Stage and screen star Brendan Fraser has won big at the 95th Annual Academy Awards, receiving the Best Actor in a Leading Role award for his performance in The Whale.
Samuel D. Hunter's The Whale — adapted from his 2012 play of the same name — received three nominations this evening. It took home the Best Makeup and Hairstyling award, in addition to Fraser's win.
Many other stars of the stage were nominated at the Oscars, such as Stephanie Hsu, Angela Bassett, Cate Blanchett, Michelle Williams, and Austin Butler, to name just a few. The biggest prize of the night, Best Picture, went to Everything Everywhere All At Once—which won seven Oscars. Though she didn't win, Broadway alum Hsu did perform the Oscar-nominated song "This Is a Life," with David Byrne during the ceremony. Watch it below.
