A very different evening to the BAFTAs, refreshingly. Certain awards (e.g. Cinematography, Editing, Foreign Film) were common to both, but all the big categories were voted differently. The BAFTA voters seemed to have an unhealthily high regard for All Quiet, which won seven; the Americans were much more into Everything Everywhere, which won three of the actor awards for Michelle Yeoh (making her the first female Asian Best Actress winner), Jamie Lee Curtis and Ke Huy Quan, also winning the Daniels Best Film, screenplay and directors. Even Austin Butler took second place to Brendan Fraser.
For the record, Miyoshi Umeki and Youn Yuh-jung both won previous Best Supporting Actress awards, for Sayonara (1957) and Minari (2020) respectively, and Haing S. Ngor was awarded Best Supporting Actor for The Killing Fields (1986).
Three Oscar-winning cinematographers did not even get nominated - Linus Sandgren (Babylon), Janusz Kamisnki (The Fabelmans) and Chivo (Amsterdam).
