The absurdist comedy-drama Everything Everywhere All at Once has led the Oscars 2023 nominations list this year with 11 nods. The sci-fi hit, directed by Daniel Kwan and Daniel Scheinert, tells the story of Wang, an aging Chinese immigrant who is swept up in a bizarre and magical adventure that has her exploring other universes and connecting with the lives she could have led.
The film’s lead star, Michelle Yeoh is also nominated in the Best Actress category while co-stars Ke Huy Quan and Stephanie Hsu are both in contention for Best Supporting Actor and Best Supporting Actress respectively. Jamie Lee Curtis also earned a Supporting Actress nod for the same film.
Notable this year is the inclusion of RRR, the record-breaking South Indian film, which is continuing its haul of international recognitions. The Telugu film’s song, Naatu Naatu, is nominated in the Best Original Song category.
Steven Spielberg’s The Fabelmans struggled to catch on with audiences, but the director’s autobiographical coming-of-age tale landed him his 20th Oscar nomination and eighth nod for best-director. John Williams, his longtime composer, extended his record for the most Oscar nominations for a living person at 53 that trails only Walt Disney’s 59.
Oscar winners, to be announced on March 12, will be voted on by the roughly 10,000 actors, producers, directors and film craftspeople who make up the Academy of Motion Picture Arts and Sciences.
