The 95th annual Academy Awards are finally upon us, taking place as we speak within the walls of Hollywood’s Dolby Theatre with late night royalty Jimmy Kimmel hosting the ceremony for the third time. So who and what exactly are on track to join the heavyweight cohort of 2023 Oscar winners?
While many – present company included – assumed the typical bait films such as Steven Spielberg’s semi-autobiographical The Fabelmans and Todd Field’s Tár starring Cate Blanchett would be heavily favoured this time around, there’s been considerable love for the more populist releases.
Indie juggernaut A24’s Everything Everywhere All At Once hasn’t just revived the career of child star turned stunt coordinator Key Huy Quan and brought about a renewed interest in screen veteran Michelle Yeoh. Coming in at the top of the class, The Daniels’ touching sci-fi adventure/comedy has earned 11 nods across multiple categories, as well as officially entering the Best Picture race.

Outside of the Oscars, Everything Everywhere All At Once has already become the most-awarded film in history, surpassing Peter Jackson’s The Lord of the Rings: The Return of the King; sweeping the local American circuit, every single category it was nominated for at the Screen Actors Guild Awards sans Best Supporting Female Actor, plus two key victories at the Golden Globes: Best Actress for Michelle Yeoh, Best Supporting Actor for Ke Huy Quan.
Everything Everywhere All At Once is closely followed in the Oscars by the World War I epic that made a splash on Netflix last year, Edward Berger’s adaptation of All Quiet On The Western Front, which only trails behind by a single nomination; while Elvis (8), The Banshees of Inisherin (8), Top Gun: Maverick (6), and Avatar: The Way of Water (4) have also been recognised for their efforts in restoring the cinema experience post-COVID/post-streaming.
We’ll update the 2023 Oscar Winners List below as today’s festivities unfold.
