The 95th Academy Awards ceremony, presented by the Academy of Motion Picture Arts and Sciences (AMPAS), honored the best films of 2022 and took place on March 12, 2023, at the Dolby Theatre in Hollywood, Los Angeles. During the ceremony, AMPAS presented Academy Awards (commonly referred to as Oscars) in 23 categories. The ceremony was televised in the United States by ABC and produced by Glenn Weiss and Ricky Kirshner. Television host Jimmy Kimmel hosted the show for the third time.

Everything Everywhere All at Once led the ceremony with eleven nominations, and won a leading seven awards, including Best Picture. Other winners included All Quiet on the Western Front with four awards and The Whale with two. Top Gun: Maverick, Black Panther: Wakanda Forever, Avatar: The Way of Water, Women Talking, RRR, Guillermo del Toro's Pinocchio and Navalny each won one. Short film winners included An Irish Goodbye, The Boy, the Mole, the Fox and the Horse and The Elephant Whisperers.

Winners and nominees[]

The nominations were announced by actors Riz Ahmed and Allison Williams on January 24, 2023.

With Avatar: The Way of Water and Top Gun: Maverick, it was the first time the Best Picture category featured two sequels in one ceremony, as well as the first time two films grossing over $1 billion worldwide were nominated together for Best Picture. All Quiet on the Western Front's nine nominations trailed only Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon (2000) and Roma (2018) for the most nominations by a non-English-language film. The Quiet Girl became the first submission from Ireland to receive a nomination for Best International Feature Film.

The 16 first-time Oscar nominees across the four acting categories, including all five Best Actor nominees, marked the most first-time nominees in Oscar history. Michelle Yeoh became the first woman who identifies as Asian nominated in the Best Actress category, and only the second woman of color to win (after Halle Berry, who, along with the prior year's winner, Jessica Chastain, presented Yeoh with her award). A record four Asian actors received acting nominations: Hong Chau, Stephanie Hsu and winners Ke Huy Quan and Yeoh. With her Best Supporting Actress nomination for Black Panther: Wakanda Forever, Angela Bassett became the first person to receive an acting nomination for a role in a film based on Marvel Comics. Judd Hirsch, nominated for Best Supporting Actor for his role in The Fabelmans, became the actor with the largest gap between two nominations, following his nomination for Ordinary People (1980). At age 90, John Williams became the oldest competitive nominee in Oscar history, and with this being his 53rd nomination, he also broke his own record as the most Oscar-nominated living person, and the second-most nominated person (behind Walt Disney). Unfortunately, Williams also extended another record: that for longest losing streak, at 22 consecutive competitive losses. For Le pupille, with his nomination for Live Action Short Film, Alfonso Cuarón became the second person to be nominated in seven different Oscar categories, following Kenneth Branagh. The film also marks Disney+'s first nomination for the award.

Everything Everywhere All at Once became the first film since 2013's Gravity to win seven Academy Awards at a single ceremony, and the most awarded Best Picture winner since 2008's Slumdog Millionaire. It is also the third film in history to win in three acting categories, following A Streetcar Named Desire (1951) and Network (1976). A24 won a total of nine awards, more than any other studio or distributor; between Everything Everywhere All at Once and The Whale, the studio was the first ever to sweep seven of the top awards — Best Picture, Best Director, Best Original Screenplay and the four acting awards.
