Excellent movie, apt title. Since premiering at the 2022 South by Southwest Film Festival, Everything Everywhere All At Once has lived up to its name. The Michelle Yeoh-starring action-comedy was a global hit in cinemas. It was a well-deserved audience favourite, too. And, it's utterly beloved by awards bodies. The latest accolades showering it with affection? The 2023 Oscars, which has just given the film a year-best haul of 11 nominations. Everything Everywhere All At Once scored Academy Award nods for almost everything it could, in fact, in a year that broke the record for the most Asian acting nominees ever. Yeoh pops up for Best Actress and made history doing so, as the first nominee in the category who identifies as Asian. Her co-stars Ke Huy Quan and Stephanie Hsu were also recognised, in the Best Supporting Actor and Best Supporting Actress fields respectively. And, for the Brendan Fraser-led drama The Whale, Hong Chau also received a nomination in the latter category. Similarly making history: the infectious song 'Naatu Naatu' from explosive action-musical RRR, which became the first tune from an Indian feature to get recognition in the field. Yes, that's a baffling statistic given India's prolific film industry. While Everything Everywhere All At Once leads the contenders overall, it has plenty of company. German war drama All Quiet on the Western Front and Irish comedy The Banshees of Inisherin each picked up nine nominations, while the Australian-made Elvis nabbed eight, Steven Spielberg's The Fabelmans scored seven, the Cate Blanchett-led Tár and high-flying Tom Cruise vehicle Top Gun: Maverick received six each, and Marvel sequel Black Panther: Wakanda Forever collected five. Naturally, Blanchett received her eighth Oscar nomination for Tár. No, fellow Australian Baz Luhrmann wasn't nominated for Best Director for Elvis. But many of the Elvis Presley biopic's nods were for behind-the-scenes categories, which means nominations for the likes of cinematographer Mandy Walker, plus costume and production designer Catherine Martin. Among the other highlights, Normal People favourite Paul Mescal received his first Oscar nomination for father-daughter drama Aftersun; the always-excellent Brian Tyree Henry earned some love for his thoughtful turn in Causeway; Andrea Riseborough capitalised upon celebrity support to score a look-in for To Leslie; and movies with scene-stealing donkeys had the Academy braying with love, thanks to The Banshees of Inisherin's nominations and a Best International Feature Film nod for EO. Also, gorgeous Irish drama The Quiet Girl was recognised in the same field, and wonderful documentary Fire of Love is among the doco contenders. And, the new Oscar-nominee with the best name? It's Best Animated Short competitor My Year of Dicks. That said, the Academy couldn't find room for far too many other exceptional films — and the people behind them — in 2023's batch of nominees. That includes completely leaving out phenomenal South Korean thriller Decision to Leave in all fields, deciding that female filmmakers weren't worthy of any Best Director nominations this year, ignoring Viola Davis for The Woman King and Danielle Deadwyler for Till (and Black actors in the lead acting categories overall), overlooking Moonage Daydream for Best Documentary, and only giving RRR that one nod for Best Song. The Oscars will announce this year's winners on Monday, March 13, Australian and New Zealand time, with Jimmy Kimmel hosting.
