And so that is a success story very much in itself. I certainly hope so, because I feel safer in a movie theater. Do you think — I mean, all your criticisms aside, the points that you're making aside, do you think that this night does change the way movies get made going forward? But I think that's a shame because that is very — seven Oscars for one movie, and for that movie, to be "Everything Everywhere," is disproportionate. I mean, that is — there's something remarkable about that. What do you make of "Everything Everywhere All at Once" sweeping so much gold last night? It was a big night for indie films overall. But best original song went to Naatu Naatu from the film "RRR." Quan won for best supporting actor. We are all descendants of something and someone. We are all products of our context.

Brendan Fraser is among nominees at the 95th Academy Awards, which are being hosted by Jimmy Kimmel.

The network is also streaming the ceremony on its website and app. Unusually, that means British viewers can watch the Oscars on Freeview and Freesat. He also paid tribute to composer John Williams, the oldest nominee in Oscars history. The Banshees of Inisherin has four acting nominations, including Colin Farrell and Kerry Condon.

At the Oscars, the World War One epic is the bookies' second favourite to take the top prize, followed by The Banshees of Inisherin. At this point, Everything Everywhere All at Once is the clear frontrunner, having won nearly every major precursor it needed to - with the notable exception of Bafta. Thank you so much for welcoming me back." Later in the ceremony, Everywhere All at Once is the favourite to win best picture after success on this year's awards' circuit.

Despite being a producer, Russo and his brother weren’t listed as Oscar winners due to the award’s rule that only three people can be honored.

Design/Fashion Studies at the School of Business & Creative Industries, University of the Sunshine Coast. In much of the commentary around the film, moral and aesthetic categories are being confused. Was it actually the best picture of 2022? And this will excite the kinds of mega-corporations that produce indie cinema these days – they can simply recycle and combine material from their VHS collection. The genuine emotion offered and elicited across all four categories were a refreshing rebuttal for an Oscars cynic, that the symbolic power of these awards can be put in service of expanding notions of prestige acting and celebrity. What its win does suggest (along with the success of Top Gun: Maverick), is that audiences are craving nostalgic cinema that plays well on the big screen. Despite its historical winnings at the Academy Awards, it is hard to say that Everything Everywhere All At Once has successfully managed to make new representations of Asian in the big screen. That said, I liked the simplicity of the setting for the song, the strong backlighting isolating her and her band in the space and making the large stage seem more intimate. Cast mainly by Asian actors and actresses, this strangely (sometimes even disturbingly) funny but also moving comedy won most of the major awards, including Best Leading Actress and Best Director. This is one of the first songs from song-rich Indian cinema to break through to the Oscars, but we can hope that it will pave the way for more. I miss the days of the orchestra pit. Red (note the carpet was renamed champagne) got a solid look in with Melissa McCarthy, Anni Strenisko, and Cara Delavinge, who stunned in Elie Saab.

There's another layer to the, too, and that's the Daniels saluting the legendary career of Michelle Yeoh, an actor of unusual strength, humor, and dignity.

Everything Everywhere All At Once is about accepting people for who they are and keeping your commitments. Everything Everywhere All At Once is physically, emotionally, and spiritually graceful. There’s a little bit of everything for everyone, is my point. The image of Evelyn wearing a googly eye on her forehead is absurd at first sight but deeply powerful in context. It is unsurprising because their performances were superb, and the Academy Awards is “woke,” like the Super Bowl. The movie is a parade of vibes; sometimes, those vibes don’t always… Yeoh’s Evelyn Wang is a fifty-something woman smothered by responsibilities and disappointments. [The Goonies](https://decider.com/movie/the-goonies/) and [Indiana Jones And The Temple Of Doom](https://decider.com/movie/indiana-jones-and-the-temple-of-doom/). I’ll bet some folks who cringe at anything they’re told is “woke” probably aren’t interested in watching a movie about a Chinese family and would have preferred one of the movie’s villains, played by the great Jamie Lee Curtis, to have played the lead instead of Michelle Yeoh. The Daniels, as EEAAO’s collaborators are cheekily known, serve up an experience that is the exact opposite of Woody Allen’s joke about two diners complaining about the terrible food and the small portions. I would imagine the anti-woke crowd would also be uncomfortable with the indie blockbuster’s view that queerness is eternal and inevitable and exists in every dimension. It is a movie that asks its audience to sit back, relax, and truly, deeply imagine living life through the eyes of someone different, to embrace another’s unique challenges while celebrating what makes them different from you and vice versa.
