Fans’ hearts were melting.

win Best Picture still seemed crazy. After all, nobody had seen any of the fall festival movies that often dominate the awards lineup.

Considering the breathless ease of “Everything Everywhere All At Once’s” award season so far, it’s sort of remarkable how many categories are up for grabs when the Academy Awards begin on Sunday evening. Oscar’s top prize is pretty much all locked up and should reward A24 with their second Best Picture win in less than 12 years of existence.

Oscars 2023, it’s been reported that Everything Everywhere All At Once is now the world’s most-awarded movie ever.Everything Everywhere All At Once is nominated in 11 categories including Best Picture and Best Director at the 95th Academy Awards, which take place this weekend (March 12).But ahead of that, research done by IGN suggests that Everything Everywhere All At Once is already the world’s most-awarded movie ever, a title previously thought to be held by Lord Of The Rings: Return Of The King.The absurdist, multiversal comedy-drama has racked up 158 accolades from major critic organisations and award bodies, compared to Return Of The King which achieved 101.According to IGN, they also looked at nominations but only included “award-giving bodies that recognised both films,” with only 45 out of 152 including both films in their selections.“Narrowing down their totals to just these 45 organisations, Everything Everywhere All At Once still has Return Of The King beat when it comes to awards (138 to 127) and nominations (295 to 189).”Everything Everywhere All At Once was released last April. In a review, NME wrote: “By weaving together so much action, drama, comedy, sci-fi and general invention, directing duo Daniels repeatedly set high bars for their movie to clear.”Most of the time they do so easily – a wild joke will turn into a wilder running gag, or the actors will deliver a touching scene while voicing a pair of inanimate objects.

The scream queen! Jamie Lee Curtis has had a long and successful career, starting off in iconic horror films before venturing into hit comedies.

Julia MacCary editor “Everything Everywhere All at Once,” “Abbott Elementary” and “Yellowjackets” received top honors at the 38th annual Casting Society Artios Awards. The ceremony honors top casting spanning films, TV and theater. The celebrations were in-person for the first time in three years, taking place in Los Angeles, New York City and London, with hosts Yvette Nicole Brown, Amber Ruffin and Gordin Griffin, respectively. EGOT winner Rita Moreno received career honors with the Lynn Stalmaster Award, which was presented by her “80s for Brady” co-star Glynn Turman. The Associated Casting Director / Unscripted Casting Producer Spotlight Awards went to Joy Gordo, Jenn Noyes and Martin Ware. Other top honors included United Agents (London), Leslee Feldman, Black Theatre United, Jessica Sherman and Simone Bär.

“Everything Everywhere All at Once” swept all the major guild awards, the first time that grand slam had happened in a decade and only the fifth time in history, the suspense seemed to drain out of the 95th Academy Awards. After all, how suspenseful can it be if everything goes to “Everything?” But it’d be a mistake to think that Sunday’s show won’t be a nail-biter in many ways.

A comeback king. Ke Huy Quan has taken Hollywood by storm with his performance as Waymond Wang in Everything Everywhere All at Once.

David Byrne knows where he’s going and he knows where he’s been, and the former Talking Heads band leader and near EGOT winner is on his way to the Oscars again, 35 years after taking home the original score Academy Award for Bernardo Bertolucci’s The Last Emperor (which he shared with Ryuichi Sakamoto and Cong Su) with a song nomination for “This Is a Life” from A24’s 11x Oscar nominated Everything Everywhere All at Once which he co-wrote with the pic’s composers Son Lux and Mitski. If Byrne wins a second Oscar next Sunday, it doesn’t bring him closer to an EGOT; he needs an Emmy win to do that after two Grammys and a special Tony award for his Broadway showstopper American Utopia.

almost is key – because one film with enormous support throughout the Academy’s branches, the German-language “All Quiet on the Western Front,” wasn’t nominated for SAG, DGA, PGA or WGA awards. (It didn’t qualify for the last of those, at which a few major contenders are almost always ineligible.) It seems counterintuitive that a movie not even nominated for those top awards could beat a movie that has won them.

Zack Sharf Digital News Director Ke Huy Quan is the frontrunner to win the Oscar for best supporting actor thanks to his performance in “Everything Everywhere All at Once,” which has already nabbed him prizes from the Golden Globes, Critics’ Choice Awards and Screen Actors Guild Awards. The upcoming Academy Awards will cap a three-year journey Quan has taken with “Everything Everywhere All at Once.” The A24 multiverse drama shot in January 2020, but its theatrical release was held for two years until March 2022 because of the COVID pandemic. During a recent interview on “The Late Late Show,” Quan said he spent the pandemic “at home trying to stay safe like everybody.” But he was also “so nervous” because no other acting offers were coming in since his comeback role in “Everything Everywhere” was being held for release for so long.
