the comedy “Everything Everywhere All” leads the race with eleven nominations

The Oscar nominations ceremony, the most prestigious event of the awards season in Hollywood, took place on Tuesday January 24 morning in Los Angeles for a very open competition this year, with ten works in the running in the category of best feature film.

Unsurprisingly, the science fiction film Everything Everywhere All at Onceleads the dance with eleven nominations, including Best Picture, Best Actress for Michelle Yeoh, and two Best Supporting Actress nominations for Jamie Lee Curtis and Stephanie Hsu.

This crazy film tells the story of a laundromat owner immersed in parallel universes. In particular, it is ahead of the German feature film In the west, nothing is newIrish tragicomedy The Banshees of Inisherin which gets nine nominations each, the biopic Elvis on the rock’n’roll legend (8 nominations), and the very intimate The Fabelmans by Steven Spielberg (7 nominations).
