From Brendan Fraser to Michelle Yeoh, this awards show season was about comebacks and historic wins, and it all culminated at the Oscars press room.

Jonathan Majors made a beeline for Jay Ellis, Monica Barbaro, Greg Tarzan Davis and the rest of the "Top Gun: Maverick" cast to say hello and chat for a bit before being approached by a young fan. Following her emotional performance, the artist was then assisted carefully down from the platform. “By the way, the virtual people don’t get (expletive),” Curtis said. Crew quickly pulled out backdrops for the Fenty mogul's set while platforms emerged from the stage's floor. "It’s insane that at one point I would try a different name," he said. "I would call (my agent) once every three months," he said. Best actor winner for "The Whale," Fraser, received a standing ovation from members of the press backstage. Pascal's minder told theater staff: "Please take him to his seat, he's in the monologue." 'So, I guess I should get up there and say something,' " Fraser said teary-eyed. Michelle Yeoh made a sudden sharp diversion to seek out and hug her "Everything Everywhere All at Once" co-star Stephanie Hsu. He might have been surprised by the brief appearance, but, when called out by host Jimmy Kimmel in the opening number, Pascal played his small part perfectly.

There’s nothing scarier in the world than a sick kid,” she said. “I’m so grateful she’s home. “I was opening packages in my apartment last night, all the Amazon stuff that you get,” Hoda told Curtis when she appeared on TODAY on March 14.

Jamie Lee Curtis Explains Dangerous 'True Lies' Stunt Procedure (IndieWire)

Jamie Lee Curtis didn't ask for many precautions when filming the helicopter scene with Arnold Schwarzenegger in "True Lies."

“I was willing to do all of it,” she said of the experience. The concern in the limousine would be that I would be expelled — like, if for some reason the limousine hit the wall, that I would be catapulted out of it.” Her only request was that she be given a knife to cut herself free in the event of an emergency. And I wanted to be able to be cut loose from it and then take my chances free falling.” I asked for two things for both the helicopter stunt and all of the limousine stunt work: I am tethered to the limousine through a safety belt that is then tethered to a carabiner that is then tethered to a strap which is secured onto a piece of steel in the car. Since [bursting onto the scene](https://www.indiewire.com/2023/03/jamie-lee-curtis-nepo-baby-no-discourse-1234815889/) in John Carpenter’s “Halloween,” Curtis has been able to alternate between horror, comedy, drama, and action with a versatility rarely found in Hollywood.

Jamie Lee Curtis: Morning after Oscars photos (Los Angeles Times)

Times photographer Jay L. Clendenin takes us inside his impromptu "morning after the Oscars" photoshoot with Jamie Lee Curtis at the Beverly Hills Hotel.

The actor has done horror, comedy and now crazy sci-fi action with “Everything All at Once.” She’s fine with all of it. We had the Faye Dunaway shot in mind the whole time and knew we wanted to make it a “Jamie” photo, so I immediately proposed the latte and foam on the nose ... I wanted it with some humor and humility, which is what I’ve come to know and love about the newly crowned Oscar winner JLC. It was on the way to the elevator that I whispered to her (begged!) that we should do something tomorrow (Monday) morning. We met in person years ago at the Toronto International Film Festival and we seemed to cosmically bond the minute her eyes lighted up, realizing we were both “JLCs.” I made photos that day of her reuniting with Eddie Murphy, and we’ve chatted ever since. Taking inspiration from British photographer Terry O’Neill’s iconic “morning after the Oscars” photos of Faye Dunaway lounging poolside at the Beverly Hills Hotel following her lead actress win in 1977 for her role in “Network,” Times photographer Jay L.
