AND THE WINNER:


EVERYTHING EVERYWHERE ALL AT ONCE (PRODUCED BY DANIEL KWAN, DANIEL SCHEINERT & JAMES WANG)

This is the first win and nomination for James Wang. Daniel Kwan and Daniel Scheinert have each won their second award on their third nomination. They both won screenplay for Everything Everywhere All at Once (2022) and were also nominated for directing for the same film. With this prize Everything Everywhere All At Once wins seven awards from its twelve nominations. The film won for picture, leading actress (Yeoh), supporting actor (Quan), supporting actress (Hsu), original screenplay, costume design and film editing. It was also nominated for director, ensemble, production design, sound & visual effects.

EEAAO (Everything Everywhere All at Once) is truly the film of 2022 and has been since I first saw the film on 16th May of 2022. I knew absolutely nothing going into the film other than Michelle Yeoh starred and that the film was directed by the Daniels who'd previously directed 2016's Swiss Army Man. I was floored immediately by the film and with each rewatch (3 more times currently) I have fallen in love even more with finding no issues with the film and thinking it to be practically perfect. I am just so glad that I am not alone in thinking the film is perfect and that when we revalute the film year in the decades to come I'm sure we will all still the film to be the best of the year.
