It’s Hollywood’s biggest night.
As Jimmy Kimmel hosts the ninety fifth annual Academy Awards on the Dolby Theatre in Los Angeles, all eyes are on “All the things All over the place All at Once.” Just what number of trophies will the genre-blending comedy-drama scoop up Sunday night?
The film dominated nominations for major categories, showing up within the fields of best picture, best director, best actress, best supporting actress, best supporting actor and best original screenplay. It snagged 11 nominations overall, leading the pack.
Throughout the awards season, “All the things All over the place All at Once” has snared wins for acting, directing and best picture from various groups. Many expect it to brush best picture, best director, best actress and best original screenplay.
Directors Daniel Kwan and Daniel Scheinert are expected to take home the directing prize. Michelle Yeoh is neck-and-neck with Cate Blanchett (“Tar”) for best actress, and Kwan and Scheinert are in close contention with Martin McDonagh (“The Banshees of Inisherin”) for best original screenplay.
“All the things All over the place All at Once” shouldn’t be nominated for best actor, a category that for the primary time since 1935 features five actors which have never been nominated before. Ke Huy Quan is nominated for best supporting actor for his role within the film and is anticipated to go home with the trophy.
This yr’s ceremony marks the primary time that 4 Asian actors are competing across multiple acting categories.
Yeoh, 60, is the primary Asian-identifying woman nominated for best actress. This distinction has been made because, technically, Merle Oberon, who was of mixed British and South Asian descent, was the primary in 1935, earning a nomination for her work on the film “The Dark Angel,” but she concealed her heritage out of fear of discrimination in Hollywood on the time.
Ana De Armas is the primary Cuban actress to be nominated for best actress for her role as Marilyn Monroe in Netflix movie “Blonde.”

Angela Bassett also earns one other first for the ceremony, becoming the primary actor to receive a nomination for a job in a Marvel film. She is up for best supporting actress for her portrayal of Queen Ramonda in “Black Panther: Wakanda Eternally,” and is taken into account a favourite.
This yr’s ceremony is bound to attract extra attention after Will Smith smacked Chris Rock during last yr’s show.
