“Everything Everywhere All at Once” was named best picture at the 95th Academy Awards on Sunday, capping off an improbable awards season run by winning the movie business’s highest honor.
The film, a gonzo adventure about a Chinese-American laundromat owner grappling with an IRS audit and inter-dimensional attackers, earned seven statues, including original screenplay and directing honors for its creators Daniel Kwan and Daniel Scheinert (collectively known as the Daniels). The victory is a triumph for A24, the indie studio that pushed the zany film to an impressive $100 million at the box office, a stunning achievement at a time when the market for arthouse movies has shriveled.

I don't know what woke or "equity" garbage the Oscars may have promoted since I didn't even watch 1 second of it. But looking at "Best Picture" according to this article involved a Chinese Laundromat in America, isn't that an unwoke stereotype -- a Chinese laundromat? Washy clothy.

I only watch movies from 1930-1960, except for Clint Eastwood and 007, all of which I seen several times, and no longer watch. Then, people dressed nicely in the movies, including the criminals, wore hats, so no bald heads to have to endure. And it is interesting to look at the cars for those eras.

Good old PC Hollywood. I watched a great hockey game. You’re almost at death’s door, Hollywood.

# 3 - I watch older movies, too, but I'm looking at the furniture, especially antiques and clocks. And there won't be any vulgar language in them, another plus.

The dominance of EEAAO just highlighted how weak the overall field really was. Haing seen all the nominees, I would agree with the pick but it wasn't a memorable movie. There were enough categories that almost all of them got some recognition. The major film industry is as polarized and fractured as the rest of the country. It is becoming an intellectual echo chamber of artsy liberals combined with the formula low risk approach of remakes like Top Gun and Avatar. All Quiet was stunning but so grotesque in its violence that I couldn't finish it. Its war, I get it, but the CGI makes it easy to exaggerate and detail the suffering beyond the limits of my stomach.

I guess the woke Hollywood types decided that it was the Asian's turn.

I tried to watch that piece of work. I gave it my best shot. All I can say about it now is that there was absolutely nothing memorable about it.

Another year of talentless Hollywood wokesters breathlessly congratulating each other for horrible movies that no one watches. Could anything be more irrelevant?

We watched Everybody loves Raymond rerun marathon. Never heard of that film, but did love Maverick Top Gun. No surprise that he was shunned.

uhm... no, "Everything Everywhere All at Once" was a poor move, incredibly derivative, silly, with stereotyping gone amok. It was like it was a bad Marvel movie that did not know what it wanted to be. And I doubt any film wound up on the cutting room floor.

I don't care about Hollywood congratulating themselves. The movie was fun.
It wasn't a masterpiece for the ages but they don't make that kind of movie anymore.

I looked up the plot summary of the movie that won for best movie. When I came to the part that said the Chinese American parents have a g*y daughter, I stopped reading. My friend was right. The Academy for another year would vote for a movie that shows diversity. I agree with many posters. I watch movies from 1930-60s and also documentaries, some foreign films.

I read through the list of oscar winners and other than Top Gun, which I did see and totally enjoyed, I've never heard of them. And won't see them. I hope all those clowns didn't sprain their shoulders patting themselves on their backs.

I watched Top Gun - Maverick again last night and noticed that the token female Asian aviator was always in the background. I hadn't noticed her before as the Hispanic chick got all the attention. Yes, I missed the Oscars again.

Well - - at least I know who Jamie Lee Curtis is.
Both of her parents were sensational actors - - and with one prettier than the other.

I can’t even remember the last time I entered a movie theater, though it may have been to see American Sniper in 2014.

Ok, flame away, but I did watch a bit of the Oscars. I haven’t watched them in years, but this year I had seen a number of the movies that were up for awards. Mainly, I wanted Austin Butler to win for Elvis. The movie was just ok, but he was amazing. I also would’ve been ok with Colin Ferrell winning for The Banshees of Innisherin. It was a very weird movie, but he was very good. There wasn’t too much political snark, but a lot of talk about diversity, and all of us living and working as one big happy, human family. I chuckled, knowing that they didn’t mean conservatives. Actually, Top Gun Maverick did receive an award for sound I think. Jimmy Kimmel couldn’t resist a comment when introducing the editing award about “selective editing” of the J6 tapes, and predictably the anti-Russian film won for documentary. The award recipients bleated that their award was for all those suffering under tyrannical governments, so congratulations, patriots, we won one! All in all, it was a lot of breasts on parade, and not in a complimentary way.

My wife turned on the Oscars when I left the room to get a snack. While it was on only for a few minutes, that was long enough to witness an endless women are victims' narrative, the black actors upset looks when they didn't win, and an off the chart prayer for jailed people under a repressive regime that had something to do with Ukraine. No mention of the jailed people from Jan. 6th who have been jailed in this country that still haven't gotten a trial date under the Biteme repressive regime. I took control of the remote again and returned to watching something that didn't make my blood pressure soar.

I like that Michelle Yeoh and Braden Frazer both won over people generally recognized as "serious" actors.
Last time I saw either of them was in the last "Mummy" film. Who would have thunk it?

Haven’t watched in years. It’s not so much the wokeness and left wing slant, I just find all award shows boring. It may be just that I am old and we no longer watch many movies. The last I saw in a theater was “Apollo 13” (excellent movie). I knew “Top Gun” wouldn’t get much since the Academy is now so political. We stream a few now but almost all are over 20 years old. There is so much content available now on-line that Hollywood could close and never make another movie and not be missed.

#28 almost caused me to lose it. Even though she's politically around the bend, I always enjoyed Jamie Leigh Curtis in her various roles.

#30 Agree, was hoping Austin Butler would win. He did a fantastic job. But in the back of my mind I knew it wouldn't happen because Hollywood hated Elvis Presley, when he was alive. I think they were jealous of this young man from Memphis who took over the music industry as well as being the #1 box office draw. So Hollywood never awarded Elvis a grammy award for his rock'n'roll music and they certainly weren't going to award the young man who portrayed him in such remarkable fashion, with an oscar.

I don't watch the oscars, haven't done so in fifty or more years. I don't spend my money on people that think I am an idiot. It's a waste of my time. Maybe we'll get lucky and they will just go away. I sure hope so.

Yes, good people in Madame Lucianne's forum we don't watch but our children and grandchildren do. We need to return to conditional love for their sake.
