"content": "\u003cp>Sean Wang is having an awesome start to his year. The 30-year-old filmmaker from Fremont is nominated for his first Academy Award at this weekend’s Oscars ceremony for Best Documentary Short Film. Wang’s 17-minute documentary \u003cem>Nǎi Nai & Wài Pó\u003c/em> (\u003cem>Grandma & Grandma\u003c/em>), available to stream on on Disney+ and Hulu, sweetly captures the daily routines of his two grandmothers who live together in Fremont.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Before getting that golden news from the Academy, Wang debuted his first feature film, \u003cem>\u003ca href=\"https://www.focusfeatures.com/article/didi_date-announcement\">Dìdi\u003c/a>\u003c/em>, at the Sundance Festival.

This experience has overlapped with premiering my first feature film, so it’s two incredible experiences happening at the same time. It really is beyond my wildest dreams.

I’m a younger sibling; all of my cousins in the States are older than me. For a lot of my early years, my interests and my identity was looking at them and what they liked. But then I discovered skating when I was 12 or 13 years old, and that was just a very pure love. It was something that was really my own.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Through skating, I got into photography and videos and filming my friends. I started making \u003ca href=\"https://youtu.be/bJxl7xJh46I?si=HWYSsNh_yxeCqiLV\">little documentaries\u003c/a>, and that was like a buzz for me. I was excited about putting it on YouTube, but I didn’t really have the language for it – that it was “filmmaking.” I just really loved doing it.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=bJxl7xJh46I\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>When I graduated high school, that was the first real fork in the road, where it’s like, \u003cem>okay, is there a career doing this\u003c/em>? Growing up in Fremont, there just isn’t that language. I didn’t know any other filmmakers. There were no examples that I could really follow. But I knew that whatever this was, it was a very pure love. I ended up at De Anza [Community College] for two years, and the intention was to transfer to a film school and that’s what happened.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>Let’s talk about your Oscar-nominated film. There’s a part when Wài Pó says, “in the future, you can show your children what we were like.” That really struck me. My family just laid my grandmother to rest a few weeks ago. So watching your grandmothers made me think about my own, and it’s really cool that you’ll get to have this memory of them after they are gone. I’m guessing that was at least part of the motivation and inspiration behind it? Did you go into it thinking about a short film, or were you just wanting to capture memories?\u003c/strong>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Thank you for sharing that with me. It was both, I think. The catalyst for the film was just wanting to film them and make \u003cem>something\u003c/em>. I moved to New York City after I graduated college and lived there for about 5 or 6 years. Then in the spring of 2021, I moved home to the Bay Area, and in that period of living with them, there was so much joy. I really got to see my grandmothers and experience day-to-day life with them.\u003c/p>\n\u003cfigure id=\"attachment_13953491\" class=\"wp-caption aligncenter\" style=\"max-width: 1600px\">\u003cimg loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"size-full wp-image-13953491\" src=\"https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/2/2024/03/NaiNaiWaiPo-Film-Still-Edit.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"1600\" height=\"1208\" srcset=\"https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/2/2024/03/NaiNaiWaiPo-Film-Still-Edit.jpg 1600w, https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/2/2024/03/NaiNaiWaiPo-Film-Still-Edit-800x604.jpg 800w, https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/2/2024/03/NaiNaiWaiPo-Film-Still-Edit-1020x770.jpg 1020w, https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/2/2024/03/NaiNaiWaiPo-Film-Still-Edit-160x121.jpg 160w, https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/2/2024/03/NaiNaiWaiPo-Film-Still-Edit-768x580.jpg 768w, https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/2/2024/03/NaiNaiWaiPo-Film-Still-Edit-1536x1160.jpg 1536w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 1600px) 100vw, 1600px\">\u003cfigcaption class=\"wp-caption-text\">From left, filmmaker Sean Wang’s ‘Wài Pó,’ Chang Li Hua, and ‘Nǎi Nai,’ Yi Yan Fuei, in a still from the Oscar-nominated documentary short film ‘Nǎi Nai & Wài Pó.’ \u003ccite>(Courtesy Disney+)\u003c/cite>\u003c/figcaption>\u003c/figure>\n\u003cp>But there was also this extreme anger and helplessness that a lot of people were feeling at that time with Covid, and with the rise in anti-Asian violence that was happening to people like my grandmothers, and people in our community.

And how can we use that and create art?”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The antidote to the anger was their joy. I wanted to make a film that was a container for all of their humanity, their joy, their silliness, their infectious, childlike energy, but also their pain and their lives that they lived before they were my grandmothers. And create a holistic portrait of that to show just how human they are, in a way that I felt people were overlooking in our society.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>But to what you were saying, at the end of the day, there was this home video mentality that we brought to it, where I just wanted to remember them and remember this moment that I had with them.

There’s a moment where Wài Pó was talking about, “I’m not afraid of death.” You can tell she’s thinking about mortality in those moments and you can see it in her eyes – not just the pain, but the humanity. And she takes a little sigh, and that moment always gutted me.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>[ad alignright]\u003cstrong>What’s the feeling amongst your family in terms of this accomplishment, and all the excitement going into the Oscars? \u003c/strong>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>They’re all excited.

Growing up in Fremont, there just isn’t that language. I didn’t know any other filmmakers. There were no examples that I could really follow. But I knew that whatever this was, it was a very pure love. I ended up at De Anza [Community College] for two years, and the intention was to transfer to a film school and that’s what happened.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>Let’s talk about your Oscar-nominated film. There’s a part when Wài Pó says, “in the future, you can show your children what we were like.” That really struck me. My family just laid my grandmother to rest a few weeks ago. So watching your grandmothers made me think about my own, and it’s really cool that you’ll get to have this memory of them after they are gone. I’m guessing that was at least part of the motivation and inspiration behind it? Did you go into it thinking about a short film, or were you just wanting to capture memories?\u003c/strong>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Thank you for sharing that with me. It was both, I think. The catalyst for the film was just wanting to film them and make \u003cem>something\u003c/em>. I moved to New York City after I graduated college and lived there for about 5 or 6 years. Then in the spring of 2021, I moved home to the Bay Area, and in that period of living with them, there was so much joy.

There’s a moment where Wài Pó was talking about, “I’m not afraid of death.” You can tell she’s thinking about mortality in those moments and you can see it in her eyes – not just the pain, but the humanity.

"content": "\u003cp>Given the commercial and awards dominance of \u003cem>Barbie\u003c/em>‘s soundtrack — which was, if you remember, the most-nominated album at this year’s Grammys — you’d be forgiven for thinking that this year’s race for the best original song Oscar boils down to Fun Barbie (Ryan Gosling’s “I’m Just Ken”) vs. Pensive Barbie (Billie Eilish’s “What Was I Made For?”). But the field has even more going for it than that, from a lovely Jon Batiste ballad to a moving piece by the Osage Tribal Singers to … well, the umpteenth nomination for songwriter Diane Warren, and even \u003cem>that\u003c/em> song isn’t terrible!\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>This is the sixth year I’ve ranked the nominated songs for NPR — here’s \u003ca href=\"https://www.npr.org/2023/03/06/1155451988/the-2023-oscars-best-original-song-nominees-cruelly-ranked\">2023\u003c/a>, \u003ca href=\"https://www.npr.org/2023/02/07/1083945317/the-2022-oscars-best-original-song-nominees-cruelly-ranked\">2022\u003c/a>, \u003ca href=\"https://www.npr.org/2021/04/21/987253460/the-2021-oscars-best-original-song-nominees-cruelly-ranked\">2021\u003c/a>, \u003ca href=\"https://www.npr.org/2020/02/07/803636380/the-2020-oscars-best-original-song-nominees-cruelly-ranked\">2020\u003c/a> and \u003ca href=\"https://www.npr.org/2019/02/23/697103948/the-2019-oscars-best-original-song-nominees-cruelly-ranked\">2019\u003c/a> — and this is one of the better fields all around. So let’s tee ’em up, in ascending order of quality.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>5. “The Fire Inside,” \u003c/strong>\u003cem>\u003cstrong>Flamin’ Hot\u003c/strong>\u003c/em>\u003cstrong>, performed by Becky G (Diane Warren, songwriter)\u003c/strong>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>It’s hard to devise new ways to say that a Diane Warren composition gets nominated in this category every single year, invariably at the expense of superior songs. She’s locked into an eternal paradox: enough institutional support for a seventh consecutive nomination (!!), never enough juice to win.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>[aside postid='arts_13953424']So here we are, yet again, pondering Doomed Nomination No. 15 and thanking our lucky stars that “The Fire Inside” is actually … decent, as recent-vintage Diane Warren songs go. Lyrically, it’s just another slice of quasi-inspirational, nominally defiant boilerplate, dragged down by couplets that would cause a generative AI program to resign in embarrassment (“They will think they can stop you / But there’s no stopping you”). Rise, stand, fight, you got this, they can’t hold you back, blah blah blah, seriously, \u003cem>have ChatGPT and Diane Warren ever been seen in the same room together?\u003c/em>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>[ad fullwidth]\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Musically, “The Fire Inside” is an effervescent and thoroughly inoffensive trifle, brought home by a charismatic vocal from Becky G. As a whole, this is probably Warren’s best Oscar-nominated song since 2015’s “Til It Happens to You” (a Lady Gaga collaboration that should have beaten Sam Smith’s “Writing’s on the Wall”), which is at least saying something. Just, you know, not \u003cem>much\u003c/em>. Had \u003cem>Flamin’ Hot\u003c/em> never existed — and how sad it would have been for the world to be denied Eva Longoria’s sub-featherweight brand-fluffing biopic! — Warren would have just gotten nominated for “\u003ca href=\"https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=58BzTRqQt4Y\">Gonna Be You\u003c/a>” from \u003cem>80 for Brady\u003c/em>.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=COXSy3rp6Vc\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>4. “Wahzhazhe (A Song for My People),” \u003c/strong>\u003cem>\u003cstrong>Killers of the Flower Moon\u003c/strong>\u003c/em>\u003cstrong>, performed by Osage Tribal Singers (Scott George, songwriter)\u003c/strong>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Maybe I’m riding high on the thrill of not having to write about Diane Warren for another 12 months, but this is a strong field! Next up is “Wahzhazhe (A Song for My People),” which closes Martin Scorsese’s epic \u003cem>Killers of the Flower Moon\u003c/em> — and pointedly gives the Osage Nation the last word. An unconventional entry in a field typically reserved for English-language songs by well-known artists, “Wahzhazhe” had an unusual number of hurdles to clear in order to get nominated, starting with the fact that it had \u003ca href=\"https://www.billboard.com/music/awards/oscar-2024-nominations-music-best-original-song-score-1235604053/\">never been written down\u003c/a> prior to submission.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The first Native American nominated for best original song, songwriter Scott George crafted a rousing work that transcends its place in a movie’s closing credits: It’s a work of celebration that suits its moment in the film while speaking to the Osage Nation’s resilience in the face of systemic discrimination and murder. And it’ll surely sound terrific when performed on Oscar night, which is just one more reason among many to cheer its inclusion.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=nyWCr1ly4oc\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>3. “It Never Went Away,” \u003c/strong>\u003cem>\u003cstrong>American Symphony\u003c/strong>\u003c/em>\u003cstrong>, performed by Jon Batiste (Jon Batiste and Dan Wilson, songwriters)\u003c/strong>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cem>American Symphony\u003c/em> documents 2021 Oscar winner Jon Batiste’s efforts to write a symphony while his wife, bestselling author Suleika Jaouad, battled leukemia. As documentaries go, it’s moving without being terribly revealing — which can also be said for the Oscar-nominated ballad that plays over the film’s closing credits. But the gorgeous piano line that propels “It Never Went Away” sure does hit hard, as Batiste serenades his wife in a lullaby of devotion.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Unlike so many Oscar-nominated closing-credits songs before it, “It Never Went Away” feels richly connected to the themes of the movie preceding it. The words Batiste sings aren’t exactly novel — “Thought I was a wise lad / When you plan, God laughs” — but the song as a whole beautifully captures the experience of love as an accumulation of hard-won moments, forged in shared sacrifice.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=27jnCQYRXLc\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>2. “I’m Just Ken,” \u003c/strong>\u003cem>\u003cstrong>Barbie\u003c/strong>\u003c/em>\u003cstrong>, performed by Ryan Gosling (Mark Ronson and Andrew Wyatt, songwriters)\u003c/strong>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>It’s virtually impossible to choose which eligible \u003cem>Barbie\u003c/em> song most deserves this year’s Oscar: You could make a strong case for both nominated songs, as well as Dua Lipa’s effervescent “\u003ca href=\"https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=OiC1rgCPmUQ\">Dance the Night\u003c/a>,” which was shortlisted but missed the cut. (These days, Oscar rules stipulate that no more than two songs can be nominated from a single film.)\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>[aside postid='arts_13931753']So, seriously, think of Ryan Gosling’s wild, joke-dense “I’m Just Ken” as No. 1a more than No. 2 — though it does seem fitting that poor Ken would be relegated to second place yet again. Part inspirational battle anthem, \u003ca href=\"https://www.kqed.org/arts/13953424/film-critics-oscars-alternative-awards-best-movie-dog-stunt-cameo-song\">part dream ballet\u003c/a>, part ’80s power-ballad pastiche, “I’m Just Ken” soundtracks one of \u003cem>Barbie\u003c/em>‘s many key scenes, advancing the plot even as it dispenses catchphrases (“Can you feel the Kenergy?”) and asks the questions so many of us have asked of ourselves (“Am I not hot when I’m in my feelings?”).\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Though “What Was I Made For?” remains this year’s likely winner, it wouldn’t be a massive shock if “I’m Just Ken” were to rise up and snatch the Oscar from its more somber \u003cem>Barbie\u003c/em> counterpart. The song pulls off a genuinely awesome feat: a grand and clever piece of comedic spectacle that is, among other superlatives, great at doing stuff. And, if you’re not grateful for “I’m Just Ken” now, just wait until it shows up to enliven a three-and-a-half-hour Oscars telecast.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=wwux9KiBMjE\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>1. “What Was I Made For?,” \u003c/strong>\u003cem>\u003cstrong>Barbie\u003c/strong>\u003c/em>\u003cstrong>, performed by Billie Eilish (Billie Eilish and Finneas O’Connell, songwriters)\u003c/strong>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>I’m never going to fault anyone for choosing jokes over feelings, so you’re more than forgiven if you prefer “I’m Just Ken” to “What Was I Made For?” But, \u003cem>man\u003c/em>, this is a gorgeous song: melodically rich, a radiant vocal performance from Billie Eilish, a compelling way to magnify the pathos in \u003cem>Barbie\u003c/em>‘s story of self-awakening, and an actual chart hit to boot.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>[aside postid='arts_13931981']It’s worth noting once again how often the Oscars’ best original song field gets dominated by songs that roll harmlessly over closing credits — and, more to the point, that fail to convey or reflect on what their films were trying to say. This season, only the Diane Warren song really falls short in that regard; though they play over their respective credits, “Wahzhazhe (A Song for My People)” could only come from \u003cem>Killers of the Flower Moon\u003c/em> and “It Never Went Away” could only come from \u003cem>American Symphony\u003c/em>. That’s a big step up from most years, which says nothing of how integral “I’m Just Ken” and “What Was I Made For?” are to \u003cem>Barbie\u003c/em>.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Last year’s Oscar field produced one of the best and most satisfying winners this category has ever produced in “\u003ca href=\"https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=OsU0CGZoV8E\">Naatu Naatu\u003c/a>” from \u003cem>RRR\u003c/em>.

An unconventional entry in a field typically reserved for English-language songs by well-known artists, “Wahzhazhe” had an unusual number of hurdles to clear in order to get nominated, starting with the fact that it had \u003ca href=\"https://www.billboard.com/music/awards/oscar-2024-nominations-music-best-original-song-score-1235604053/\">never been written down\u003c/a> prior to submission.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The first Native American nominated for best original song, songwriter Scott George crafted a rousing work that transcends its place in a movie’s closing credits: It’s a work of celebration that suits its moment in the film while speaking to the Osage Nation’s resilience in the face of systemic discrimination and murder.

The song pulls off a genuinely awesome feat: a grand and clever piece of comedic spectacle that is, among other superlatives, great at doing stuff.

McDonald plays a woman named Miss Hale, and her story of how she got that name is a delicate powerhouse. — J.C.\u003c/p>\n\u003ch2>Most Romantic: ‘The Taste of Things’\u003c/h2>\n\u003cp>There are not many truly romantic films made for big audiences these days.

Largely autobiographical, it tells the story of childhood companions in Seoul who reunite and rekindle in New York years later, landing in a love triangle.

He’s the May to Julianne Moore’s December, with a whole lot of Natalie Portman thrown in.

Jamie Lee Curtis also won for \u003cem>Everything Everywhere All At Once\u003c/em>, but her story could hardly be more different. Born to Oscar-nominated parents Tony Curtis and Janet Leigh, she became a star after \u003cem>Halloween \u003c/em>in 1978, when she was just turning 20 years old. In the 45 years since then, she’s made comedies like \u003cem>Trading Places \u003c/em>and \u003cem>A Fish Called Wanda\u003c/em>, family movies like \u003cem>Freaky Friday \u003c/em>and \u003cem>My Girl\u003c/em>, and — indeed — more horror films.

And she also acknowledged her parents, her family, and the history that she and the film were making. Finally, Brendan Fraser, who had a hot film career as a very handsome young man and then saw the industry’s interest in him wane, leaving a long period of relative quiet before his role in \u003cem>The Whale \u003c/em>this year, won. He’s another example of the many ways Hollywood can abandon or fail to see performers — and sometimes, even if not often, it can find them again.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=JYqYIeCHYAg\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>They really wanted this to be the Comeback Oscars. \u003c/strong>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Host Jimmy Kimmel, in his monologue, talked about 2022 as the year people came back to theaters, two years after COVID upended the movie business. Huge movies, particularly \u003cem>Avatar: The Way of Water\u003c/em> and \u003cem>Top Gun: Maverick\u003c/em>, were both moneymakers and best picture nominees. This year’s message was plain: we’re back. Perhaps it’s fitting that \u003cem>Avatar \u003c/em>won for visual effects and \u003cem>Top Gun: Maverick \u003c/em>for sound — the spectacles won awards that relate, in part, to their status as such.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>[aside postid='arts_13926047']Making this the comeback Oscars was, of course, consistent with the industry’s chosen narrative of rebirth. But it’s also part of the Academy’s effort to revive interest in the ceremony after years of hearing the theory that the ratings were dropping because blockbusters weren’t being nominated. That theory might turn out to be right or it might be wrong, but if this year didn’t do it, then nominating big movies isn’t a solution to the ratings problem as has so often been speculated.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>The Academy’s record when it comes to inclusion remains mixed, at best. \u003c/strong>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The milestones of the night — Michelle Yeoh and Ke Huy Quan being the first and second Asian performers to win in their respective categories was the most widely noted — sat alongside much more dispiriting facts.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=2qxgehkLT9I\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>For instance,\u003ca href=\"https://www.npr.org/2023/02/14/1156555360/black-panther-wakanda-forever-costume-design-ruth-e-carter\"> Ruth Carter, \u003c/a>who won for the costumes in \u003cem>Black Panther: Wakanda Forever\u003c/em>, became the first Black woman ever to win two Oscars, in a year in which Black nominees, particularly outside that one film, were limited. There are countless measures of representation, many more than just these two, and most are still painfully out of balance.

And she also acknowledged her parents, her family, and the history that she and the film were making. Finally, Brendan Fraser, who had a hot film career as a very handsome young man and then saw the industry’s interest in him wane, leaving a long period of relative quiet before his role in \u003cem>The Whale \u003c/em>this year, won.

She said that for years Hollywood boycotted her, calling it being “red-listed.” Finally, nearly 50 years later, the Academy officially apologized to Littlefeather for the abuse she subsequently endured because of her Oscars appearance.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>In 1974, the Oscars audience shrieked when gay activist \u003ca href=\"https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=EWBc-ir6IFM\">Robert Opel dashed across the stage naked\u003c/a>. The streaker prompted presenter David Niven to quip, “Probably the only laugh that man will ever get in his life is by stripping off and showing his shortcomings.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=EWBc-ir6IFM\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>In 1985, \u003ca href=\"https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=u_8nAvU0T5Y\">best actress winner Sally Field\u003c/a> gave one of the Oscars’ most unforgettable speeches. “I can’t deny the fact that you like me,” she gushed. “Right now, you like me!”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Schulman says there have been other cringe moments, like the opening number in 1989, which included \u003ca href=\"https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=9mronRVvdmw\">actor Rob Lowe singing a duet with a live-action Snow White\u003c/a>.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Schulman says the 11-minute, over-the-top opening was a flop for flamboyant producer Allan Carr, who had previously produced the musicals \u003cem>Grease\u003c/em> and \u003cem>La Cage aux Folles\u003c/em>.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“When it went bad, there was a scapegoat effect,” says Schulman. “He was essentially ostracized within days. And he never recovered. It destroyed his career. It destroyed his life.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>In the last decade, the Oscars had a racial reckoning after being criticized for not giving awards to actors and filmmakers of color. \u003ca href=\"https://www.npr.org/2016/01/25/464244160/a-conversation-with-the-creator-of-oscarssowhite\">The #OscarsSoWhite movement\u003c/a> led to this \u003ca href=\"https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=GCQn_FkFElI&t=2s\">2017 mixup\u003c/a>:\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=GCQn_FkFElI&t=2s\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“There was a rookie from Pricewaterhouse that year who was a little too enthusiastic about being backstage with all of the stars and clearly took his mind off his job,” explains Davis. “He handed the presenter the wrong envelope.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>[aside postid='arts_13911018']Onstage, presenter Warren Beatty looked at the envelope puzzled. Then Faye Dunaway announced the final winner of the night: \u003cem>La La Land\u003c/em>.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Producer Jordan Horowitz accepted the award at first, surrounded by his cast. Then, after much confusion onstage, he returned to the mic.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“I’m sorry, no. There’s a mistake: \u003cem>Moonlight\u003c/em>. You guys won best picture,” Horowitz said before showing a card with the correct winner to the cameras. “This is not a joke. \u003cem>Moonlight\u003c/em> has won best picture.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Last year, the winners were overshadowed by a confrontation with best actor nominee \u003ca href=\"https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=myjEoDypUD8\">Will Smith, who strode onstage and smacked presenter Chris Rock \u003c/a>after he had made a joke about Smith’s wife’s hair.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=myjEoDypUD8\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>After delivering the slap seen and heard around the world, Smith sat down in his seat and roared expletives at Rock. Smith won the best actor award for starring in \u003cem>King Richard\u003c/em>, but \u003ca href=\"https://www.npr.org/2022/04/08/1091681181/the-academy-bans-will-smith-for-10-years-for-chris-rock-slap\">the Academy punished him by banning him from its events for 10 years\u003c/a>.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>[ad floatright]\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Schulman says anything can happen during a live event, “Whether it’s a burst of anger with the slap or just something really moving, someone living their dream.” He says so much of the Oscars “are wrapped in this kind of celebrity, like ‘you-like-me’ absurdity, and then boom! Something happens that shocks your system a little bit.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cdiv class=\"fullattribution\">\u003cem>Copyright 2023 NPR.
