The 95th Academy Awards saw a major triumph for Asian representation as “Everything, Everywhere, All at Once” was crowned Best Picture. The film, a psychedelic comedy-drama with a multiverse adventure, won a total of seven awards, including Best Director, Best Actress, Best Supporting Actress, and Best Supporting Actor. It also won for best editing and best original screenplay. “Everything, Everywhere, All at Once” was not just critically acclaimed but also a popular choice.
The win was a major night for Asian and Asian American representation in the film industry. The film’s success was an important step forward, especially since there has been a long-standing lack of representation for Asian actors and filmmakers in the mainstream film industry. The film was directed by two filmmakers, Dan Kwan and Daniel Scheinert, and produced by David S. Goyer.
The cast included notable actors like Michelle Yeoh, Stephanie Hsu, and Jamie Lee Curtis. This year’s Oscars saw some of the biggest names in Hollywood gather to celebrate the achievements of the film industry. With the pandemic still ongoing, the ceremony was a mix of in-person and virtual attendance.
“Everything, everywhere, at once” has been praised for its boldness, creativity, and originality, which are qualities that are often not recognized in traditional Hollywood films. The film’s success has opened doors for more diverse and inclusive storytelling in the film industry. The Best Picture win for “Everything, Everywhere, All at Once” is a significant moment for the film industry, as it represents a shift towards more diverse and inclusive storytelling. It was a well-deserved win for a film that stood out for its uniqueness and creativity.
