Oscars recap

LOS ANGELES — Several Canadians came away with first-time Oscar wins at the Academy Awards Sunday night.

Toronto filmmaker Sarah Polley's "Women Talking" won for best adapted screenplay.

It's the first career Oscar for Polley, whose film also received a best picture nomination but lost to the interdimensional drama "Everything Everywhere All at Once."

"I just want to thank the Academy for not being mortally offended by the words 'women' and 'talking' being so close together like that," Polley said as she accepted the award.

"Miriam Toews wrote an essential novel about a radical act of democracy in which people who don't agree on every single issue managed to sit together in a room and carve out a way forward together, free of violence.”

In the performance categories, CanadianAmerican Brendan Fraser nabbed the award for best actor for his role in "The Whale." Fraser had become a prize favourite after an awards season of heartfelt speeches, including one at the Toronto International Film Festival where he received a Tribute Award.

Montreal-born makeup artist Adrien Morot was part of the team recognized by the Academy for helping Fraser transform into the 600-pound character.

Morot won the Oscar for best makeup and hairstyling alongside Judy Chin and Annemarie Bradley.

As part of the routine, the team glued several thick pieces of silicone onto Fraser's face and body, before applying makeup.
