Hollywood’s A-listers turned out Sunday for the all-important Oscars ceremony, with “Everything Everywhere All at Once,” a wacky sci-fi film featuring multiple universes, sex toys and hot dog fingers, the highly unorthodox frontrunner for best picture.
Michelle Yeoh’s heroine Evelyn must harness the power of her alter egos living in parallel universes, which feature hot dogs as human fingers, talking rocks and giant dildos used as weapons.
But although the quirky film is widely expected to dominate Oscars night, it could hit a stumbling block for best picture. Another potential beneficiary is “Top Gun: Maverick,” the long-awaited sequel from Tom Cruise — no less a figure than Steven Spielberg recently said the actor and his film “might have saved the entire theatrical industry” from the pandemic.Toss-ups“I can’t remember a year, at least in the time I’ve been doing it, where three of the four acting categories were true toss-ups,” said Feinberg.
Angela Bassett, the first Marvel superhero actor ever nominated with “Black Panther: Wakanda Forever,” is up against “Everything Everywhere” star Curtis and “Banshees” actress Kerry Condon.Ke Huy Quan, the former child star of “Indiana Jones and the Temple of Doom” and “The Goonies,” has won every best supporting actor prize going and looks near-certain to complete a comeback story for the ages.
He was later banned from Oscars events for a decade, meaning he cannot present the best actress statuette this year, as is traditional.Blockbusters
