In this bonus episode of Hot off the Wire, we look back at some of the top headlines from the week in the world of sports and entertainment.
With a Best Picture announcement from Harrison Ford, “Everything Everywhere All at Once” put the finishing touches on a dominating night at the 95th Academy Awards. The film scored 7 Oscars out of 11 nominations.
Besides best picture, the collective known as The Daniels – Daniel Kwan and Daniel Scheinert – won Best Director and Best Original Screenplay. Michelle Yeoh took the Award for Best Actress with a message of perseverance. Jamie Lee Curtis earned Best Supporting Actress with a nod to her Hollywood roots. And Ke Huy Quan, a child actor who struggled to find roles as an adult, acknowledged that difficult period in an emotional best supporting actor speech.
Even Brendan Frazier, who won Best Actor for his role in “The Whale,” gave a nod to “Everything” when he accepted his award. And while the results of the Oscars are a closely guarded secret until each winner is announced, Jimmy Kimmel’s opening monologue foreshadowed a couple of big wins.
My co-host on the Streamed & Screened podcast is longtime entertainment reporter and film critic Bruce Miller, who offered his thoughts on “Everything’s” big night on our post-Oscars episode.
