2023 Oscars recap: Biggest wins, all the star-studded performances and more

John Travolta introduced the "In Memoriam" performance.

"Since tonight is a celebration of the work and the accomplishments of our community in this past year, it is only fitting then that we celebrate those we've lost, who dedicated their lives to their craft, both in front of and behind the camera," he shared.

He added, "They've touched our hearts, they've made us smile and became dear friends who we will always remain hopelessly devoted to."

Lenny Kravitz then took the stage to deliver a heartfelt performance of his song "Calling All Angels." Some of the late artists honored included Angela Lansbury, Olivia Newton-John and Jean-Luc Godard.

An extended photo gallery of more than 200 filmmakers, executives and stars will be memorialized on A.frame, the academy's digital magazine.

"Naatu Naatu" from "RRR" won the Oscar for best original song.

The Telugu song by M. M. Keeravaani and Chandrabose is the first Indian film to win the Academy Award in the best original song category.

Other nominees in the category included "Applause" from "Tell It Like a Woman," "Hold My Hand" from "Top Gun: Maverick," "Lift Me Up" from "Black Panther: Wakanda Forever" and "This Is a Life" from "Everything Everywhere All at Once."

"Top Gun: Maverick" won the Oscar for best sound.

Other nominees in the category included "All Quiet on the Western Front," "Avatar: The Way of Water," "The Batman" and "Elvis."

Sarah Polley won the Academy Award for best adapted screenplay for "Women Talking."

"First of all, I just want to thank the academy for not being mortally offended by the words 'women' and 'talking' put so close together like that," Polley said in her acceptance speech.

Polley said the film, which is based on the 2018 novel by Miriam Toews, shows a world where people who "don't agree on every single issue manage to sit together in a room and carve out a way together, free of violence."

She added, "They do so not just by talking, but also by listening."

"The last line of our film is delivered by a young woman to a new baby, and she says, 'Your story will be different from ours.' It's a promise, a commitment, and an anchor, and it's what I would like to say with all my might to my three kids ... as they make their way through this complicated, beautiful world," Polley concluded.

Other nominees in the category included Edward Berger, Lesley Paterson and Ian Stokell for "All Quiet on the Western Front"; Rian Johnson for "Glass Onion: A Knives Out Mystery"; Kazuo Ishiguro for "Living"; and Ehren Kruger, Eric Warren Singer and Christopher McQuarrie, with a story by Peter Craig and Justin Marks, for "Top Gun: Maverick."
