Oscars 2023: Final predictions for all 23 categories
LOS ANGELES — It's been a year since "Everything Everywhere All at Once" premiered at South by Southwest in Austin, Texas. No one proclaimed it an Oscar contender then. But that was before it became a box office hit, before we were reintroduced to Ke Huy Quan, before Jamie Lee Curtis turned into a weapon of mass promotion.
Now, on the eve of the Oscars, this loopy, frenetic family drama appears poised to win best picture, along with several other awards.
If it duplicates its showing at the Screen Actors Guild Awards, netting individual honors for Quan and Curtis along with star Michelle Yeoh, "Everything Everywhere All at Once" would become just the third movie to win three acting Oscars. (The others: "A Streetcar Named Desire" and "Network.")
That would be a lot, particularly because in the last decade or so, Oscar voters have spread the love each year among several movies. The last best picture winner to take more than four Oscars? That was "The Artist" in 2012, a triumph that, like many other moments in Oscar history, hasn't aged particularly well.
The thing is, it feels like ages since "Everything Everywhere All at Once" lost. Anything. The movie swept through the Producers Guild, the Directors Guild, the Screen Actors Guild and the Independent Spirit awards. How many hot dog finger high-fives will be happening at the 95th Academy Awards on Sunday? Here are my final predictions for each and every category.
