Favorite of the 95th Oscars, Everything Everywhere All At Once, with 11 nominations, wasted no time in getting his hands on his first major statuettes.
The former child child starIndianaJones Ke Huy Quanwhich had turned its back on Hollywood for lack of roles for Asian actors, won Oscar for Best Supporting Actor. “This statuette is for my 84-year-old mother who is watching the ceremony at home and has sacrificed so much for my brother and me. My journey began in a migrant camp and I do not know by what chance I am on the biggest stage in Hollywood. This is the American dream personified. Always believe in your dreams”. His competitors were Brendan Gleeson, The Banshees of Inisherin, Brian Tyree Henry, Causeway, Judd Hirsch, The Fabelmans and Barry Keoghan, The Banshees of Inisherin.
The sci-fi and kung-fu film by duo Les Daniel hit on both sides of the feminine. Jamie Lee Curtis left with the other Best Supporting Actor Statuette. This is the first Oscar for the actress in her sixties. “Thank you to all the viewers who have supported the thousands of genre films I have made. I think of my parents Tony Curtis and Janet Leigh, also named in their time. I don’t realize, I won an Oscar”. She was facing Angela Bassett, Black Panther: Wakanda Forever, Hong Chau, The Whale, Kerry Condon, The Banshees of Inisherin, Stephanie Hsu, Everything Everywhere All at Once.
Greatest success in independent cinema and carried by the charisma of Michelle Yeoh, Everything Everywhere All At Once established himself as the conquering outsider of this year in front of The Fabelmans or The Banshees of Inisherin, early darlings of this awards season and winners at the Toronto and Venice Festivals. Psychedelic, this journey through parallel universes and the portrait of a mother ready to do anything to find her daughter on a low budget offer unprecedented visibility to Asian talents.
