This year, the Oscars return with exciting, highly anticipated competition in most categories. Some worthy candidates for Best Picture include Avatar: The Way of Water (Avatar 2) , Top Gun: Maverick , Elvis and Everything Everywhere All at Once . In particular, in the Best Picture category, Everything Everywhere All at Once attracts attention as the representative of the independent film genre competing at the most prestigious film award on the planet.
According to statistics from Metacritic, Everything Everywhere All At Once is leading the race this year with a total of 122 points, having won 34 times in the feature film category, counting all major and minor awards before the Oscars. The second place is The Banshees of Inisherin with 68 points for 11 wins. The remaining films all achieved modest results such as Tár (4 awards), The Fabelmans (1 award), Top Gun: Maverick (2 awards), The Woman King (2 awards).
The Best Director category received some negative reactions from the public because there were no female nominees. However, it is undeniable that the five nominees are all worthy. They are Steven Spielberg ( The Fabelmans ), Martin McDonagh ( The Banshees of Inisherin ), Todd Field ( Tár ), Ruben Östlund ( Triangle of Sadness ) and the duo Daniel Kwan and Daniel Scheinert ( Everything everywhere all at once ).
In the Best Actor category, there is also a fierce competition between talented names such as Austin Butler in the movie Elvis , Colin Farrell in the movie The Banshees of Inisherin , Brendan Fraser in the movie The Whale , Paul Mescal in the movie Aftersun and Bill Nighy in the movie Living .
This year’s awards ceremony marks a new era of stars in the global film industry. Notably, four Asian actors were nominated in four main categories, including Michelle Yeoh (Best Actress), Kwan Ke-hui (Best Supporting Actor), Stephanie Hsu and Hung Chau (Best Supporting Actress). This is considered a record number of Asian actors nominated in one year, marking the presence of Eastern ethnicity at an Oscar.
Michelle Yeoh is the name that has been mentioned the most recently when she swept many awards before the 2023 Oscars. In the multiverse-themed film Everything Everywhere All At Once , Michelle Yeoh's character must travel through dimensions to defeat evil entities and save parallel worlds . The work touches the audience's emotions because it deals with many hot issues such as family relationships, generational conflicts, etc.
Rihanna is scheduled to perform Lift Me Up from the Black Panther: Wakanda Forever soundtrack. The song is nominated this year.
According to NBC News , Oscar guests will receive a gift bag of 60 items, worth about $123,000. This includes chocolate cookies ($16), tickets to visit a luxury real estate area in Canada ($40,000), a three-night stay at The Lifestyle hotel in Ottawa ($40,000), jewelry cleaning tools ($10,000)...
