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

Michael D Higgins has marked Ireland’s success at the Oscars by hailing a “remarkable” year for the Irish film industry.

The Irish President congratulated those behind An Irish Goodbye which took the award for best short film, as well as Richard Baneham who was among those who won the Oscar for visual effects for Avatar: The Way Of Water.

David Baddiel has weighed in after Hugh Grant was called out on social media for what some called “obnoxious” behaviour on the Oscars red carpet.

The actor, known for his dry sense of humour, was interviewed by model Ashley Graham, at the ceremony last night (12 March).

Graham did not seem prepared for Grant’s very short answers to questions about the Knives Out franchise and what he was wearing to the event.

Posting on Twitter on Monday 13 March, comedian Baddiel wrote: “Those on here having a go at Hugh Grant for being rude on the Oscars red carpet have perhaps mixed up the word rude with the word real.”

Fraser’s win comes after many years out of the spotlight, and for a film that’s proved extremely divisive among viewers...

Viewers of the Academy Awards last night (Sunday 12 March) were in stitches after spotting a hilarious moment involving Nigerian artist Tems.

Tems, whose full name is Temilade Openiyi, arrived at the 2023 Oscars in a flowing white tulle gown, which included a headpiece that circled around her head and shoulders. The dress was designed by LA-based designer Lever Couture.

However, the headpiece proved to be a bit of a problem once Tems left the champagne carpet and took her seat in the crowd.

’You might say going in to bat for a frontrunner is boring and, typically, I’d agree – but when that frontrunner has spent decades as the underdog, boredom is a small price to pay for some overdue validation.’

My colleague Annabel Nugent makes the case for a rare frontrunner that was actually worthy of the top prize at this year’s Oscars.

After Harrison Ford announced Everything Everywhere All at Once as the winner for Best Picture, the entire cast joined him on stage.

Oscar-winning actor Ke Huy Quan embraced his former Indiana Jones co-star in a huge hug, in what many noted was a “full circle moment” to a scene from the 1984 film nearly 40 years ago.
