The 95th annual Academy Awards aired live Sunday night from the Dolby Theatre in Los Angeles.
Jimmy Kimmel returned as host for the third time. He first took the helm in 2017 – the infamous year of “envelopegate” where La La Land was announced as the winner instead of Moonlight. However, this awards show went much smoother and without any major incidents.
Everything Everywhere All At Once was the big winner of the night, earning a total of seven Oscars, including Best Picture. The film’s seven wins make it the most won by a Best Picture winner since Slumdog Millionaire, which took home eight awards in 2008.
Among Everything Everywhere‘s wins include Michelle Yeoh for Best Actress. She made history as the first Asian woman to win Best Actress.
In addition to Yeoh, Everything Everywhere emerged victorious in two other acting categories with wins for Jamie Lee Curtis for Supporting Actress...

SEEOscar nominee profile: The Daniels (‘Everything Everywhere All at Once’) would be 3rd duo to win for directing
The outlandish sci-fi family film “Everything Everywhere All at Once” entered these awards with the most nominations. It picked up 11 bids including Best Picture, Best Director (Daniel Kwan and Daniel Scheinert), and Best Actress (Michelle Yeoh). And it has been a good season for the film overall. Though it lost the Golden Globe for Best Film Comedy/Musical to fellow Oscar nominee “The Banshees of Inisherin,” it then went on a (mostly) uninterrupted winning streak.

On March 11, 2022, exactly one year and one day before the 95th Academy Awards will take place on Sunday, a supercharged and wacky movie called “Everything Everywhere All at Once” premiered at the South by Southwest Film Festival. The second feature from a pair of music-video directors whose first film, “Swiss Army Man,” was mostly known as the flick in which Daniel Radcliffe played a farting corpse, it was an ideal SXSW movie, a chaotic genre mishmash that, in the words of Wrap reviewer Robert Abele, “swirls sci-fi, metaphysics, martial arts, slapstick, star power, and pop culture shout-outs into the type of experience that one can imagine the late exhibition gimmick impresario William Castle — he who notoriously wired theater seats so they buzzed — responding with, ‘Yeah, this doesn’t need my help.’”

Fresh and original is the ticket for this year’s Oscars. That is if “Everything Everywhere All at Once” (A24) wins as many categories as we predict — five out of eleven nominations. There’s a familiar feeling to the the loving family of actors and filmmakers flitting from event to event accepting prizes, that same surge of rooting interest that accompanied SAG Ensemble winners “Parasite” and “Coda” prior to their Best Picture wins. And the precursors are there.
How can “Everything Everywhere” lose? Well, there are many in the Academy who didn’t get on the bandwagon; where some are moved by a beleaguered immigrant family finally pulling their act together, others find the multiverse comedy chaotic and weird. And the BAFTAs only awarded the film one prize: Editing. That’s because the international bloc is leaning toward the only viable alternative to the very American “Everything Everywhere,” German Oscar...

Now that Mandy Walker (“Elvis”) has upset Claudio Miranda (“Top Gun: Maverick”) at the 37th American Society of Cinematographers Awards, all eyes are on next week’s Oscar ceremony, where she is well-positioned to take out another frontrunner, James Friend (“All Quiet on the Western Front”), and become the first female Dp to win the Academy Award for Best Cinematography.
The academy and ASC have awarded the same film only 17 times (47%), but eight of those have occurred between 2011 and 2022, giving the organizations a 66% correlation over the past 12 years. Put in perspective, that means the years since 2010 have posted practically the same amount of identical winners as the 24 preceding (nine).

Elvis cinematographer Mandy Walker cracked a glass ceiling on Sunday, becoming the first woman to win the American Society of Cinematographers Award in the feature competition during the 37th ASC Awards.
The crowd at the Beverly Hilton’s International Ballroom erupted with applause and gave Walker a lengthy standing ovation as her name was called.
“This is for all the women that win this award after me,” she said to enthusiastic applause, and she looked for to more women breaking more glass ceilings. “Thijs is an inclusive, representative community,” she said, adding, “I didn’t cry, I thought I was going to cry.”
She thanked Elvis director Baz Luhrmann for allowing her to “create magic with him;” Catherine Martin for her “support and inspiration; and her crew for “dancing with the camera and flying with the camera” during Austin Butler’s performance as Elvis.

March is already looking better at the box office than the last couple of months, at least in terms of new movies, as two new franchise sequels managed to open in the top five.
Seecas Awards: Oscar frontrunner ‘Top Gun: Maverick’ wins with sound mixers
The biggest release of the weekend was “Creed III,” starring Michael B. Jordan (also making his directorial debut), Jonathan Majors, and Tessa Thompson, which MGM released into 4,007 theaters on Friday with earlier previews on Wednesday and Thursday. Those previews added up to $5.5 million before being compiled into Friday numbers for a $22 million opening day. MGM estimates the movie to have made $58.7 million over the weekend, claiming it to be the highest-opening sports movie. It’s actually so close to the opening of Sony’s 2010 remake of “The Karate Kid” that they might want to wait until Sunday actuals come in first.

Guillermo del Toro’s Pinocchio continued its string of awards-season wins by taking the Cas Award for Animated Motion Picture. The first film award of the night, for Documentary, went to the sound team behind Neon’s David Bowie pic Moonage Daydream.

The final stretch of the 2023 Oscar season has started with voters casting their ballots for the winners of the 95th annual Academy Awards. All season long, Gold Derby has been interviewing dozens of the nominees, including all five contenders for Best Cinematography. Click on each cinematographer’s name below to watch each of these 20-minute interviews.
James Friend, “All Quiet on the Western Front”
The German-language film “All Quiet on the Western Front” is the third adaptation of the classic anti-war novel by Erich Maria Remarque, which follows Paul Bäumer (Felix Kammerer), an enthusiastic new soldier who quickly becomes hardened and traumatized by the realities of trench warfare. Friend describes the camerawork on the film “extremely challenging,” elaborating, “I look back and I don’t think I would have changed any element of it, but it was by far the most challenging project of my career to date.” His camerawork...

In this season’s competitive cinematography race, Mandy Walker’s bold lensing of Warner Bros.’ Elvis made her just the third woman ever nominated for an Academy Award in the category. Could she become the first to take home the Oscar?
Walker is joined by two other first-time nominees in James Friend, for Netflix’s All Quiet on the Western Front, and Florian Hoffmeister, for Focus Features’ Tár. Also in the running is veteran two-time winner Roger Deakins, who with his work for Searchlight’s Empire of Light earned his 16th nomination (extending Deakins’ distinction as the most nominated living cinematographer in the category).
The fifth contender is another veteran, Darius Khondji, who is nominated for his first collaboration with Alejandro G. Iñárritu.

“To get nominated (for an Oscar) is sort of like a dream since childhood,” says Santiago Mitre, writer-director of the Amazon Studios film “Argentina, 1985” that was nominated for an Academy Award for Best International Feature. “I’m even happier about the fact this movie is reaching audiences all over the world. We have a great cinematic tradition in Argentina, and this is an honor.” Watch our exclusive video interview above
“Argentina, 1985” tells the inspiring, fact-based story of a team of lawyers — led by Julio Strassera (portrayed by Argentinian star Ricardo Darin) — who courageously took on the heads of the bloody military dictatorship that ruled with kidnappings and torture during the so-called “Dirty War” in the country between 1976 and ’83. The powerful film, which won the Golden Globe this year for Best Picture – Non-English Language, is designed to reacquaint Argentina and the world with a cataclysmic time more than 40 years...

Edward Berger‘s “All Quiet on the Western Front” is, of course, not the first adaptation of Erich Maria Remarque‘s 1929 bestselling novel to be in Oscar contention. The 1930 adaptation, directed by Lewis Milestone, topped the 3rd Academy Awards, becoming the first film to win Best Picture and Best Director. It was nominated for two other awards, Best Cinematography and Best Writing (as it was known at the time), but lost both. Can Berger’s version win the two categories that Milestone’s lost?
Well, it’s favored to win one so far.

How do you create a cinematic language for the unconscious? That was the challenge for director Alejandro González Iñárritu and cinematographer Darius Khondji on “Bardo,” a movie that sprang from Iñárritu’s dreams, memories, and fantasies. “There is no story, there is no structure, there is no plot,” Iñárritu told IndieWire. “There’s just a mental landscape of a character.” Working with Khondji for the first time when his usual collaborator, Emmanuel “Chivo” Lubezki was booked on another project, Iñárritu discovered he had the ideal partner to translate his most personal experiences into images. “It was an incredible privilege to find another brother late in my life.”
Khondji and Iñárritu’s initial conversations were less about filmmaking than about the essence of what the filmmaking needed to convey. “Right from the beginning, he wanted me to understand how personal the story was,” Khondji said. “He talked to me about the...

“Babylon” got a big boost in its Oscar bid for Best Production Design with a win on February 18 at the Art Directors Guild Awards. Over the first 26 years of these prizes, the eventual Oscar winner has always numbered among the Adg nominees in the various genre categories. “Babylon” prevailed in the period picture race over three of its Oscar rivals – “All Quiet on the Western Front,” “Elvis” and “The Fabelmans” — plus “White Noise.”
The fifth Oscar nominee, “Avatar: The Way of Water,” lost the fantasy film prize to “Everything Everywhere All at Once.” The other nominees were “The Batman,” “Black Panther: Wakanda Forever” and “Nope.”
“Glass Onion: A Knives Out Mystery” won the contemporary category over “Bardo,” “Bullet Train,” “Tar” and “Top Gun: Maverick.”

“It’s a wonderful feeling,” says Darius Khondji while discussing his recent Best Cinematography Oscar nomination for “Bardo: False Chronicle of a Handful of Truths.” “It’s very wonderful for this movie. I’m very happy for all of us. For the director, [Alejandro González Iñárritu] and for the whole crew. They are behind each frame of the film and I just feel that it’s their nomination as much as mine. Especially Alejandro, he’s very much a director that’s behind every frame. It’s really his film.” Watch our video interview above.
“Bardo” tells the story of an acclaimed journalist-turned-documentarian named Silverio (Daniel Giménez Cacho) who goes on an introspective journey to reconcile with the past, the present and his Mexican identity. Khondji’s Oscar nomination is the second of his career; he earned his first for “Evita” in 1996.

Slowly but surely, the Oscars are starting to reflect the best in international film, rather than simply celebrating the most impressive achievements in American production.
That’s a good thing for world cinema — to be recognized at last by the historically Hollywood-centric awards show — but a tricky transition, as the Academy reinvents what the Oscars represent.
For the past 50 years, the org has largely relegated non-English-language cinematic achievements to the “international feature” corner.
But a recent push by Academy leadership to expand its membership in every conceivable direction — seeking diversity at home, gender parity where possible and greater representation of industry talent around the globe — has significantly boosted international participation. Today, roughly 20 of the organization’s nearly 10,000 members live abroad.
These overseas members are the new wild card in the voting process, embracing achievements that are no more “foreign” to them — as non-English films were once labeled — than your average Hollywood film.

The past year was a big one for autobiographical filmmaking, with James Gray’s childhood heartbreak in “Armageddon Time,” Sam Mendes’ ode to moviegoing in the UK with “Empire of Light,” Alejandro G. Iñarritu’s dreamlike self-reflexive filmmaker odyssey “Bardo,” and, of course, Steven Spielberg’s “The Fabelmans,” which turned the world’s most successful director into an Oscar frontrunner for his most personal movie. The others came up short in their own campaigns, but the best autobiographical movie of the past year was one the awards season never fully embraced.
Mia Hansen-Løve’s “One Fine Morning” is only the latest sensitive and personal project from the French auteur to build its drama from her own life. Among the recent movies that fall into that trend, it provides the strongest example of a filmmaker attuned to the challenges of drawing from her own story, as Hansen-Løve has done for years.

The film’s haul included Best Picture, Best Director, and Best Actress for Michelle Yeoh, who became the first actress of Asian descent nominated in the category. Writer-directors Daniel Kwan and Daniel Scheinert originally created the role for Jackie Chan. The A24 pic has leapt from plucky underdog to awards frontrunner in a matter of weeks, collecting impressive hauls at BAFTA and numerous others. A nomination for Best Supporting Actress Stephanie Hsu, who...

When the news that a "Teen Wolf" revival slated to stream on Paramount+ in 2022 was announced, fans of the classic MTV series were ecstatic. On Feb. 15, 2022, the cast of the movie revival was announced, and fans were happy to learn that many of the drama's original characters were returning! Notably missing on the list of returning cast members, however, was Dylan O'Brien, who played fan-favorite character Stiles Stilinski.
"Teen Wolf: The Movie" premiered on Paramount+ on Jan. 26. Read on to find out why O'Brien chose not to return to the followup film, and how Stiles's absence from the plot is explained.
Why Isn't Dylan O'Brien in "Teen Wolf: The Movie"?
O'Brien is probably the most noticeable among the missing names on the "Teen Wolf: The Movie" cast list. He was a regular on "Teen Wolf" for its first six seasons and had guest appearances in the final seventh season. Throughout...

When Jordan Peele's directorial debut "Get Out" managed four Oscar nominations and a win for Best Original Screenplay in 2018, it felt like an unprecedented moment for horror. Historically, the Academy often neglects horror films, along with a general distaste against genre cinema as a whole. Despite being an early 2017 release, "Get Out" was one of the most critically acclaimed films of the year and maintained its relevance throughout a particularly tough awards season -- it was an unstoppable force.
Tragically, instead of changing the game, the Academy Awards success story of "Get Out" starts to feel more and more like a special anomaly with each passing year. Despite a strong campaign for Lupita Nyong'o's revelatory dual-lead performance in "Us," Peele's sophomore film tackling American individualism through the concept of the doppelgänger was fully ignored by the 2020 Academy Awards. With today's 2023 Oscars nominations, history has unfortunately repeated itself. "Nope,...

A commenter named Brad replied to an Oscar predictions piece I put up over the weekend and said: “There used to be a time when I anticipated the Oscar Nominations. But I feel that time has not been good to the Academy Awards and with so many awards ceremonies these days, the Oscars do not seem special like they once did.”

Tuesday’s Oscar nominations brought the jaw-droppers many expected. Some met with joy, and others with heartbreak.
Social media and awards pundit circles have been touting Daniel Kwan and Daniel Scheinert’s “Everything Everywhere All at Once” as an undisputed front-runner for most of the awards season. With a leading 11 nominations, it’s in an excellent position to win the best picture statuette for distributor A24, the same studio that pulled off the memorable “Moonlight” upset over “La La Land” at the 2017 show. A24 led the day for studios with a resounding 18 nominations, with Netflix in second with 16.
The multiverse flick landed expected noms for acting — Michelle Yeoh, Ke Huy Quan, Jamie Lee Curtis and Stephanie Hsu — but flexed in the artisan races like costume design, original score and original song. However, holding the title of the “one to beat” can bring the claws out of other studios and strategists...

After winding up with a staggering 27 Oscar nominations for its 2021 releases, Netflix sits in second place on this year’s studio scorecard with 16 bids, just behind new chart-topper A24 with 17. The majority of A24’s mentions went to overall nominations leader “Everything Everywhere All at Once,” which amassed 11 bids in 10 categories, including Best Picture. Two other films from the studio – “Aftersun” and “The Whale” – also made above-the-line appearances.
Over half of Netflix’s total is attributed to Best Picture contender “All Quiet on the Western Front,” while seven of their feature and short films picked up a single notice each. Next is Warner Bros., which was second on the 2022 list, with 11 bids for two movies: “Elvis” (eight) and “The Batman” (three). Disney/20th Century Studios hit double digits thanks to “Black Panther: Wakanda Forever,” “Avatar: The Way of Water,” and “Turing Red,” as did Searchlight Pictures with “The Banshees of Inisherin” and “Empire of Light.

When the 95th Academy Award nominations were revealed on January 23, “Everything Everywhere All at Once” emerged as the leader of the pack with a total of 11 bids. It landed almost everywhere we thought it would (except Best Sound) and even surprised us by receiving notices for its costume design, score, and original song “This is a Life.”
Over the last decade, Oscar nominations leaders have ultimately pulled off an average of three wins apiece, but only two – “Birdman” (2015) and “The Shape of Water” (2018) – have snagged the elusive Best Picture prize. The last two most-recognized films, “The Power of the Dog” (12 bids) and “Mank” (10), respectively lost the main race to “Coda” (three) and “Nomadland” (six).
Following “Everything Everywhere All at Once” on this year’s list of most-nominated films are “All Quiet on the Western Front” and “The Banshees of Inisherin” with nine bids each. “Elvis” is right behind with eight,...

The 95th Oscars on March 12 have a real shot at a ratings boost with brand-name contenders. There’s nominations leader “Everything Everywhere All at Once”, sequels “Top Gun: Maverick” and “Avatar: The Way of Water” and original global hit “Elvis”, all vying for Best Picture.
Global box office may succeed in luring more eyeballs to the stateside ABC broadcast and more than 200 countries around the world, but a sequel is unlikely to win the top prize. A mainstream crowdpleaser that tugs at audience heartstrings is more likely to take home the win, like recent winners “Coda,” “Nomadland,” and “Green Book.”
Every year, the entire Academy membership votes to nominate Best Picture. This year the increasingly international body revealed itself yet again, nominating (for the eighth time) a non-English language film for both International Feature and Best Picture.

With the Academy of Motion Picture Arts and Sciences having expanded its shortlist for the Best International Feature Film Oscar to 15 in recent years, it’s inevitable that some deserving titles miss the nominations cut. However, several of the perceived front-runners are in the mix after today’s announcement, including Netflix’s All Quiet on the Western Front, which has nine total nominations including Best Picture, and is yet another sign of how foreign-language films are crossing over into other main categories.

Netflix’s Edward Berger-directed retelling of the classic Erich Maria Remarque novel, All Quiet on the Western Front is in the international race as expected, while other non-shocks include Lukas Dhont’s Close from Belgium, Jerzy Skolimowski’s Eo from Poland and Santiago Mitre’s Argentina, 1985 from the eponymous country.

It was a morning full of surprises in Hollywood. Few in the Oscar prognostication pool predicted that Netflix and Edward Berger’s All Quiet on the Western Front would score an astounding nine nominations, dominating not just in the Best International Film category, but also appearing to be a real contender in Best Picture following a string of technical awards. Similarly, after earning a notoriously mixed reception—culminating yesterday in a Razzie nomination for Worst Picture—Andrew Dominik’s Blonde is still an Oscar-nominated film, with Ana de Armas pulling out a surprise nomination for Best Actress.
So for many folks, especially those at Netflix, waking up Tuesday morning is a glorious thing. However, every Oscar season also brings the infamous Oscar snubs, and this year saw some of the biggest movies of the year slighted or at least partially ignored.

There’s a unique emotional displacement that happens to people who migrated when they were old enough to have forged memories of life in their homeland but still young enough to be remolded by a new environment. As the years mount, and you become someone else somewhere else, that previous existence, now so distant from your current reality, begins to fade into a corner of your subconscious covered in the cobwebs of nostalgia.
But what of the people left behind, for whom you exist only as a frozen memory of somebody that you used to be? And if such a person, who only knew that now-nonexistent version of you, re-entered your life today, who would you be to each other? Former friends turned strangers? Living proof of who you both once were and of the moments lost to time?

In Alejandro González Iñárritu’s newest film, “Bardo, False Chronicle of a Handful of Truths,” a documentarian (played by Daniel Giménez Cacho) travels to his home country of Mexico for a party in his honor and struggles with an existential crisis. For sound designer and supervisor Martin Hernandez, creating the soundscape of the film meant using audio to capture the slippery nature of memory.
“More than a mental journey, I think this is a state of mind, which is a quite different thing,” Hernandez told IndieWire Crafts and Animation Editor Bill Desowitz at IndieWire’s Consider This FYC Brunch. “A state of mind is something that lingers in your memory. It’s something that is in you a long time ago, and it transforms you. Alejandro has this idea that we are not exactly the ones in the picture of you when you were a kid. We’re different people now.
