Everything Everywhere All at Once: This is what the Academy of Motion Picture Arts and Sciences awarded for the multiple virtues of this film
Everything Everywhere All at Once is already the most awarded film of all time and it actually has enough virtues for such an achievement. The film has emerged as the most unlikely heavyweight of the Academy Awards. An absurdist independent film combining existentialism and surrealism, released in March of last year, it has not only swept the Oscars, but is making history for its subject matter and originality. When "Everything Everywhere All at Once" was released in theaters, it revived the niche film industry after two years of pandemic, attracting moviegoers to art-house theaters and becoming the biggest box-office hit in that genre. But even then, talk of awards was extremely remote. It wasn't until late in the year, when it won Best Picture at the Gotham Awards that interest in the film began. And from then on, affection for it continued to build. Doubts that the film was too weird for older academy voters were dispelled. On the contrary, such originality was rewarded and celebrated by critics and audiences alike. The film won these Oscars: Best Picture, Best Director, Best Actress, Best Supporting Actress, Best Original Screenplay, Best Song.
