The 2023 Oscars was a historical ceremony for so many reasons! This year, Hollywood’s best stepped out on a champagne colored carpet for the first time since 1961. Another history maker: Everything Everywhere All at Once. This multiverse fantasy film dominated the award ceremony by winning seven awards, including the biggest award of the night, Best Picture. Michelle Yeoh also made history as the first Asian woman to win the Oscar for Best Actress. Her co-star, Ke Huy Quan, became the first Vietnam-born actor to win the Oscar for Best Supporting Actor. Their wins marked the first time that multiple Asian actors won Oscars in the same year.
