Comedy drama Everything Everywhere All At Once has cleaned up at the 2023 Academy Awards – but there was glory for Scotland as a Stirling screenwriter's film was named best international flick.
World champion triathlete Lesley Paterson co-wrote a film adaptation of All Quiet On The Western Front after reading the book as a schoolgirl in Stirling. The German-language film, picked up by Netflix 16 years after Lesley first bought the rights to the novel, won Best International Picture at the Oscars last night.
It also won Best Cinematography, Best Original Score and Best Production Design – but missed out on the coveted Best Picture award after Everything Everywhere All At Once swept the board. The Mirror reports the film won seven Oscars and star Michelle Yeoh made history as the first Asian to win a Best Actress gong.
