Our Awards encourage the public to talk about great TV and the craft and creativity that goes into creating the most talked-about TV of 2022. Production companies gave us topical and authentic stories that resonated with British audiences, from hard hitting non-scripted programming to strong-female led narratives. I am delighted to see that the interventions we put in place to improve female representation in the director and entertainment performance categories have had positive results. These nominations reflect some of those changes we are seeing today, and will continue to see in the future. The BAFTA Elevate and BAFTA Breakthrough talent schemes have also supported a number of first-time nominees across categories – so if you haven’t seen some of these nominated programmes, do watch them.”

Emotions ran high with impassioned acceptances speeches that led the festivities as Ke Huy Quan accepted his Oscar for Best Actor in a Supporting Role.
“Thank you. My mom is 84 years old. She is at home watching. Mom, I just won an Oscar,” Quan said with tears down his eyes with the audience joining in on his emotions during his tear-jerking speech.
“My journey started on a boat,” Quan continued. “I spent 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. Thank you so much today to the Academy for this honor of a lifetime.”
They say, Stories like this only happen in the movies. I cannot believe it’s happening to me. This this is the American dream. – Ke Huy Quan.

Michelle, Yeoh, speaking backstage after receiving her Oscar was elated as she became part of historical moment. “I have to thank The Academy for acknowledging, embracing diversity and true representation,” Yeoh said. “I think this is something that we have been working so hard towards for a very long time, and tonight we freaking broke that glass ceiling. I Kung Fu’d it out and shattered it, and we need this because there are so many who felt unseen, unheard. It’s not just the Asian community. This is for the Asian community and anyone who has been identified as a minority. We deserve to be heard; we deserve to be seen; we deserve to have the equal opportunity so we can have a seat at table. That’s all we’re asking for. Give us an opportunity. Let us prove we are worth it.”
“Dreams do come true,” Yeoh said as she accepted her award during the live ABC telecast of the 95th Oscars®.

Brendan Fraser was overcome with emotion upon hearing his name announced as the winner of Best Actor in a Leading Role. “What did I hear when I first heard my name? I heard my name but I thought, “that can’t be right,” Faser said. “But it was, so I guess I should get up there and say something quick. I’m sorry. Now I know what the metaverse really looks like. And thank you to all my ‑‑ my internet friends who’ve been so generous and I hope that I live up to this.”
Fraser expressed his process for bringing his character, Charlie, to life. “So going to make a film with this gravity just reinforced how important it is to perform as if it’s the first and last time you ever will. That’s all I’ve got. This has been incredibly rewarding and affirming, and it’s given me a lesson in humility and gratitude.”
Jamie Lee Curtis and Ke Huy Quan pose backstage as the Oscar® winners for Actress and Actor in a Supporting Role during the live ABC telecast of the 95th Oscars® at Dolby® Theatre at Ovation Hollywood on Sunday, March 12, 2023.

Daniels, Jonathan, Ley Line, the entire crew, my bey Michelle, Ke, Steph, the entire group of artists who made this movie. We just won an Oscar.”
Curtis thanked her husband Christopher Guest, her daughters, Annie and Ruby and her sister Kelly.
“To all of the people who have supported the genre movies that I’ve made for all these years, the thousands and hundreds and 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.”
Jimmy Kimmel, who parachuted his way into the opening of the broadcast, kept the evening lively with puns and jokes in keeping with film themes and this year’s nominees.

Jonathan Wang accepts the Oscar® for Best Picture with the cast and crew of “Everything, Everywhere All at Once” during the live ABC telecast of the 95th Oscars® at the Dolby® Theatre at Ovation Hollywood on Sunday, March 12, 2023.
Hollywood, Calif. – On March 12, 2023, on the occasion of the 95th Academy Awards®, the Academy Museum of Motion Pictures hosted its second annual Oscars Night at the Museum. More than 1,500 guests experienced the glitz and glamor of film’s biggest night of the year as they walked the museum’s red carpet in their best Hollywood glam looks.
Throughout the evening, attendees enjoyed music from DJ Toks and a performance by Orquesta Charangoa; explored the museum’s 50,000 square feet of galleries; posed for photo activations; accepted their own award in The Oscars® Experience in the East West Bank Gallery; received a commemorative gift; and had an opportunity to shop for exclusive merchandise at the Academy Museum Store.
The energy of the live broadcast was streamed to the museum’s state of the art David Geffen Theater, hosted by actor, writer and comic D’Lo and writer and actress Dani Fernandez, and Panasonic projectors were used throughout the Academy Museum’s public and special event spaces, so guests never missed a moment of the telecast.
Guests enjoyed a dinner buffet from Wolfgang Puck Catering; fresh De’Longhi coffee, espresso and cocktails, including the Black-Tie Martini and Paloma crafted from their newest coffee innovation “TrueBrew;” a hosted wine bar supported by Clarendelle and Domaine Clarence Dillon, the Academy Museum of Motion Pictures’ official wine partner; and Shake Shack’s latest White Truffle Menu at the Oscars Night at the Museum’s after party.
Preparations continue for the 95th Oscars on Friday, March 10, 2023. The 95th Oscars will be held on Sunday, March 12, 2023, at the Dolby Theatre at Ovation Hollywood and will be televised live on ABC at 8 p.m. EDT/5 p.m. PDT
