2023 Tony Awards: ‘Kimberly Akimbo,’ ‘Leopoldstadt,’ ‘Topdog/Underdog,’ ‘Parade’ Win Top Prizes: “Kimberly Akimbo,” the off-beat story of a teenage girl suffering from a condition that causes her to age rapidly, was named best musical. The show won five prizes in all, the most of any production. “Leopoldstadt,” a multi-generational saga that follows a tight-knit Jewish community through a bloody period of European history, won four prizes, including the statue for best play. Suzan-Lori Parks’ “Topdog/Underdog,” a drama about two African-American brothers living on the economic margins, took home best play revival, while “Parade,” the story of Jewish American Leo Frank’s imprisonment and lynching, was named best musical revival. This spring, “Parade” made national news after members of a neo-Nazi group protested outside the theater on its opening night.

The 95th Academy Awards were held Sunday night at the Dolby Theater in Los Angeles. “Everything Everywhere All at Once,” the proudly weird sci-fi movie from Daniel Kwan and Daniel Scheinert, swept most of the top categories, including best picture and directing. Michelle Yeoh, that movie’s star, won the best actress award, becoming the first Asian actress ever to win that honor. The other lead acting prize went to Brendan Fraser (“The Whale”), also a first-time winner. Perhaps the biggest winner of all: A24, the studio behind both of those movies.

SEE THE GOLDEN GLOBE VIDEO WALL
The Golden Globes were held for the 80th time in history, though this year's ceremony was notable for a bigger reason. The awards show that is supposed to honor excellence in film and TV has been trying to recover from a racial exclusion scandal after a 2021 Los Angeles Times storyrevealed that none of the 87 Hollywood Foreign Press members was Black. The Banshees of Inisherin, which led all movies with eight nominations, struck up a meaningful friendship with Globes voters over the evening: The Irish-island-set tragicomedy took home the best comedy film trophy, while Colin Farrell triumphed in the acting category and writer-director Martin McDonagh won for best screenplay. Meanwhile, Everything Everywhere All at Once prevailed in two dimensions, as Michelle Yeoh and Ke Huy Quan netted acting trophies. The Fablemansalso came into frame by winning best drama film honors and best director (Steven Spielberg). On the TV side, ABC comedy Abbott Elementary — which boasted the most nominations of any show with five — built off of its Emmy momentum and went to the head of the class, winning best comedy honors and Golden Globes for Quinta Brunson and Tyler James Williams. An even bigger Emmy magnet, HBO's The White Lotus, enjoyed the privilege of converting its four nominations into two awards, one for best limited series and another for Jennifer Coolidge (who also delivered the funniest speech of the night). And then Game of Thrones prequel House of the Dragon added some surprise to the night by claiming the best drama award.
