"I'm more angry now than I was able to be then. If you're afraid, you're rightfully so. They are scary situations. They don't have to be violent to be scary."

It's only in the last three or four years that I've been able to start going up for film. I was scared that by signing on to another television show it could prevent me from doing other jobs I really wanted and cared about."

She continued, "The only reason I went back is because Tim Burton, director and executive producer of ‘Wednesday' is such a legend, and we just happened to get along very well. But even then I said, ‘Ah, no — I think I'm OK,' a couple more times."

The Scream actress added that she didn't think many people would watch the series. "I thought it wasn't going to be watched," she added. "That it will be a nice little gem that someone finds, but most people don't."

The 95th annual Academy Awards were held on Sunday (March 12th) at the Dolby Theater in Los Angeles. Hosted by Jimmy Kimmel, the three-and-a-half-hour broadcast aired live on ABC.

In the wake of last year's infamous slap, Kimmel joked during his opening monologue: "If anyone commits an act of violence anytime during this show, you will be presented the Oscar for Best Actor and be permitted to give an 18-minute long speech." He added, "Seriously, the Academy has a crisis team in place. If anything unpredictable or violent happens during the ceremony, just do what you did last year — nothing. Maybe even give the assailant a hug."

Everything Everywhere All at Once was the big winner of the evening, taking home seven awards in total including Best Picture. According to The New York Times, Michelle Yeoh made history as the first Asian actress to take home the award for Best Actress. "For all the little boys and girls who look like me watching tonight, this is a beacon of hope and possibilities," she said during her acceptance speech. "This is proof that dreams dream big, and dreams do come true."

Ke Huy Quan and Jamie Lee Curtis both won their first Oscars for Best Supporting Actor and Actress for their roles in the film. After receiving his award, Quan gave a shout-out to his mother. "My mom is 84 years old, and she's at home watching," he said. "Mom, I just won an Oscar." In an emotional speech, Quan added, "My journey started on a boat. I spent a year in a refugee camp. And somehow I ended up here on Hollywood's biggest stage. They say stories like this only happen in the movies. I cannot believe it's happening to me. This is the American dream."

Curtis teared up as she remembered her parents. "My mother and my father were both nominated for Oscars in different categories," she said. According to Deadline, Tony Curtis was nominated for Best Actor in 1959, while Janet Leigh was nominated for Best Actress in a Supporting Role in 1961. "I just won an Oscar!" Jamie Lee exclaimed.

The Netflix film All Quiet on the Western Front also had a successful evening, taking home four awards in total including Best International Feature.

Brendan Fraser won the Oscar for Best Actor for his role in The Whale, commenting on his comeback story during his acceptance speech. "I started in this business 30 years ago. Things didn't come easily to me but there was a facility that I didn't appreciate at the time until it stopped," he said.

Presenters included Dwayne Johnson, Emily Blunt, Cara Delevingne, Ahmir "Questlove" Thompson, Michael B. Jordan, Jonathan Majors, Jennifer Connelly, Samuel L. Jackson, Pedro Pascal, Margot Robbie, and Morgan Freeman.

The evening's performances included the nominees in the best original song category.

Jimmy Kimmel Addresses Oscars Slap During Opening Monologue

  • "If anyone in this theater commits an act of violence at any point during the show, you will be awarded the Oscar for best actor and permitted to give a 19-minute long speech. No, but seriously, the academy has a crisis team in place. If anything unpredictable or violent happens during the ceremony, just do what you did last year. Nothing. Sit there and do absolutely nothing. Maybe even give the assailant a hug. And if any of you get mad at a joke and decide you want to get jiggy with it -- it's not going to be easy. A few of my friends you have to get through first. You are going to have to get through the heavyweight champ, Adonis creed, before you get to me. You are going to have to do battle with Michelle Yeoh before you get to me. You are going to have to beat "The mandalorian" before you get to me. You are going to have to tangle with spider-man. You are going to have to -- you are going to have to tangle with fabelman. Laughter" 1:11 OC...tangle with fableman laughter

Cheryl Burke Comments On Matthew Lawrence's Plan To Have Children With Rozonda 'Chilli' Thomas

A lot of ‘90s fans are excited about Matthew Lawrence and Rozonda "Chilli" Thomas getting together, and the Boy Meets World star even announced earlier this month that the pair are planning on having children. On a recent episode of The Most Dramatic Podcast Ever with Chris Harrison, Lawrence's ex-wife, Cheryl Burke, commented on this latest development. Lawrence and Burke finalized their divorce in September of 2022.

"I'm not surprised at all," Burke told Harrison. "He comes from a huge family and I think that, especially his mom, there were definitely conversations, but I always had said, 'As long as I had to shove my body in a dance costume, me thinking about being pregnant probably isn't something I can talk about at the moment.'"

The Dancing with the Stars alum added that she wishes the best for the new couple. "I really truly hope he can actually have a kid with Chilli," she said. "I think that's amazing. I think he's wanted that."

Seth Rogen Says Not Having Kids Helped Him Succeed

Seth Rogen discussed how not having children has affected his life and career on a recent episode of The Diary of a CEO podcast.

"That has helped me succeed as well, definitely," Rogen said, explaining that he has more time and energy to focus on work. "There's a whole huge thing I'm not doing, which is raising children."

He continued, commenting on his relationship with his wife, Lauren Miller. "Some people want kids. Some people don't want kids … Honestly, you just are told, you go through life, you get married, you have kids. That's what happens. And me and my wife, neither of us were like that. Honestly, the older we get, the more happy and reaffirmed we are with our choice to not have kids."

The Superbad actor added, "We are in the prime of our lives. We are smarter than we've ever been, we understand ourselves more than we ever have, we have the capacity to achieve a level of work and a level of communication and care for one another, and a lifestyle we can live with one another, that we've never been able to live before."
