On March 12, the 95th annual Academy Awards honored the best films of 2022. A24’s “Everything Everywhere All at Once,” directed by filmmaking duo Dan Kwan and Daniel Scheinert, was the night’s big victor, taking home seven statuettes—including for best picture.
The sci-fi action-comedy headed into the ceremony with a whopping 11 nominations, then kicked off the proceedings with back-to-back wins for Ke Huy Quan for best supporting actor and Jamie Lee Curtis for best supporting actress. “Dreams are something you have to believe in. I almost gave up on mine,” Quan said in his acceptance speech. “To all of you out there, please keep your dreams alive.”
Ke Huy Quan Tells Us ‘Everything’ Later in the night, the Daniels took home gold for original screenplay and directing. Soon afterward, Michelle Yeoh capped off the cast’s run with a win for best lead actress—not only the Hollywood legend’s first Academy Award, but also the first statuette for an Asian actor in the category.
“For all the little boys and girls who look like me watching tonight, this is a beacon of hope and possibilities,” Yeoh said. “This is proof that dreams come true. And ladies, never let anybody tell you that you are past your prime.”
Brendan Fraser tied a bow around his own comeback story with a best lead actor win for “The Whale.”
“I started in this business 30 years ago, and things, they didn’t come easily to me. But there was a facility that I didn’t appreciate at the time, until it stopped,” he said. “And I just want to say thank you for this acknowledgement. Because it couldn’t be done without my cast.”
Brendan Fraser Isn't the New Guy In Town Anymore Best international film winner “All Quiet on the Western Front” rolled its way to four Oscars—the second-highest tally of the night—a run that also includes best original score, cinematography, and production design.
