The indie hit Everything Everywhere All at Once was the biggest winner at the 95th Academy Awards on March 12. The landmark film grabbed seven Oscars out of its total 11 nominations and was widely praised for a number of reasons, including the casting which celebrates Asian and Asian-American stars in Hollywood.
At the ceremony, the picture earned three of the unprecedented four nominations for Asian actors in the acting categories.
"Ladies, don't let anyone tell you you are past your prime," Michelle Yeoh said while receiving the Best Actress award, the first Asian to win in the category.
Ke Huy Quan has made one of the greatest comebacks in Hollywood with Everything Everywhere All at Once. "I cannot believe it is happening to me," he said while accepting the Best Supporting Actor award, the second male Asian actor to take home the trophy in the category.
Other major wins for the metaphysical multiverse comedy, include Best Picture, Best Original Screenplay (the Daniels), Best Supporting Actress (Jamie Lee Curtis), and Best Film Editing (Paul Rogers).
Nevertheless, apart from the Oscars, Everything Everywhere was also nominated in 10 different categories at BAFTA but won just one - Paul Rogers for Best Editing. At Critics' Choice Movie Awards, the film won five trophies out of its 14 nominations - for best picture, best-supporting actor for Quan, best editing for Rogers, and best director as well as the best original screenplay for Daniels.
Of the six nominations at the Golden Globe awards, the multiverse sci-fi bagged two trophies - one for Quan in Best Supporting Actor - Motion Picture, and the other for Yeoh in Best Actress - Motion Picture Comedy or Musical.
Everything Everywhere also won in all the categories it was nominated for at the Screen Actors Guild Awards. While Curtis, Yeoh, and Quan won in their respective acting categories, the film also grabbed the Outstanding Performance by a Cast in a Motion Picture award.
