Why Everything Everywhere All At Once Won The Oscars

[@atharrys]

What’s your favorite part about EEAAO?

[@thompson7271]

Everything about it esp the ending and chemistry between JLC and Michelle and Ke

[@randalepical6591]

the rocks, that's how smart the movie is, no sound but mean so much

[@YuhungAndLaika]

The two rocks and "laundry & tax" parts! Can't believe they made me cry like a baby simply with two rocks. I wasn't prepared to cry in the theater at all.

[@jyanneskye2535]

All the bagel vortrex scenes and the iconic laundry/taxes scene

[@ahzerlumli]

Obviously the rock scene is my favourite. 😂 🪨

[@The-KP]

This is an actor's film. Special effects included confetti and bits of paper! So it was entirely driven by the great actors, the script, direction, and of course the editing. What a gem of a film, it's one of my all-time favorites.

[@atharrys]

That’s awesome!

[@404FinallyFound]

I love that eeoaa won so many awards because hopefully, it’ll mean the main studios start stepping up their game to try to compete

[@atharrys]

A24 is killing it!

[@scottcalum7485]

I think Stephanie is amazing and her performance is on par with everyone in the movie. JLC really campaigned hard for the movie and I appreciate it!

[@atharrys]

Great performances all around!

[@FablestoneSeries]

Scheinert explained that their premise was they wanted to make a nonviolent John Wick action movie where the hero beat the antagonist with kindness.

[@atharrys]

It is moderately violent but the idea of beating the antagonist with kindness is awesome!

[@silveriver9]

I was blown away by this movie. Well deserved 7 oscars. Ke Huy Quan is such a inspiration!

[@atharrys]

Agreed!

[@thomasgreen2525]

I could not agree more. This is an outstanding summation of how Everything Everywhere All At Once became the little movie that could and took the Academy Awards by storm. Like you, this past Academy Awards ceremony was the first I willingly set down to watch, and it did not disappoint! The movie is incredibly weird but heartfelt, funny, and at the end of the day, love concors all.

[@atharrys]

Awesome! Thanks for commenting!

[@uddlivewell]

It was the first time EVER for me to watch Oscar and cried! Seriously, the film was soooooo good and the cast and crew tem were incredible. Their performance was powerful, the script was phenomenal, and the weirdness was so refreshingly funny and creative. I believe you also wanted to include stephanie hsu(her performance was god-sent!) here but probably that would make the video too long. Great content, concise and calm. It's just pure joy watching. Thanks for the video!

[@atharrys]

Glad you enjoyed it!

[@chiefd3290]

You are very articulate and did a great job on your take of this incredible movie. EEAAO is the total package of what movies should emulate.

[@atharrys]

Thanks so much!

[@samboni702]

I hope it won many more Oscar's in its other multi-verses.

[@atharrys]

Love that!

[@Innamoramento9]

Thanks for your video. When I first saw it I was blown away but figured it would be forever a minor, unknown film because everyone was watching the other Multiverse Marvel movie back then. So happy the movie is getting the accolades it deserves.

[@atharrys]

🙌

[@lisaburris9045]

It's completely original. It's funny, full of action and has deep philosophical questions and it also about love. It's also the first time ever, where everyone who I wanted to win an Oscar, did so: acting male and female lead, male and female supporting lead, best screenplay, best director AND best film.

[@atharrys]

Love it!

[@misha4422]

EEAAO is the only award winning movie I saw before it won everything. I was afraid it was too quirky to win anything. I am so happy for them all. And Jamie Lee’s reaction at hearing her name is so priceless. Favorite part?? There are so many. All were tops for me. And anytime Stephanie was in a scene were wonderful. She played her parts so well. I love Jamie, and she deserved the recognition, but I thought Stephanie deserved Best Supporting.

[@atharrys]

Good stuff! 👍

[@general682002]

I'm a long time Michelle Yeoh fan since she started with Jackie Chan Police Story 3. Then her very first Hollywood with Pierce Brosnan in 007 Tomorrow Never Dies, then her international success Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon! So happy for her to win after did so many different role! When I saw the film EEAAO, what a unique movie with mixed bag of everything from traditional to feeling weird! Very creative from the Daniel's, genius on making a multi-universe! It couldn't be any better when they found Ke Huy Quan as his role was the perfect character for the movie! What a comeback with Cinderella story to win many awards from different organizations! Again, so happy for him to win the Oscars! And lastly, Jamie Lee Curtis played well from a serious woman on taxes to becoming a monster! It's been a long time to get something for her award after her parents were nominated! This has to be the most wins for the role starring I've seen! It's a deserved win and it will be one of the most interesting movie I've enjoyed!

[@atharrys]

That’s awesome! Thanks for sharing!

[@YuhungAndLaika]

I love this movie and it will probably stay on my top 10 favorite list for at least a decade. It’s quirky and crazy. I know it’s not for everyone (and it doesn’t have to be enjoyed by everyone) but it’s for me and I love it. Regardless all the great performances and execution under such a low budget, I truly admire the great atmosphere and chemistry among this film crew. From all the interviews and award winning speeches, we can easily observe everyone in EEAAO not only genuinely loved what they were doing, but also enjoyed working with each other. I think that’s the key they have won so many awards. The emotions they try to deliver are not limited in the screen but EVERYWHERE! ❤

[@atharrys]

Totally agree! Thanks for commenting!

[@The-KP]

"Not for everybody" -true, and yet the film awards industry loved it to death. Having empathy and imagination appear to be requirements for enjoying this superb film.

[@plaidzebra5526]

Thank you for explaining why Jamie Lee Curtis deserved her Oscar. I've been hearing too many people say otherwise and judge her on her past performances instead of her single performance in this film. The Oscars aren't a Life Achievement Award show and I know some people may forget that.

[@atharrys]

You’re welcome! Thanks for commenting!

[@seasnail2704]

Thumbs up. Nice review!!

[@atharrys]

Thanks so much!

[@unicyclist97]

What they accomplished with such a low budget is mind blowing. If I didn't know it was only $14m I would have guessed something on par with a Marvel movie.

[@atharrys]

They definitely spent that budget wisely! 🙌

[@YuhungAndLaika]

That’s why I would wonder if people use film making for money laundry every time after watching a big production with extremely terrible results. 😜

[@nellytann2790]

it's a very unique movie that exceeded viewers expectations. When I finish to watch the movie, I gave it a pretty high rating and for its uniqueness I thought of would they possible to get an Oscar in whatever category, cause is pretty well made. Many big Hollywood companies have money to make great movies, but this one solely with its actors and story shows how important is to be outstanding.

[@atharrys]

Absolutely agree!

[@blakedao4777]

They should have the best protagonist actor/actress and best antagonist actor/actress award, with the latter belongs to Stephanie Hsu. She kills it with the role of Jobu Tabuki.

[@atharrys]

She did a great job!

[@critterfritter69]

So glad that Michelle Yeoh ended up with the leading role. I can't think of another actor who could pull off the emotional range as well as the action chops. It would have been a very different movie with Jackie Chan.

[@atharrys]

Agreed!

[@JW-lr1mc]

Well done

[@atharrys]

Thanks so much!

[@robnature]

A movie beyond standard! Deep and weird! 💪

[@atharrys]

Love it!

[@rickriffel6246]

This movie is The Matrix and Inception of the 2020s. The Matrix should have been Best Picture of 1999, but it was a different world then.

[@atharrys]

Agreed!

[@LuvLifeVlogZ]

It won 10 billion Oscars actually and it's the best film in the universe and beyond. 😐

[@atharrys]

👍

[@kastuul]

When I watched this movie, I wondered who the actor who played the husband. So look alike Jackie Chan, but I haven't seen him in the other movies.

[@atharrys]

Ke Huy Quan is really talented! You should check out his other work! 👍

[@babylou60]

He was the child actor in Indiana Jones: The Temple Of Doom

[@elvemage3082]

Not a complaint, but pronouncing the names correctly is important. It's pronounce "Key", not "K".

[@atharrys]

👍👍

[@aliciabanister2033]

Don’t get me wrong I love JLC but I don’t think she deserved best supporting actress over Stephanie hsu. Stephanie’s performance was fundamental to the entire movie and I would go so far as to say that JLC was a background character

[@atharrys]

Your points are definitely valid! 👍

[@stephaniekao8831]

one of the Best movies Ever

[@atharrys]

🙌

[@johnmarks507]

Everyone calls h’m Ke (key) not ‘Kay’ like you just did so I don’t think ‘my man ‘ Kay’ really flys- also he may be the heart- but Stephanie is the glue that holds it together ultimately-

It is so great to hear your breakdown as to why this event was such a great moment in history! Just one note: out of respect, please research into how to correctly pronounce non-western names - or at least how the individual themselves prefers to say it. Here is Ke's name, pronounced by the man himself! kzbin.info/www/bejne/sHnSlaF7i5ibhpI

[@atharrys]

[@RetroPowered]

Pronouncing Ke's name correctly is important.

[@Nathan-pm8mh]

Which he did

[@RetroPowered]

​@@Nathan-pm8mh It sounds like "Key" not "Kay".

[@Nathan-pm8mh]

@@RetroPowered um… vietnamese is my 1st languange, “Kay” is really how it should be pronounced. Just that most people pronounce it as Key cuz they don’t know. And Ke himself doesn’t mind the mispronunciation, so….

[@Nathan-pm8mh]

I heard him pronounce it as Kay, which is correct.

The best film since the 90's

[@atharrys]

🙌

[@silverwood0429]

Luckily, the movie was not played by Jackie Chan. That will definitely not an award winning movie.

[@atharrys]

I guess we’ll never know 🤷‍♂️

[@jessicaross7288]

If you're going to talk about "your boy Ke" you should probably learn to pronounce his name correctly.

[@Nathan-pm8mh]

He did. It is pronounced like “Kay”, not “Key”.

[@aoibhealfae]

He actually pronounce Kế correctly in VIetnamese.

[@Nathan-pm8mh]

@@jessicaross7288 I have already seen that video prior to this. That is his preferred pronunciation. If you are a guy with that name, it’s only natural to be called key rather than kay. There is no debating this with someone like me who knows the vn language and its pronunciation.
