"Everything Everywhere All at Once" and "All Quiet On the Western Front" were the big winners at the 95th Academy Awards, Sunday.

Michelle Yeoh won the Best Actress prize for "Everything", which was also the winner of the top prize of Best Picture. 

She made history as the first Asian woman to win the Best Actress Oscar.

Her co-stars Ke Huy Quan and Jamie Lee Curtis won for Best Supporting Actor and Actress respectively. Their movie also won for Best Director, Best Original Screenplay and Best Editing.

"All Quiet On the Western Front" scored trophies for Best Cinematography, Best Production Design, Best Set Design, Best Score and Best International Film.

Towards the end of the night Brendan Fraser won the Best Actor award for "The Whale".

Guillermo Del Toro's "Pinocchio" was named Best Animated Feature.

"Top Gun: Maverick" won for Best Sound and "Black Panther: Wakanda Forever" won for Best Costume Design and Best Visual Effects.

Jimmy Kimmel hosted the show for the third time, and opened the show by dropping from the ceiling in a parachute, a nod to Best Picture nominee "Top Gun: Maverick".

Kimmel then recognized the elephant in the room by saying the Oscars producers had a crisis team on hand in case anyone got violent the way Will Smith did last year when he hit comedian Chris Rock for making a joke about his wife Jada Pinkett-Smith.

He told the crowd they should do what they did last year, which was nothing, while the perpetrator would then be awarded with a Best Actor statuette and allowed to give a 19-minute speech.

Grammy-winning singer Lenny Kravitz performed during the In Memoriam segment, paying tribute to luminaries who have died in the past year.

John Travolta seemed to choke up as he introduced the scene, which featured his Grease co-star Olivia Newton-John, who died of cancer last year.
