It has often been said that the film that has garnered the most nominations for the oscar, was the one who was best positioned to win the Hollywood Academy’s top award. And this year, it has that prime spot All everywhere at the same time.
It has already won no less than 335 international awards and has 356 nominations for different awards, counting the 11 Oscars. Finally, at the ceremony on Sunday March 12, she won seven statuettes: including the main categories, such as director, best film and best actress.
It’s also true that many times that ratio of nominations didn’t translate into the Best Picture award. We’ll talk about it a couple of paragraphs below.
The film “The Daniels” (Daniel Kwan and Daniel Scheinert) had 11 nominations, but managed to win 10 statuettes. Why? Because in the Best Supporting Actress category, she slipped not one but two names. They are Jamie Lee Curtis and Stephanie Hsu. She took seven.
When more isn’t better
We said that the film with the most nominations didn’t always end up taking the most precious statuette, that of the best film of the year.
Quickly reviewing, last year was the most nominated the power of the dog, which had a dozen applications. In the end it won only one award, important, of course, as best director, for New Zealander Jane Campion.
And which one won? tailby Sian Heder, who made 3 out of 3, because he took the statuettes for everything that was nominated: film, adapted screenplay and supporting actor, for Troy Kotsur, actor deaf since birth.
At the 2021 ceremony, Mank, by David Fincher, landed in the favourites, with its 10 nominations. It won 2, Best Cinematography and Best Production Design. The Best Picture Oscar went to nomadic landby Chloé Zhao, which earned 3 (Film, Director and Lead Actress, for Frances McDormand) of the six nominations it had.
In 2020, the year in which parasitesby Korean Bong Joon-ho, surprised by winning best film and best international film, jokerwith Joaquín Phoenix, he was the most nominated, with 11. He was followed by the Irish, 1917 AND Once upon a time… in Hollywood, with 10 nominations. More is not always better for the Academy.
where to see it
All everywhere at the same time It premiered in Argentine theaters on June 9 last year and in its 16 weeks on the bill in 2022 it sold 57,266 tickets. It was the 59th among all films presented in Argentina that year. It returned to theaters on February 16 and was seen by an additional 14,156 viewers since its rerun.
It fared better in the rest of the world. It had a relatively low cost (25 million dollars), was produced by the Russo brothers (those of the last two of avengers) and grossed $104 million internationally.
And now it’s also available on the Amazon Prime Video streaming platform, the same company that co-produced it Argentina, 1985.
What the film is about But in those two twenty hours so many things happen that they could even make a miniseries (which would end and could not continue), a series or more films. But no, they put it all in one package and garnished it with breakneck editing and sound effects to make the viewer feel quite bombarded from all sides of the theatre.
what’s the movie about
If you haven’t seen it, you’ve heard that the plot is quite complex, with the multiverse in between.
Let’s try to summarize how the film begins and what it is about.
Michelle Yeoh is an immigrant who has something of a Laverap luck. Evelyn is married to Raymond (Ke Huy Quanwhich as a child he was in Indiana Jones and the Temple of Doom, but don’t tell me you see a familiar face because I don’t believe you). And she has as much trouble in the back of the laundromat, where she lives with her daughter Joy (Stephanie Hsu), or her father Gong Gong (James Hong, who is known) as she has back taxes to deal with.
And here is Evelyn and Raymond, who wants a divorce, talking to the tax agent Deirdre (a Jamie Lee Curtis misaligned, at least in our daily universe). But that’s where another version of Raymond “enters” her body, and it’s this other Raymond who gives Evelyn instructions on how to behave.
She doesn’t understand anything, but she listens to him. Or something similar.
Far away is the idea of telling how the film continues, not only because it would lose the surprise for future viewers, but because it would be intricate and endless.
The Daniels have a visual style somewhere between crazy and logical (not illogical). Because if in a parallel universe, instead of fingers, the characters have something similar to slightly flaccid sausages, it’s no wonder.
The film respects the rules of fairness, with characters of different ethnicities, sexualities and even prejudices that will be banned.
What I recommend is to go and see All everywhere at the same time rested, well prepared and with open senses. Open mind, as they say.
