Like every year, the delivery of the Oscars leaves us with memorable moments. Beyond the emotional speeches, the reactions to the winners, the musical moments, and the debate over Jimmy Kimmel jokes, it’s important to see everything that happened behind the scenes. What actors met again? Who fell on the champagne carpet? Was there Latino talent at the after party? Here we present you the best moments behind the scenes of the Oscars 2023.
The reunion of two greats
Decades have passed since we met Ke Huy Quan in Indiana Jones and the Temple of Doom. But his love for Harrison Ford, with whom he shared credits on that tape, is still intact. When the Oscar winner took the stage along with the entire cast of Everything everywhere at the same time, he met Ford again after a long time. The joy of both was undoubted, and it was captured in a photograph that we will surely remember for years.
The celebration of Brendan Fraser and Ke Huy Quan
Although they were forgotten by the industry, today this pair of actors can boast of being at the top. His wins for Best Actor and Best Supporting Actor made them two of the most talked about performers at the ceremony. They both worked on Encino Man, and they met again during the interviews after their triumphs. It goes without saying, but the emotion of both of them was visible, and thus they greeted the spectators of Good Morning America.
Lady Gaga to the rescue
Although her presence had been denied, this Sunday morning it was confirmed that Lady Gaga would attend the ceremony. During her time on the champagne carpet, the actress and singer drew the attention of many, and more for her heroic act. A photographer dropped by just as she was doing her job, but Gaga came back to him and asked if she was okay. Fortunately, everything remained an anecdote.
The Daniels partying
Not only did they direct the film with the most Oscars of the night, they also beat out directors such as Steven Spielberg and Martin McDonagh. So it’s no surprise that the duo behind Theard everywhere at the same time have celebrated in style what, possibly, has been the best night of their lives.
Jamie Lee Curtis on the verge of tears
The iconic Laurie Strode from Halloween finally won an Oscar after several decades in the industry. If you thought her speech was the most emotional moment for her, check out this behind-the-scenes photo. Even Ke Huy Quan came to her to remind her that this was not a dream.
Many prizes everywhere… and at the same time
Once the ceremony is over, the directors of Everything everywhere at the same time they pooled their awards with those of the producers and other award-winning team members. Even the head of one of the filmmakers served as a showcase to place an Oscar. Will they have enough space at home to put them?
The vicious bear ready to drive
We’re sorry to break your illusions, but the vicious bear who handed out the Oscar for Best Visual Effects wasn’t real. Here is an image of the iconic character while he was waiting for his turn to enter the stage. Should they call him in to drive the next delivery?
Rihanna getting ready to get into action
A singer with such a career oversees everything before appearing on a stage like the Oscars. Here is Rihanna’s closest team preparing every last detail of her hairstyle prior to the performance of “Lift Me Up”nominated song belonging to soundtrack of Black Panther: Wakanda Forever.
Maternal pride on the other side of the world
One of the most anticipated moments was the award for Best Actress. While the audience was divided between supporting Cate Blanchett or Michelle Yeoh, the mother of the latter lived moments of tension in Malaysia, where she watched the Oscars in a cinema and longed for her daughter to be awarded. When the result was known, the emotion was notorious. This is how the moment of celebration was lived, and the first video call after the victory.
A filial daughter, Michelle checked in on her mother straight after she became the first Asian to win the best actress award in the Academy’s 95 year history. Bravo! 🎉 https://t.co/Ghvs4LYW94 pic.twitter.com/BzqTIJ5cuW

Juan Jose Cruz I am one of those who always defended Robert Pattinson as Batman and can see the same movie in the theater up to 7 times. My guilty pleasure? Low budget horror movie.
