock at last year’s ceremony.
“Thank you to the academy for not being mortally offended by the words ‘women’ and ‘talking,’” said Polley. It also meant a long show. “This kind of makes you miss the slapping a little bit, right?” Kimmel said midshow.
