Oscars 2023 – as it happened: Angela Bassett snubbed as Hugh Grant wins most awkward interview exchange

Colin Farrell appeared to call out Saturday Night Live at the 2023 Oscars.

The actor was one of many celebrities in the star-studded crowd at the 95th Academy Awards, which took place at the Dolby Theatre in Los Angeles on Sunday (12 March).

Farrell, who was in contention for the Best Actor award for his role in The Banshees of Inisherin, was approached during the ceremony by host Jimmy Kimmel, who relayed to him a “fan question”.

Oscars presenter Hugh Grant jokingly called himself “basically a scrotum”.

The actor appeared alongside Andie MacDowell to present the Oscar for Production Design. The German war film All Quiet on the Western Front took home the award.

Grant and MacDowell starred opposite one another in Richard Curtis’s 1994 romantic-comedy Four Weddings and a Funeral.

When the pair took to the stage, Grant poked fun at his own appearance while praising MacDowell.

John Travolta was visibly emotional as he introduced the in memoriam segment at this year’s Academy Awards ceremony.

Among those being recognised in the tributes was Olivia Newton-John, who starred alongside Travolta in the musical classic Grease.

Introducing the late celebrities being celebrated, Travolta said: “Each of them left an indelible mark that shared and informed us. They’ve touched our hearts, they’ve made us smile, and became dear friends, who we we will always remain hopelessly devoted to.”

Angela Bassett was “snubbed” at the Oscars following a surprise win for Jamie Lee Curtis in the Best Supporting Actress category.

During the 2023 ceremony, Everything Everywhere All at Once actor Lee Curtis took home the award for Best Supporting Actress, which drew gasps from the crowd due to the fact Bassett was considered the frontrunner.

In fact, Curtis was the third favourite behind Bassett and Banshees of Inisherin star Kerry Condon, who won the Bafta for Best Supporting Actress earlier this month.

In case you’re playing catchup, here’s the full list of winners at last night’s ceremony.

Andrew Garfield was the recipient of internet commiseration after his shoutout during Jimmy Kimmel’s Oscars opening monologue was met with delayed applause.

Ahead of the celebrations, host Jimmy Kimmel kicked off the evening with a speech about the ceremony and what could be expected from this year’s event.

Unfortunately, while most of the stars he name-checked received big rounds of applause, there was an unusual pause when Garfield got his shout-out as the star of the Spider-Man films.

Nicole Kidman has gone viral after she did some seriously professional posing on the Oscars red carpet on Sunday night (12 March).

The 2023 ceremony – which took place at the Dolby Theatre in Los Angeles – saw big wins for Everything Everywhere All at Once, which took home seven awards, including Best Picture and Best Actress for Michelle Yeoh.

Kidman, who was a Best Actress nominee last year for her performance in Being the Ricardos, attended this year’s event with her husband of 17 years, Keith Urban.

In footage that has gone viral on Twitter overnight, Kidman can be seen throwing her long blonde hair down over her shoulder and looking up at the camera with smokey eyes.

While there was controversy over an apparently last-minute change to the Oscars carpet colour this year, Rihanna made a typical statement by doing exactly what she felt like doing, as usual.

While most stars wore tuxedos, suits and flowing gowns to the prestigious ceremony, she turned up in a T-shirt, trainers and bucket hat.

As one fan put it: “She’s a mood.”
