Ke Huy Quan’s emotion and farewell to her mother.

Ke Huy Quan brought his first Oscar, winning the Best Supporting Actor category for his performance in “Everything Everywhere All at Once”; the actor, who made his film debut as “Shorty” in the first Indiana Jones movie, thanked his 84-year-old mother, who was watching from home.
“Mom, I just won an Oscar!” exclaimed the actor, who has been away from films for years because there were never any roles for actors of Asian descent like him.

“They say stories like this only happen in films. I can’t believe it’s happening to me. This is the American dream!”

Angela Bassett’s disappointment and Jamie Lee Curtis’s speech.

Angela Bassett‘s expression of disappointment at the announcement of Jamie Lee Curtis‘ win will surely become a meme: the two actresses competed in the same category for Best Supporting Actress.
The actress awarded for her role as a non-protégé in the film Everything Everywhere All at Once, could not hold back her emotion, crying out:

‘To all the people who have supported the genre films I’ve made all these years, the thousands and hundreds of thousands of people, we just won an Oscar together! And my mother and father were both nominated for Oscars in different categories: I just won an Oscar‘.

After bowing to the audience, she left the stage in tears.

Lady Gaga’s surprise live performance

Lady Gaga unexpectedly burst onto the stage with her ‘Hold my Hand’, the song she wrote for Top Gun: Maverick. An unexpected and powerful acoustic version, with her in informal clothes and without make-up: a performance to remember.

The Lenny Kravitz Memorial

Tearful moment entrusted to Kravitz, who had the task of coming on stage and singing a poignant ballad, while on the screen passed photos of all the artists who had passed away in the last year.
From Angela Lansbury and Gina Lollobrigida to Jean-Luc Godard and Olivia Newton-John. Introducing the memorial was an emotional John Travolta.

Hugh Grant’s no-sense speech

Model Ashley Graham approaches actor 62 Hugh Grant for an interview before the ceremony.
Not at all amused, nor perhaps happy to be there, the ‘About a Boy’ actor did nothing to hide his annoyance, at some of the most awkward moments on TV: monsyllabic answers, obnoxious posturing.
Ashley asks: “What was it like being in Glass Onion? How much fun is it to film a yellow comedy like that?”
Hugh Grant: “Well, I’m barely in it, I was in it for about three seconds”.
The model tries again, “What are you wearing?” And he, increasingly annoyed: ‘My dress’.

Brendan Fraser’s emotional award ceremony

Winner for Best Actor in a Leading Role in ‘The Whale’, Brendan Fraser moved everyone with his touching speech:
“I am extremely grateful to Darren for giving me the chance to save myself with The Whale,” he stressed, referring to the director. He thanked all the people who worked with him, adding: “Gentlemen, you have such a big heart that it is possible to see your souls. I have and it is wonderful to be here. Thank you and all the candidates in my category, because it is an honor”.
After that, the speech comes into focus:

“I would like to say that you have a whale’s heart. Only whales can go that deep. I started working in cinema 30 years ago. At the beginning there was something I couldn’t appreciate. Then this ended and now I am here and I am recognized”. “It has been an expedition to the bottom of the ocean, coming back up is not easy”.
