Everything Everywhere All At Once dominated most of the major categories at the Academy Awards.

It was a major sweep for Everything Everywhere All At Once at the 95th Academy Awards, with the film taking home best picture, director, screenplay, actress, supporting actress and supporting actor among others. It was a major victory for A24’s cult sensation (and Golden Schmoes favorite). Netflix’s All Quiet on the Western Front remake cleaned-up in most of the technical categories, while The Whale was the only other film to take home more than one award, nabbing two. While there weren’t many huge surprises, many of the wins this year were quite emotional, with Brendan Fraser, Michelle Yeoh, Ke Huy Quan and Jamie Lee Curtis all first time winners who were visibly moved by their wins. Of them all, Ke Huy Quan’s speech after he won Best Supporting Actor arguably stole the show, and, unlike last year, there was no Oscar slap to mar the celebration.
