James Hong brought a bit of “The whole lot In every single place All At Once” to the Oscars red carpet.
Hong, 94, walked the champagne-colored carpet wearing a bowtie with googly eyes — an ode to the movie.
He portrays Gong Gong within the film, the daddy of Michelle Yeoh’s character, Evelyn Quan Wang.
Googly eyes play a giant role in “The whole lot In every single place All At Once” — and might need even caused a shortage at Michaels arts stores.
Yeoh’s character initially is annoyed at her husband’s obsession with sticking googly eyes in every single place and rejects all his attempts to bring joy and humor into their lives.
But Evelyn finally ends up growing an appreciation toward them, putting one on her brow in the course of the film’s climactic fight scene.
The googly eyes represent existentialism and the human desire to create meaning of their lives.
“The whole lot In every single place All At Once” has been cleansing up within the 2023 awards season, with 11 Oscar nominations and winning two Golden Globe Awards.
