T10 WHATS UP! March 12 - 18, 2023 for better or for worse. At once an absurdist comedy, a martial arts-heavy action film and an expression of various philosophies from existential- ism to nihilism, "Everything Everywhere All at Once" was written and directed by Daniel Kwon and Daniel Scheinert ("Swiss Army Man," 2016), known collectively as "The Daniels," both of whom are nominated for Best Director this year. Other categories in which the film is nominated in- clude Best Actor in a Support- ing Role (for Quan), Best Ac- tress in a Leading Role (for Yeoh), Best Actress in a Sup- porting Role (for Curtis and for Hsu), Best Costume Design, Best Film Editing, Best Music (Original Score) and (Original Song) for "This Is a Life" by Ryan Lott, David Byrne and Mitski, and the coveted Best Picture Award. Also vying for Best Picture this year are "Avatar: The Way of Water," a sequel to the origi- nal, three-time Oscar-winning Avatar film from 2009; Netf- lix's German war epic "All Qui- et on the Western Front"; Mar- tin McDonagh's ("In Bruges," 2008) bromantic dramedy "The Banshees of Inisherin"; Baz Luhrmann's ("The Great Gatsby," 2013) musical biopic "Elvis"; Steven Spielberg's ("Schindler's List," 1993) post- war cinematic drama "The Fa- belmans"; "Tár," the Cate Blanchett-led ("Carol," 2015) biopic about great German composer Lydia Tár; "Top Gun: Maverick," the sequel to the 1986 classic "Top Gun"; "Triangle of Sadness," the Ru- ben Östlund ("Force Majeure," 2014) dramedy set aboard a pri- vate cruise; and "Women Talk- ing," which tells the harrowing story of a group of Amish women grappling with their faith amid conflict in 2010. Interestingly, this year marks the first time in 51 years (since the 44th edition of the Oscars) that both Supporting Actor/Actress categories fea- ture two nominees from the same film: Curtis and Hsu for "Everything Everywhere All at Once," and Brendan Gleeson ("The Guard," 2011) and Barry Keoghan ("The Killing of a Sa- cred Deer," 2017) for "The Ban- shees of Inisherin." It is also the first time in 88 years (since the seventh Academy Awards) that each of the stars in the Best Actor in a Leading Role category is a first-time nomi- nee. The ceremony, which will be hosted for a third time by late-night pundit Kimmel, will be broadcast live from Los An- geles' Dolby Theatre at Ova- tion Hollywood and will be produced for the second time by Glenn Weiss and Ricky Kir- shner of White Cherry Enter- tainment. Kirshner will also reprise his role as the ceremo- ny's director for an eighth year. continued from page T2 'All at Once': Yeoh-led dramedy, others celebrated at 95th Oscars TV FEATURE Oscar nominee Michelle Yeoh
