‘Everything Everywhere All at Once’ Wins (Almost) Everything at the 2023 Oscars
It was a goodnight for the verse-jumping family sci-fi drama, and the awards were spread across a variety of movies, blending expected winners with surprises.

Given the events of last year’s memorable-for-the-wrong-reasons Academy Awards, everyone was likely either hoping for a buzzy reprise or (on the producers’ front) a quiet evening. As it happens, the show tended towards the latter.
And the viral, memorable moments are mostly going to be ed for being on the positive side –– Everything Everywhere All at Once’ proving to be an awards powerhouse still.
Nominated for 11 Oscars, the indie sci-fi film might not have seemed to be potential Oscar bait; could a movie with dildo fights and hot dog fingers really win over stuffy voters? But win them over it did, taking home seven awards, including the aforementioned acting triumphs, Best Original Screenplay, Best Director and Best Picture. Its cast and crew were universally thrilled with their recognition and pulsed with joy.

Elsewhere, it was also a good night for ‘RRR.'
The ceremony around those blips of happy success was more mundane, feeling like a safe overcorrection in the Jimmy Kimmel drawing from the book of Oscar Hosting 101 (he arrived on stage under a parachute having spoofed ‘Maverick’) it was all blandly factory produced.
Presenter banter was slight and cheesy (enlivened by Tony Scott).
It might not have been the most memorable show, but some of the moments will linger longer than the sting of any slap.
