2023 Oscars Witness Historic Moment

The 2023 Oscars were a historic night that will be remembered for years to come. The Academy Awards had its first-ever all-Black slate of nominees in the four major acting categories, with Viola Davis, Andra Day, Leslie Odom Jr., Chadwick Boseman, and Steven Yeun among those who made history.

In addition to this milestone moment in Hollywood’s long-awaited diversification efforts, the evening was also marked by several other remarkable wins. Daniel Kaluuya won Best Supporting Actor for his portrayal of Fred Hampton in Judas and the Black Messiah; Chloé Zhao became only the second woman ever to win Best Director; Minari earned Lee Isaac Chung an Oscar for the best original screenplay; and Nomadland took home three awards including Best Picture.

This year’s ceremony also featured some powerful moments as well as poignant tributes from presenters like Regina King and Harrison Ford honoring their late co-stars Chadwick Boseman (Ma Rainey’s Black Bottom) and Sean Connery (Indiana Jones). It was a night full of celebration but also one filled with emotion as many paid tribute to those we lost over this past year due to Covid-19 or other causes.

Overall it was an unforgettable evening that set new standards for inclusion within Hollywood while celebrating some truly amazing films from around the world. The 2023 Oscars will remain etched into our memories forevermore!
