On Hollywood’s biggest night, “Everything Everywhere All at Once” reigned supreme, winning seven Oscars, the most of any film, including best picture, best director and best original screenplay. It was nominated for 11 Oscars heading into the ceremony.

Jonathan Wang accepts the Oscar for Best Picture for “Everything Everywhere All at Once” onstage during the 95th Annual Academy Awards at the Dolby Theatre 

The film with the next highest number of wins was “All Quiet on the Western Front,” with four.

In the acting categories, “Everything Everywhere All at Once” star Michelle Yeoh made history as the first Asian woman to win best actress, while Brendan Fraser won best actor for “The Whale.”

“Everything Everywhere All at Once” co-stars Ke Huy Quan and Jamie Lee Curtis also won in the supporting actor and actress categories, respectively.

Brendan Fraser won the Academy Award for best actor for his performance in “The Whale.”

Fraser, appearing visibly shocked and emotional upon accepting his trophy, began by thanking the film’s director Darren Aronofsky for throwing him “a creative lifetime and hauling me aboard the good ship ‘The Whale.'”

Daniel Kwan and Daniel Scheinert won the Oscar for best director for their film “Everything Everywhere All at Once.”

The directors, known collectively as the Daniels, each dedicated their win to their parents.

On the side of performances, singer Rihanna went from the Super Bowl to the Academy Awards this year, delivering an uplifting performance of the Oscar-nominated song “Lift Me Up” from “Black Panther: Wakanda Forever” at Sunday’s awards show. And while by necessity she had to lip sync at her recent halftime appearance, many in the audience at the Dolby Theatre and at home were struck by the power and emotiveness of her live vocals.

“Lift Me Up” is Rihanna’s first single after a long drought of new material being released, and it earned the singer her first Oscar nod. The music was created by Rihanna, Tems, “Black Panther 2” director Ryan Coogler and composer Ludwig Göransson, with Tems and Coogler penning the lyrics.
