Everything Everywhere All at Once has won best picture at the Academy Awards in Los Angeles.
Hailed as a breakthrough for Hollywood diversity for Asian-American themes and largely Asian cast, the surreal superhero comedy was the favourite to win the top award at the 2023 Oscars.
Written and directed by Daniel Kwan and Daniel Scheinert, AKA “the Daniels”, Everything Everywhere All at Once stars Michelle Yeoh as a laundromat owner who stumbles into alternate universes as she tries to deal with tax and marital difficulties.
Everything Everywhere All at Once has already featured strongly on the awards circuit, winning the key Producers Guild best film award, and receiving nominations for best film from Bafta and best film (musical or comedy) from the Golden Globes. Everything Everywhere All at Once triumphed in a 10-strong field at the Oscars, beating contenders that included Steven Spielberg’s The Fabelmans, Cate Blanchett-starring Tár, and the German war drama All Quiet on the Western Front.
