At the 94th Oscars on Sunday night, Hans Zimmer won the Original Score award for DUNE, and Billie Eilish and Finneas O'Connell won Original Score for "No Time To Die," the third consecutive Bond movie song to win the Oscar.
Given all the news and Internet attention to the historic event of Zimmer winning his first Oscar since The Lion King 27 years ago, you probably didn't hear that Will Smith slapped Chris Rock on stage for making a remark about Smith's wife's hair. If you're interested, you can probably learn more about it on the Google.

DID THEY MENTION THE MUSIC?
EVERYTHING EVERYWHERE ALL AT ONCE - Son Lux
"Technically, it’s a sturdy real-meets-surreal flex for the directors’ creative team, from cinematographer Larkin Seiple (also at SXSW with 'To Leslie') to production designer Jason Kisvarday ('Palm Springs'), while the Son Lux score is one of those all-over-the-map accompaniments that somehow feels connected to the film’s wavelength, rather than competing with it."
Robert Abele, The Wrap
"It serves the film’s emotional epicenter greatly that Evelyn is awarded so much complexity -- from her cruelty to her daughter Joy (Stephanie Hsu) and her flippancy to Waymond, to her generally harried demeanor and unmatched comic timing. This makes it so that when she is finally offered a moment of genuine emotional catharsis -- accompanied by swelling strings and neon mood lighting -- it doesn’t feel like the Daniels are overplaying their hand. Similarly, IRS inspector Deirdre (Jamie Lee Curtis) turns out to be much more than your average villain, and is given multiple avenues through which to explore her humanity in the multiverse."
Aurora Amidon, Paste Magazine
"Great storytellers make sense of chaos, whereas the Daniels gleefully embrace it, amplifying the headachy sensation with rapid editing and Son Lux’s broken-pipes score. 'Everything Everywhere' recognizes that life can be overwhelming, that family dynamics are tricky and the world isn’t fair. It counters those challenges with an unexpected sense of optimism, even as a giant CG everything bagel comes bursting through a parallel dimension to swallow up all that Evelyn holds dear. As the Daniels riffle manically between the dozen or so worlds they’ve created, we hardly notice that perhaps only 10 principal characters populate them. By keeping the cast small, they make it slightly easier to distinguish between the various realities -- including one that can’t sustain life, in which Evelyn and Joy appear as rocks -- but still can’t resist the kind of meta humor that inspires the feint where faux credits roll at the 85-minute mark. (Would that this were the end!)"
Peter Debruge, Variety
"DP Larkin Seiple, editor Paul Rogers and Los Angeles band Son Lux, who composed the eclectic score, deserve credit for keeping pace with the film’s unstinting commitment to visceral over-stimulation and its shapeshifting approach to genre."
David Rooney, The Hollywood Reporter
INFINITE STORM - Lorne Balfe
"Other key contributions are tactfully restrained, including Lorne Balfe’s original score. Englert is credited as co-director, though that gets buried in the end credits, whereas he shared directorial billing upfront with Szumowska on the very different, ironical and largely interior-set 'Snow.'"
Dennis Harvey, Variety
