Academy Awards, how many trophies will the 11 nominees ‘Everything Everywhere All at Once’ take?
The 95th Academy Awards will be held at the Dolby Theater in Hollywood, Los Angeles, USA at 9 am (Korean time) on the 13th.
As director Park Chan-wook's 'Decision to Break Up' did not make it to the final nominations, it is disappointing that this year's Academy Awards has no connection with our film or actor. In 2020, the movie 'Parasite' (directed by Bong Joon-ho) won a total of 4 awards, including Best Picture, the Academy Award's highest award, Best Director, Best International Feature Film, and Best Original Screenplay, and actress Yoon Yeo-jeong won Asia's first Best Supporting Actress trophy in 2021, drawing attention all over the world. has surprised.
Various works that combine artistic quality and popularity were nominated for this year's 'Academy Awards'. Awards will be given in a total of 23 categories, including Best Picture, Best Director, Best Leading and Supporting Actors, Best Screenplay, and Best Cinematography.
'Everything Everywhere All at Once' (directed by Daniel Kwan and Daniel Scheinert) is attracting attention as it received the most nominations in a total of 11 categories, including Best Picture, Best Director, and Best Actress. Including the master Steven Spielberg's 'The Pavelmans', the Netflix films 'All Happening on the Western Front' (directed by Edward Burr), the box office record-setting 'Avatar: Waterways' (directed by James Cameron) and 'Top Gun: Maverick' (directed by Joseph Kosinski) and other prominent films were nominated.
It is expected that 'Everything Everywhere All at Once', which was nominated in 11 categories, has a high chance of winning the Best Picture award. War films that reflect current world sentiments, such as ‘All Is All Happening on the Western Front’ and ‘The Banshee of Inisherin’ (Martin McDonagh), are also attracting attention. Works that showed the best box office performance, such as 'Avatar: Path of Water' and 'Top Gun: Maverick', were also nominated. There seems to be no disagreement even if Pavelmans, who created director Steven Spielberg's autobiographical story, receives the award.
In addition to director Ruben Östlund of 'Triangle of Sorrow', all directors nominated for the Best Director Award were also nominated for Best Picture. As all of the works received positive reviews from critics, all of the nominated directors are outstanding.
The most likely candidates for Best Actor are Austin Butler and Colin Farrell. Austin Butler was praised for his near-perfect acting as Elvis Presley in 'Elvis', and Colin Farrell won the Best Actor Award at the Venice International Film Festival last year and the Golden Globe Award for Best Actor this year for 'The Banshee of Inisherin'. The Best Actress Award is being viewed as a battle between Cate Blanchett for 'TAR Tar' and Yeo Jae-kyung for 'Everything Everywhere All at Once'.
