And so we arrived at 2023, where an incredibly inventive and dazzling film like Everything Everywhere at All Once is not just nominated, but also selected to win the largest Oscar of the night as a result of a lot of chatter and other major awards awards. That's pretty cool, dude. It's also cool that no one knows if it'll happen.
