A film about family trauma, talking rocks, and a raccoon chef has won Best Picture at the 95th Academy Awards, and we couldn’t be more excited.
Of course, we’re talking about Everything Everywhere All at Once, the wonderfully weird multiverse-hopping movie that took the world — and awards season — by storm. After earning 11 Oscar nominations, the film walked away with seven awards: Best Picture, Best Original Screenplay, Best Director, Best Actress, Best Supporting Actor, Best Supporting Actress, and Best Editing.
Everything Everywhere All at Once‘s victory comes at the end of a mammoth awards season where it was nominated for Best Musical/Comedy at the Golden Globes and took home Best Picture at the Critics Choice Awards. Even more impressive is its sweep of Hollywood’s guild awards, including the Screen Actors Guild, the Writers Guild of America, the Producers Guild of America, and the Directors Guild of America.
For reference as to how impressive that is, only four other films have accomplished that sweep: American Beauty, No Country for Old Men, Slumdog Millionaire, and Argo, all of which went on to win Best Picture at the Oscars.
