The 95th Academy Awards will take place at the Dolby Centre in Los Angeles as Hollywood gets ready for the Oscars. The film with the most nominees, Everything Everywhere All at Once, is thought to be the favorite to win best picture after taking home numerous prestigious guild award prizes prior to the Oscars.
Directors Ke Huy Quan, an erstwhile child star, is anticipated to win best supporting actor, and Daniel Kwan and Daniel Scheinert are predicted to win best director. Michelle Yeoh, a first-time nominee, might also receive the award for best Asian actress.
Netflix's German anti-war film All Quiet on the Western Front might pull off an unexpected victory in the field of ten best picture contenders after winning the BAFTA award for best film.
The show's host Jimmy Kimmel has announced that he will talk about the Will Smith and Chris Rock "The Slap" episode from a year ago, saying it would be "ridiculous" not to. To respond to any comparable surprises, the academy will have its first-ever "crisis team" in place.
The ensemble of Everything Everywhere All at Once enjoyed a night of success at the 29th Annual Screen Actors Guild Awards. Three of the four individual acting competitions were won by the Oscar front-runner, with Michelle Yeoh, Ke Huy Quan, and Jamie Lee Curtis each taking first place in their various categories.
Despite the fact that Quan has been the clear favorite throughout the season, Yeoh and Curtis' victories over Cate Blanchett and Angela Bassett, respectively, were viewed as shocks.
Everything Everywhere All at Once has swept all of the most significant guild awards after taking first place at the PGA Awards the night before and the DGA Awards the week prior, solidifying its position as a possible Oscar front-runner. (It already leads the Oscar field with 11 nominations.)
The only SAG Award for cinema acting given to Brendan Fraser for his work in The Whale was for Best Actor, which was the only award not given to Everything Everywhere All at Once.
