Highlights from the 95th Academy Awards:
- Living up to many predictions, "Everything Everywhere All at Once" took home seven Academy Awards on Sunday night, including best picture and best director. Michelle Yeoh also won for best actress. Early winners for the night included Ke Huy Quan for best supporting actor and Jamie Lee Curtis for best supporting actress. The film came in strong with 11 nominations.
- It shaped up to be a strong night for South Asian artists and filmmakers, as well. "Naatu Naatu" from "RRR" won for best song, propelling us from our seats for a little dance break. And the Indian documentary "The Elephant Whisperers" won for best documentary short.
- Highlights of the night included Lady Gaga delivering an emotional and stripped-down "Hold My Hand," the song from "Top Gun: Maverick." Rihanna, fresh off a pregnancy reveal at the Super Bowl, also topped the night with a powerful performance of "Lift Me Up" from "Black Panther: Wakanda Forever."
- Jimmy Kimmel was back for a third time as the host. As usual, his jokes were a little hit-or-miss, with zingers that took aim at everything from Nicole Kidman's AMC commercial to George Santos.
NBC News' live coverage of the event has ended.

Michelle Yeoh calls for global support of women and girls in New York Times op-ed
The morning after her historic Oscars win for best actress, Michelle Yeoh called for global support for women and girls in the wake of disasters.
In an essay published in The New York Times, Yeoh — a United Nations Development Program goodwill ambassador — wrote, "If I can do one thing with this moment of my professional joy, it would be to point the spotlight on those who all too often go unacknowledged, the women who are rebuilding their communities, taking care of children and older people and putting food on the table."
Yeoh wrote of being in Nepal in April 2015 at the time of an earthquake that killed at least 8,000 people. She said the recent devastating earthquake in Turkey and Syria — which killed an estimated 54,000 people, according to The Associated Press — reminded her of that experience, and she called for global support for women affected.
Studies Yeoh cited show that women are hit particularly hard by natural disasters, and Yeoh noted they are at increased rates of hunger and sexual violence and assault.
"What I have learned through my work with U.N.D.P. is that realizing these global goals will be possible only if we achieve true gender equality, everywhere, and in all aspects of life — especially in times of crisis — and in anticipation of the next disaster," Yeoh wrote.
German officials celebrate 'huge success' of 'All Quiet on the Western Front'
BERLIN — Chancellor Olaf Scholz on Monday expressed pride that the German antiwar movie “All Quiet on the Western Front” won four Oscars including best international film.
“Congratulations on four Oscars!” Scholz tweeted. “It is a huge success for the German film, one can be rightly proud of it,” the German chancellor added. “Especially in these difficult times, it shows unmistakably how terrible and inhumane war is.”
The Netflix film starring Austrian actor Felix Kammerer, which was directed and co-written by Edward Berger, also won for cinematography, production design and original score Sunday night.
“With four Oscars, ‘All Quiet on the Western Front’ sets an unprecedented record for German film,” said Germany’s state minister for culture and media, Claudia Roth. “It will bring German film worldwide attention and give it new significance.”
The film is based on the classic 1929 novel of the same name by Erich Maria Remarque. Set during World War I, it follows the life of a young German soldier who enlists in the army with his friends. But the realities of war shatter his hopes of becoming a hero and he focuses on his own survival.
Ruth E. Carter made history as the first Black woman to win two Oscars
Ruth E. Carter made history Sunday night when she won the Oscar for best costume design for her work on “Black Panther: Wakanda Forever”: She became the first Black woman to win two Oscars, according to The Associated Press.
Carter won her first Oscar in 2019, for her work on the original "Black Panther" film. She was also nominated in the past for her work on Spike Lee’s “Malcolm X” and Steven Spielberg’s “Amistad."
Sound mixer Russell Williams II was the first Black person to win two Oscars, according to Variety, which noted that he won the best sound award for both “Dances With Wolves” and “Glory.” Actors Denzel Washington and Mahershala Ali, both Black men, have also each won two Oscars, according to Variety.
Carter dedicated her second Oscar to her mother, Mabel Carter, who she said died last week, at 101 years old. Carter also said she shares her award "with many dedicated artists whose hands and hearts helped manifest the costumes of Wakanda and Talokan."
Guillermo del Toro first to win best picture, best director and best animated feature

"Pinocchio marks del Toro’s seventh Academy Award nomination and his third win," Tudum, the official companion site to Netflix, said. "In 2018 del Toro took home Oscars for best picture and best director for The Shape of Water; he’s the first person in history to win picture, director and animated feature."
