LOS ANGELES — It's been a year since "Everything Everywhere All at Once" premiered at South by Southwest in Austin, Texas. No one proclaimed it an Oscar contender then. But that was before it became a box office hit, before we were reintroduced to Ke Huy Quan, before Jamie Lee Curtis turned into a weapon of mass promotion.
Now, on the eve of the Oscars, this loopy, frenetic family drama appears poised to win best picture, along with several other awards.
If it duplicates its showing at the Screen Actors Guild Awards, netting individual honors for Quan and Curtis along with star Michelle Yeoh, "Everything Everywhere All at Once" would become just the third movie to win three acting Oscars. (The others: "A Streetcar Named Desire" and "Network.")
