The 2023 Oscars Ceremony is here again. The movie party organized by the Hollywood Academy delights us, year after year, with iconic moments like Will Smith‘s famous slap last year. With their return, this time more peaceful, they have left some awards for films that certainly deserved it.

In the case of screenplays, the films that triumphed over the rest were Everything Everywhere All at Once and Women Talking, two of the films nominated for Best Picture and both of which have impressive writing. The first film won for original screenplay and the second for adapted screenplay, and they won back-to-back.

The Daniels emerge as the night’s big winners

Undoubtedly, Everything Everywhere All at Once was one of the winners of the night. The film by the Daniels (Dan Kwan and Daniel Scheinert) was the favorite in many categories, and in the screenplay category it deservedly won. The directors, also screenwriters of the feature film, thanked the award without believing it too much, and appealed to their constant “imposter syndrome”.

For its part, the award for Women Talking was even more unexpected, especially considering that it was competing against the film that won almost everything on the night, All Quiet on the Western Front. The film rose above the rest, and filmmaker Sarah Polley gave a beautiful speech talking about the importance of women’s cinema.
