Everything Everywhere All at Once Wins Big at 95th Oscars

The 95th Academy Awards, held at the Dolby Theatre in Hollywood and hosted by Jimmy Kimmel, saw 'Everything Everywhere All at Once' dominate with six Oscars, including Best Picture, Best Director for Daniel Kwan and Daniel Scheinert, Best Actress for Michelle Yeoh, Best Supporting Actor for Ke Huy Quan, Best Supporting Actress for Jamie Lee Curtis, and Best Original Screenplay. The film, distributed in Italy by I Wonder Pictures, was praised for its inclusive multiverse narrative. Ke Huy Quan, a former refugee, delivered an emotional speech about the American dream, while Michelle Yeoh, the first non-white Best Actress winner since 2002, dedicated her award to dreamers. The Best Documentary Feature went to 'Navalny' by Daniel Roher, focusing on Alexey Navalny's poisoning and political activism; his wife Yulia Navalnaya spoke from the stage. Other winners included Brendan Fraser (Best Actor for 'The Whale'), 'All Quiet on the Western Front' (International Feature, Cinematography, Production Design), 'Black Panther: Wakanda Forever' (Costume Design), 'Avatar: The Way of Water' (Visual Effects), 'Top Gun: Maverick' (Sound), 'RRR' (Best Original Song for 'Naatu Naatu'), and 'Pinocchio' (Animated Feature). The ceremony, marked by Kimmel's jokes about the champagne carpet and a parachute entrance, was described as rhythmic but boring.
