After months of anticipation, the Academy Awards finally returned to Los Angeles on Sunday—and what a night it was! Everything Everywhere All at Once swept the ceremony and won awards in seven different categories, including best picture.
Everything Everywhere came into the night as a front-runner with 11 nominations, and it lived up to the hype. In addition to picking up the best picture Oscar, Daniel Kwan and Daniel Scheinert also collected awards for directing and writing the original screenplay for this film by each other’s side.
Everything Everywhere also dominated the acting categories with three wins for its stars Michelle Yeoh (best actress), Ke Huy Quan (best supporting actor), and Jamie Lee Curtis (best supporting actress). They were joined by The Whale’s Brendan Fraser, who was named the best actor at this year’s Oscars.
It was also a big night for the German anti-war epic All Quiet on the Western Front, which came into the night with nine nominations and ended up winning four awards. It was named the best international feature film and won big in several technical categories—including best original score, production design, and cinematography.
The 95th Academy Awards returned to the Dolby Theatre in Los Angeles on March 12, with Jimmy Kimmel hosting the show for the third time.
