The Slap? What slap? Sunday's Oscar ceremony felt more like a big hug, its heartwarming and heartfelt speeches a potent antidote to the uneasy memory of last year's Will Smith
LOS ANGELES — It was chaotic, messy, wild, creative, big-hearted and utterly unique. If it were a bagel, it would most certainly have been the"everything" kind.
And as for The Slap? Well, this Oscar night felt more like a big hug, its heartwarming speeches a potent antidote to the uneasy memory of last year's Will Smith saga. They kept coming: There was Ke Huy Quan, bounding up the stairs to accept the supporting actor troph y, his teary joy infectious as he referred to his remarkable life story.
Also thanked, of course, were were children, fathers, husbands and wives."I am your son, and I love you," Guillermo del Toro, winning for best animated film, said to his late parents. And perhaps the four most heart-rending words of the night came from a wife to a husband:"Stay strong, my love," said Yulia Navalnaya to her imprisoned husband, Alexei Navalny, the Russian opposition leader.
