Oscars 2023: Everything Everywhere All At Once is the night's big winner

Everything Everywhere All At Once was the big winner - bagging seven awards - including three out of four of the acting trophies for Michelle Yeoh, Jamie Lee Curtis and Ke Huy Quan.

Brendan Fraser rounded off a great year by winning best actor for his part in The Whale.

Elsewhere, RRR won best song for Naatu Naatu, while All Quiet On The Western Front took home the cinematography prize.

The Banshees Of Inisherin, The Fabelmans, Elvis and Tar all walked away empty handed.

Until next year!

Red carpet culture dominates the Oscars to the extent that you'd be forgiven for recalling more about the frocks than the films, and the Vanity Fair Party is the pinnacle, where chaos threatens to eclipse glamour.

The after-party is designed to ensure the Academy Awards dominate global news; the photos of the winners clutching their statues travel fast around the world and give an invaluable boost to studios' revenue.

But behind the manufactured fanfare of it all, the Oscars never fail to deliver something meaningful.

This year marks a milestone for Asian talent in Hollywood as Michelle Yeoh becomes the first Asian person to win lead actress, and Ke Huy Quan the first Asian person to win best supporting actor in some 38 years – proclaiming it "the American Dream".

And a moment for their director Daniel Kwan, the second Asian to win best picture, director and screenplay (following Bong Joon-ho for Parasite in 2020) and the fourth Asian director in 95 years to take the prize in his category (after Ang Lee, Bong Joon-ho and Chloe Zhao).

So, an historic night for Asian representation follows an historic year for deaf representation with CODA's glory last year.

And this is what the Academy does. Blockbusters like Top Gun might get a nod, but they don't need to win. 

That is what endures us to the Academy Awards, after almost a century, and in spite of dwindling audiences. As long as it continues to warm hearts (amid the gags onstage), it'll survive.  

So while moments such as the Will Smith slap might stand out in the history of global news coverage of the Oscars, when the Academy – for all its faults – picks the right horse and delivers a global feel good moment, ripples are felt a long way beyond Hollywood.

Clutching armfuls of gold statuettes as the cast of Everything Everywhere swept into the Vanity Fair Oscar after-party, a giant cheer erupted.

Ke Huy Quan bounded past the queues of guests who were waiting to be photographed - the first Vietnam-born actor to win an Oscar - beaming with joy and ready to celebrate.

The weight of expectation now behind them, the favourites going into this Academy Awards could properly relax.

Filmmakers the Daniels - Daniel Kwan and Daniel Scheinert - seemingly in shock that their oddball multiverse cult-hit had secured them so many statuettes.

Kwan, shaking his head with an Oscar in each hand, told reporters: "It's too much… it's really good".

On a night with few recognisable British winners, cinematographer James Friend won for All Quiet On The Western Front. Bleary-eyed and jet-lagged, he told me he'd just fallen asleep in the car and dreamt he'd won an Oscar... only to wake up clutching one.

Between the tears and thanking of mums, this year's Academy Awards ceremony was a far more wholesome affair - the after-party was a chance to finally let loose.

Michelle Yeoh's family erupted in cheers at a special viewing of the Oscars in Kuala Lumpur, when she was crowned best actress.

Yeoh was the lead in he night's big winner Everything Everywhere All At Once.

President Higgins said: "May I congratulate An Irish Goodbye and Richard Baneham for their fantastic achievements in winning the Best Live-Action Short Film and Best Visual Effects Awards respectively at last night's Oscars ceremony.

"May I further extend my congratulations to Colin Farrell, Paul Mescal, Kerry Condon, Brendan Gleeson, Barry Keoghan, Jonathan Redmond and all involved with An Cailin Ciuin and The Banshees Of Inisherin for the exceptional recognition of their work which being nominated for an Academy Award constitutes.

"This has been a remarkable year for the Irish film industry and is a testament to the hard work of so many people over recent decades."

He added: "As a gesture to all that has been achieved, and the important contribution of the film and related industries to Irish life, Sabina and myself look forward to hosting a St Patrick's Day reception celebrating the Irish Film, Audio-Visual and Performing Arts Communities at Aras an Uachtarain this Friday."
