| 2023 Oscars Are Calm, Peaceful & Joyous Behind the Scenes |
The 2023 Oscars are full of emotions and violence, with no signs of hostility or violence. The Dolby Theater is a great time for the stars to hang out, but last year's mood was slightly negative when Will Smith smacked Chris Rock.
That sense of foreboding that pervaded in 2022 was not present this time. Instead, we had Florence Pugh, Stephanie Hsu, The Rock, Austin Butler, James Hong, Lady Gaga, Brendan Gleeson, Barry Keogan, Samuel L. Jackson, and Sandra Oh bringing it in close and giving huge love – all while looking very stylish and classy.
There's a lot to celebrate... stars like Jamie Lee Curtis, Ke Huy Quan, and others have already received statuettes, and everyone appears to be overjoyed.
On the issue of the slap itself, host Jimmy Kimmel took some time to address it
during the broadcast -- making some jokes about the ugly moment at the
top of the show, which went down well with the crowd. His takeaway
message was ... keep your hands to yourself!
Welp, it looks like people are certainly doing that -- and
if they are making contact, it's the touchy-feely type ... and not the
other way around. That's all you can ask for 365 days later.
Let the happy times flow, y'all. It looks good on everyone.
