Happy Oscars Sunday to A24, Netflix, Sarah Polley, and… for the major categories, no one else. It was a triumphant night for Everything Everywhere All at Once, which won seven of its 11 nominations, including the top prize for Best Picture. It also dominated in the acting categories, with Michelle Yeoh, Ke Huy Quan, and Jamie Lee Curtis all recognized for their work in the genre-defying romp.
Writer/director Sarah Polley won the Best Adapted Screenplay award for Women Talking, but Netflix’s All Quiet on the Western Front took home four wins, including Best International Feature, while Brendan Fraser was awarded the prize for Best Actor in The Whale and Indian blockbuster RRR had voters doing “Naatu Naatu” with their ballots.
Nominated films that were shut out include The Banshees of Inisherin, Triangle of Sadness, and TÁR, with Rihanna and Lady Gaga both losing out on the Best Song award, while All Quiet beat out Son Lux and John Williams for the Best Score award.
The twists and turns were unexpected, but that’s the Oscars for you. For more, check out where to stream all of this year’s nominated films, and look forward to Consequence updating its ranked list of every Best Picture winner since 1929 with the newly anointed winner.
