Oscars 2023: Everything Everywhere All at Once did the thing many times over

With 23 awards to be given out, the 95th Academy Awards Ceremony definitely ran a little long, but after last year’s theatrics, the evening felt like a studied return to form for the Oscars and a fitting end to awards season.

As improbable as it might have once seemed, A24’s Everything Everywhere All at Once from the Daniels absolutely dominated at this year’s ceremony where it ultimately took home seven of the 11 awards it was nominated for including Best Picture, Best Directing for the Daniels, Best Film Editing for Paul Rogers, and Best Writing (Original Screenplay) also for the Daniels. In his speech for Best Supporting Actor, Ke Huy Quan thanked his wife and brother for keeping him grounded and sticking by him through his Hollywood career, and in her Best Actress acceptance speech, Yeoh utterly rejected the idea of a woman ever being past her prime. 

Between Jamie Lee Curtis’ surprise win for Best Supporting Actress and Paul Rogers’ win for Best Editing, Everything Everywhere All at Once made sure that A24’s presence was known in the room. But it wasn’t the only film from the studio to perform well, as Brendan Fraser won took Best Actor for his performance in The Whale — which was only made possible thanks to Adrien Morot, Judy Chin, and Annemarie Bradley, who won Best Makeup and Hairstyling for their work on the film.

With All Quiet on the Western Front’s James Friend winning for Cinematography, and the movie winning Best International Feature Film, Netflix’s adaptation of Erich Maria Remarque’s novel more than held its own. And, ever the champion for animation, Guillermo del Toro made sure to use his Best Animated Feature Film speech to remind everyone that animation is cinema.
