At the Academy Awards last night, the Daniels’ multiversal existentialist action dramedy Everything Everywhere All at Once won big. It ended up with seven of the eleven awards for which it was nominated (more, in both cases, than any other picture). Those wins were Best Director, Best Picture, Best Original Screenplay, Best Actress, Best Supporting Actor, Best Supporting Actress, and Best Editing. I quite enjoyed the movie and find these awards deserving.

As Jeff Blehar predicted, Top Gun: Maverick (which I also quite liked) did not win Best Picture, though his case for its greatness is solid. For National Review writers’ takes on the nominated films, see here; for a full list of winners, see here.
