kinetic, adventurous, independent american film, everything everywhere all at once, took home how many of hollywood's coveted golden trophies. best motion picture of the year. everything everywhere all at once was the big winner, taking home the top best picture trophy and prevailing in six other catagories. for its creators, both 35, daniel scheinert and daniel kwan, who also won for best director and original screenplay, it was a night they would never for get. mom, just wait. no time to wait, very busy. this energetic film has michelle yeoh playing a laundromat owner struggling to pay her taxes and moves into different versions of herself in parallel universes. this is michelle yeoh�*s film, and she made history by becoming the first asian woman to win the best actress oscar. asian actors have historically faced resistance in hollywood.

for all the little boys and girls who look like me watching tonight, dream big and dreams do come true. and, ladies, don't let anybody tell you you are ever past your prime. nevergive up! cheering mrs wang, are you with us? i am paying attention. both michelle yeoh�*s co—stars jamie lee curtis and ke huy quan — who made it big as a child actor in 1984 but then struggled to get roles — won in the supporting acting categories. myjourney started on a boat. i spent a year in a refugee camp. and somehow, i ended up here, on hollywood's biggest stage. this, this is the american dream. everything everywhere all at once is refreshing cinema, not streamlined and corporate, but idiosyncratic and original.

it certainly got a lot of love from the academy. everyone was cheering and rooting for this movie. why were they so invested in it, why did they care so much? and it was really because they related to the family comedy, to the way that the immigrant community bonded and figured out their problems, and people were really moved by the poignancy of the mother/daughter relationship. it covered all sorts of fronts without ever preaching. people are amazing. one of the big comeback stories of the night was brendan fraser winning best actor for his portrayal of an obese teacher reconnecting with his daughter in the whale trying to reconnect with an estranged daughter. who would want me to be part of their life? fraser had been a big star in hollywood 30 years ago but getting leading roles had become tough. the whale proved he had

the talent to deliver an expert portrayal. i need to know that i have done one thing right with my life! each winning actor had a narrative carefully honed by oscar campaign strategists to ensure maximum impact on oscar voters. parties were held around town on oscars night. the irish consul general held a lively viewing event. ireland's much loved the banshees of inisherin walked away in empty handed. so did baz luhrmann�*s elvis. steven spielberg's the fablemans. family, hot. and todd fields�* tar. there were irish victories, though, in visual effects and for best live—action short, with an irish goodbye, the story of two brothers, set in northern ireland. i'm not getting stuck here for the rest of my life, mothering you. the general view among partygoers was that this had been a good oscars. it was absolutely fantastic. i loved it. i think the irish should have won a few more prizes, but it was fantastic. i really loved it.

i thought it was really diverse, and that sparked a lot of feeling and emotion for me. i think it's a little bit disappointing, from my expectation, anyway. i thought colin farrell was definitely going to get best actor because i thought he was well liked as well as what he's done. ironically, the two films that were said to have saved hollywood, two big box office juggernauts, took homejust one trophy each. best sound went to top gun: maverick, and best visual effects to avatar: the way of water. while this year's oscars contest was indicative of greater inclusivity, black nominees and female film—makers were largely sidelined. overall, i would rate this as a quite solid oscars, but only 18 million viewers tuned into the ceremony in the us — not enough. the academy still needs to reimagine the event so it reaches a younger audience. everything everywhere

all at once�*s night of oscar triumph is really good news for the asian—american community. historically in hollywood, largely because of racism, they've been shut out of good roles, good jobs in the industry, and we really haven't heard their stories. this may change. emma jones tells us more. an oscar win that's been a long time coming. what malaysian—born michelle yeoh�*s win means beyond hollywood, as only the second woman of color to get a best actress oscar in 95 years, was demonstrated at a viewing party in kuala lumpur, with yeoh�*s mother present. the 60—year—old actress dedicated her award to the asian community. tonight, we frigging broke that glass ceiling. i kung—fu'd out and shattered it. and we need this because there are so many who have felt

unseen and unheard. this is notjust the asian community. this is for the asian community, but for anybody who's been identified as a minority. we deserve to be heard. we deserve to be seen. we deserve to have the equal opportunity so we can have a seat at the table. nothing can stop the momentum of everything everywhere all at once tonight. they made a clean sweep of nearly all the major categories, including, of course, the all—important best picture. but will everything everywhere�*s oscar night victory be tra nsformative? will it lead to more asian narratives? i chose to raise a family. for me, it was a privilege. but for you, you may think it's old fashioned. 2018's crazy rich asians is often the movie cited as being the catalyst for change when it comes to telling asian stories. the clutch of oscars for everything everywhere at the most high—profile entertainment ceremony in the world is significant. it's a great platform to highlight the emergence of more asian—american

actors in film. but even more importantly, we're helping to change the hearts and minds of the american public. and culture is a very powerful way to do that. a further step forward would be for asians to be leading stories that aren't just about their community. we're mostly starring in programmes like crazy rich asians, where we are mostly among other asian americans. there's really still a lack of asian—american leads in productions or movies or tv shows where it's a multiracial cast. everything everywhere was dreamed of by the daniels for a decade before it got made. and they, like yeoh, are a lesson in perseverance. so is ke huy quan, winning best supporting actor for his part as evelyn wang's husband. there was just not a lot of opportunities for asian actors. stepping away wasn't an easy thing for me to do. i was lost. i was very confused for quite some years.

i buried the acting bug for a long, long time until i saw a little movie... your family is rich. we're comfortable. ..called crazy rich asians. you nasty, you got nasty. i noticed the landscape was changing. michelle yeoh and ke huy quan�*s oscar victories are lessons in staying the course, but it's been a necessary quality for them in order to navigate an industry that hasn't offered its fair share of stories to them to tell, or to actors who look like them. everything everywhere�*s stunning oscar wins ends this film's adventure. for others, the story isjust beginning. historically, the academy awards has tended to celebrate american cinema, but this year, it felt a bit different, a bit more inclusive, more international. india went into the ceremony with three nominations, and it won two trophies, and that was a real shot in the arm for indian cinema.

naatu naatu, an exuberant musical number from the telugu—language epic action drama rrr winning for best original song was a sweet victory for india, bringing forthjubilation in hollywood and india. the movie, one of the most expensive indian films ever made, has become a huge international hit, grossing around $160 million worldwide. its director, ss rajamouli, was a very happy man. i make movies for indians in india and across the globe, but the kind of reception it had in america, or in the western world, is something that that has never been achieved by any other indian film, ever. rrr isn't mumbai—centred, hindi—language bollywood cinema. it's a movie in telugu,

from tollywood, in south india. and the oscars endorsement, on top of the film's box office success, is giving hollywood a bit of a wake—up call, showing there are other ways of bringing audiences film fa ntasy. there's something about rrr that's appealing to people that goes beyond the parameters of south asian cinema and allows it to just feel like universal escapism. and also, i think a lot of audiences are starved of good escapism. we have so many marvel movies, we have so many star wars movies, and that sort of storytelling has started to feel kind of redundant. this is an original, big spectacle, and it'sjust really exciting to see that in a movie theatre setting. india's other oscar night victory was for the elephant whisperers, a story set in a rescue camp for orphaned elephants, which won for best documentary short. and india was also nominated for its feature—length documentary all that breathes, the story of two brothers who care for black kite birds, which drop every day

from delhi's smog—polluted skies. in a way, it's an ecological, sociopolitical and a kind of emotional story around delhi, through the relationship of two brothers, these two muslim men, and this one particular bird of prey, this raptor called the black kite. and through it, we unravel these kinds of different currents of the city ecologically, sociopolitically and emotionally. all that breathes director shaunak sen thinks that india's documentaries getting oscars recognition by way of a trophy or a nomination shows the country's nonfiction film movement is really developing. i think it's undeniable that there is a moment right now where indian docs, especially in the last few years, have done very well. film—makers have gone and really learned the ropes in terms of how to work the industry, how to secure the resources, and in terms of film grammar. having said that, i don't want to have a kind of simple—minded, euphoric optimism about this moment. we're still completely bogged down by a tonne of problems

of infrastructure and dissemination and so on. so, i mean, i'm cautiously and very guardedly optimistic. india's first foreign language film oscar nomination came in 1958, with mother india, a story of a woman trying to raise her sons amid poverty. since then, india, which boasts the world's most prolific movie industry, has only secured two other foreign language film nominations. part of the reason why india has been passed over is because of the inward—looking nature of the academy, which may now be changing. rrr and the elephant whisperers' victories could mark a turning point, the beginning, perhaps, of a new era in which indian cinema is more enthusiastically celebrated at the academy awards. the german—language anti—war film all quiet on the western front had a good night at the oscars. it won for best international feature and in three other

categories. it didn't do quite as well as it did at the bafta awards last month, where it took home seven trophies, but it nevertheless made its mark at the oscars ceremony, as emma jones tells us. when europe is again experiencing war, this time in ukraine, the resonance of all quiet on the western front isn't surprising. this new adaptation of erich maria remarque�*s 1920s anti—war novel got a total of nine oscar nominations and scooped best international feature, cinematography, original score and production design. backstage, director edward berger used his award to highlight support for those displaced by the war in ukraine. i think it's our responsibility, especially in germany, to help others that now seek refuge, also from the ukraine, just to give back in terms of what was given to us. people also being embraced in america that had to flee germany in the second

world war especially. the movie, made for a relatively modest $20 million on a film set outside prague, in central europe, stars austrian actor felix kammerer, who plays paul, a raw, young german recruit sent out to battle in the last, horrifying days of world war one. renowned german actor daniel bruhl plays a politician negotiating the 1918 armistice. it's a war film made from the perspective of the losing side. american, english and french films with that perspective, absolutely legit. but being german, from our side, ifound it interesting to make a film that does not glorify war in any second and does not have that tone, but is very bleak and very direct. the film was made before

the russian invasion of ukraine, but edward berger says it was a sense of populism increasing in the west that convinced him it was time to retell remarque�*s story, which was first adapted into film in 1930 and won a best picture oscar then. those were very, very big shoes to fill and also a huge hurdle to overcome. i really had massive doubts if i should make this movie, but then i felt, all right, this movie hasn't been done in 90 years, and especially it hasn't been done in german, in its original language. and i thought, let's do it, let's try it. we can only fail. and luckily, we were rewarded with an oscar. it's the story of events of a century ago, set in the trenches of europe. nevertheless, all quiet on the western front resonated with academy voters a world away, here in america, even if the film hasn't had quite the same acclaim at home. i think there's a feeling amongst german critics that the movie sort of lacks

seriousness, that it's taken a very beloved german text, a sort of foundation of german pacifism, and turned it into a kind of cheap, hollywood entertainment. but a quadruple oscar win is huge news for german film and a continuation of parasite�*s 2020 oscar wins, showing subtitles are no longer a barrierfor big gains at the oscars. this year's oscars documentary feature category had some strong contenders. but navalny, which revealed how kremlin operatives had poisoned russian opposition leader alexei navalny, won the trophy. it's an oscars night victory which has emboldened navalny�*s supporters, but it's been dismissed by the kremlin. alan moloney watched as the director took home the trophy. at a time when russia has barely been out of the news, it wasn't a great surprise to see navalny emerge triumphant in the best

documentary feature category. remarkably, vladimir putin faces a legitimate opponent, alexei navalny. the film follows russian opposition politician alexei navalny as he, along with journalistic organisation bellingcat, investigates his own poisoning and attempted murder in 2020. what? come on, poisoned? seriously. the picture features unique access to navalny, as well as a jaw—dropping sequence where the team prank call members of the assassination squad, trying to get them to confess to their part in the hit. it's essentially a 50—minute confession by one of the people who was involved with the assassination attempt spelling out something very important, that the goal was to kill and not to scare. one of these people actually confessed on camera, and we have it in the film, that they tried to kill navalny.

navalny returned to russia after the poisoning and was subsequently arrested. he remains in prison there. his family were at the academy award ceremony to help celebrate the film. the primary reason why we're here is to get my dad out of prison, and i'm very happy that the movie is getting the attention that it deserves, the work that we've been doing for so long is getting the attention it deserves, and we're here to do a job and to get my dad out. director daniel roher hopes that an oscar will keep navalny�*s name in the spotlight, as well as put pressure on vladimir putin to release him. i am out here every single day talking about navalny because he is in a very dangerous place right now. he is in a solitary confinement cell, languishing at the behest of this regime. and i believe that there's a correlation between talking about him and promoting his name and keeping him in the global consciousness and his survival and longevity. and all of the awards and these extraordinary honours seek to further that goal. the kremlin responded to the film's win by claiming

it showed the politicisation of hollywood. but will an academy award and even the worldwide press that that brings make any difference to president putin's treatment of navalny and other opposition figures? we know already that president putin is personally annoyed by this document of history and what the film has achieved. this illustrates that the kremlin is upset and frustrated by the extraordinary work he's doing. and how that work was captured and shown to the world. but is putin going to be watching the academy awards? i'm not sure if he watches the academy awards. as a film, navalny works almost like a political thriller, making its point while also being a supremely entertaining watch. it's fair to say that it proved a very popular winner on the night. well, that brings our special talking movies review of the 95th annual academy awards to a close. we hope you enjoyed our programme. well, i'm joined by our beloved talking movies team, al moloney and emma jones.

now, al, this is yourfirst time covering an oscars ceremony. you came to los angeles expecting sunshine, it rained. but how was it for you, being at the oscars? well, i have to say, i watched it from a pretty good place. i was at the irish consul�*s residence, and we have to say the record 1a nominations for irish film and artists didn't quite get a huge amount of winners. only came out with two winners, but it was a good night, i think, for the irish film industry. women talking getting best adapted screenplay was a great moment. that was quite unexpected. it wasn't a night of surprises, that was a surprise. it was a wonderful surprise for me. i think that film deserved more recognition. and i think the donkey! so, there was a moment when jimmy kimmel brought a donkey on stage. this isjenny. she is one of the stars i of banshees of inisherin. you know, i'm a sucker for an animal moment. that was great. well, i have to say, for me, i think one of the big moments about the oscars, or takeaways, is how well indian cinema did.

it won for best documentary short for the elephant whisperers, but also rrr won for best original song. and that song, i absolutely adore. talking movies viewers around the world, do you naatu? what is naatu ? singing in telugu

it has been a heavy start to the weekend. it has been wet in a number of places which have already seen more rainfall than we normally see in the whole of the month, even though we are already halfway through march. and looking at the weather picture over the next five days it is going to stay very unsettled with further heavy outbreaks of rain. the weather particularly wet across western, and especially north—western areas of the country. on saturday it wasn't just a heavy downpours we saw but this final cloud over the west midlands. it looks really close actually being tornado. that final cloud from these showers that worked their way across the west midlands. they push their way eastwards across the east midlands as well. we have something of a change to the weather pattern on sunday, a few mist and fog patches and some high pressure with us for the morning, so probably the nicest part of the weekend early sunday with some sunny spells widely. out west it will

cloud over, we're looking at breaks of rain spreading into northern ireland. that will probably western scotland, and wales and western areas of england towards the end of the day. temperatures for the most part mild, 10—13 so a little bit above average for most. through sunday night we have more rain on the cards, that sweeps into northern ireland, through parts of scotland, england and wales. the rain in its most persistent in northern ireland and northern england as well. with all that cloud around as you can imagine it will be a frost free night, temperatures around 4— 8 celsius. into the early part of the new week low pressure will stay close to the north—west of the uk, firing in pulses of heavy rain and with brisk winds and the forecast as well. it is and the forecast as well. it is a particular unsettled —looking weather pattern. the heaviest rain will be to the western side of the uk and i think for monday particularly for western areas of scotland. he said areas of scotland. he said areas of scotland. he said areas of england probably not so much in the way of rain, i wouldn't promise it stays dry but there is not that much in

the way of rain totals building up. temperatures still 13—111, so mild again. for tuesday, probably the worst of the rain clearing through for the morning, followed by sunshine and showers, some of those heavy with thunder, the next weather system working it's too western areas as we go through tuesday afternoon. tuesday night looks like it is going to be a wet night for most of us, the rain band slow moving across scotland into wednesday, but elsewhere we are looking day of sunshine and heavy, thundery showers. the showers look to be widespread, some of the heavier showers could have held mixed in as well. but for the most part temperatures staying in double figures, the exception the northernmost areas of scotland. the thursday we have cold air coming back and across scotland, it is still mild where south—westerly winds hang on across england and wales, they will be some larger temperature contrasts building and later in the week. with that, some of the showers in scotland could start to turn

wintry, especially over the higher hills, but across england, wales or northern ireland it looks like it says mild for the most part with temperatures still 12— 15 celsius. again it is unsettled so expect further downpours at times. friday, next weekend, it looks like it stays unsettled with further bursts of rain and for the most part temperatures just coming down a little bit by a few degrees, probablyjust slipping below average. those rainfall totals really mounting up rainfall totals really mounting up in the week ahead, i think march is going to be a very wet month.
