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

Daniel Kwan and Daniel Scheinert won the Oscar for best director for their film "Everything Everywhere All at Once."

The directors, known collectively as the Daniels, each dedicated their win to their parents.

"Thank you for not squashing my creativity when I was making really disturbing horror films or really perverted comedy films or dressing in drag as a kid, which is a threat to nobody," Scheinert said.

Kwan thanked his father for passing down a love of movies to him and his mother for giving him a "creative heart."

Other directors nominated for the award included Martin McDonagh for "The Banshees of Inisherin," Steven Spielberg for "The Fabelmans," Todd Field for "Tár" and Ruben Östlund for "Triangle of Sadness."

"Everything Everywhere All at Once" won the Academy Award for best film editing on Sunday. Editor Paul Rogers accepted the statuette, sharing with the audience that it was only his second feature film.

The other four films nominated in the category included "The Banshees of Inisherin," "Elvis," "Tár" and "Top Gun: Maverick."

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."
