Two questions arise ahead of the Oscars: 1. Will Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy give a speech? 2. Does the new champagne-coloured carpet live up to its promise of being more glamorous than the old red carpet?

1. No. The president of the awards ceremony said Ukraine as a whole is too white and therefore does not meet the Academy’s diversity requirements. Oooookay.

2. No. The new carpet is a disaster. Beige, white, silver, gold dresses don’t really stand out and above all, it looks dirty after a few minutes. It’s amazing what the stars stick to their shoes. Twigs, petals and just plain dirt. OK.

No one on the carpet seems to have heeded the Academy’s call for sustainability. Why should they, if the Academy itself doesn’t recycle old carpets? Nicole Kidman and Keith Urban, as always, can’t keep their hands off each other and have “brought our best friend’s son.” The son happens to star in «The Fabelmas». Leg splits are trendy. And white. Tragic about the carpet. Fortunately, the Kidmans like black.

Hugh Grant grabs a woman’s buttocks and Austin Butler (“Elvis”) and Barry Keoghan (“The Banshees of Inisherin”) hug and both can’t believe they’re here, as can Ke Huy Kwan (“Everything Everywhere All At Once» ) The Rock has opted for a rose champagne jacket, which doesn’t stand out better against the background (the carpet gives off the look of a worn registry office), and daddy sex god Pedro Pascal has gone for something very understated.

The color of the evening? Wearing Cate Blanchett. Let’s call her peacock blue. Her silhouette resembles a figurine. And Michelle Yeoh has braided a fairytale fine strand of diamonds in her hair.

Host Jimmy Kimmel parachutes from the stage sky as Tom Cruise. That’s it for the show element. Kimmel is one of the very friendly. He welcomes many, Kidman, Seth Rogen, with whom he jokes about drugs, Spielberg, James Cameron, who is not there because even the Oscars were too long for him, or Rihanna, whose nine-month-old baby filled his diapers during rehearsals.

And then he threatens anyone who would want to hit him tonight, like Will Smith host Chris Rock did last year. Threaten them with the martial arts of Michelle Yeoh and Spiderman Andrew Garfield and Mandalorian Pedro Pascal.

Guillermo del Toro wins the first Oscar of the night for his “Pinocchio”, he thanks his parents, “I’m your son”.

When Ariana de Bose opens the envelope named Ke Huy Quan, tears well up in her eyes. standing ovation He sobs. “My mother is 84, she sits at home and watches: Mom, I just won an Oscar! My journey started on a boat, I lived in a refugee camp for a year.” Now here he is, “they say stories like this only exist in movies, THIS IS THE AMERICAN DREAM!” How nice. How nice. “I owe everything to the love of my life, my wife”, she also overflows with tears.

Jamie Lee Curtis also won the Academy Award for Best Supporting Actress for “Everything Everywhere All At Once.” The winner of the hearts of this evening is certain, there is also a standing ovation for Curtis, just like Ke Huy Quan, she was also nominated for the first time in her life. “I’m hundreds,” she says, her entire “dream team,” but also the audience that has already seen the film. Her parents, Hollywood legends Janet Leigh and Toni Curtis, were both nominated for an Oscar, and their daughter is the first in the family to win the award.

“Navalny” is the best documentary. Just as we predicted. Meanwhile, the protagonist of the film, Russian opposition leader Alexei Navalny, is being held in solitary confinement somewhere in Russia. His wife Yulia Navalnaja and his children are present. “Alexei, I dream of the day when you will be free and the day when our country will be free,” his wife says in tears.

With the camera Oscar for James Friend, the first trophy goes to the anti-war film «Nothing New in the West».

For all the enthusiasm the venue has for “Everything Everywhere All At Once,” the song “This Is a Life,” performed by Stephanie Hsu and David Byrne, is cat whining on a hopefully ironic level. Or, says Anna Böhler, “as if you let Heidi Klum sing. Fortunately, Jimmy Kimmel comforts us with a cute little donkey, supposedly that of “The Banshees of Inisherin”.

This is what it used to look like at the presentation of the nominees for the best costume. With supermodels.

Nothing happens today, but Ruth E. Carter is the coolest winner with the craziest shoes and the oldest mother (101 years old).

In terms of show, the highlight is definitely the performance of “Naatu Naatu” from the Indian movie “RRR”. Bollywood in Hollywood and another standing ovation, this venue is extremely revelry.

Salma Hayek and Antonio Banderas present the Oscar for Best International Film. Were they actually together? The Oscar goes to “Nothing New in the West”. That was to be expected. Incidentally, director Edward Berger has a Swiss mother. Prior to the Oscars, he said he actually
