Read our privacy policy When Harrison Ford announced Everything Everywhere All At Once as this year’s Oscars Best Picture winner, its star Ke Huy Quan rushed to the stage and immediately leapt into the actor’s arms. Michelle Yeoh, who won Best Actress after a close race with Tár star Cate Blanchett, has spoken often about how she’s spent much of her illustrious career dreaming of a role like the one she was offered in Everything Everywhere All At Once. Sarah Polley jokingly celebrated her Best Original Screenplay award for Women Talking by thanking “the Academy for not being so morally offended by the words ‘women’ and ‘talking’ so close together like that”. Host Jimmy Kimmel spent most of the night taking pot-shots at Will Smith for last year’s headline-dominating slap – an incident that was treated with deadly seriousness then, and saw the actor banned from all Academy events for 10 years with several of his upcoming projects cancelled, now thought of as nothing more than fuel for stereotypical jokes about the night's Irish nominees taking the stage to fight.
