Is there anything new in Hollywood? Yes ! While the top trophies at this 95th Oscars ceremony seemed to be promised to Steven Spielberg and the Fabelmanns, after the director won the Toronto Film Festival with his most personal film, it’s a multiverse story that produced a surprise: everything everywhere at once. A broad winner with seven awards (out of a possible eleven). Including Best Picture, Best Director, Best Actress (Michelle Yeoh) or Best Supporting Actor, Jamie Lee Curtis and a tearful Ke Hui Kwan were awarded.

But can we really talk about a surprise? He and not. Six months ago, that possibility was as remote as Daniel Scheinert and Daniel Kwan’s opus. Even when their film was the most cited when the Oscar nominations were announced.
And then change happened in a matter of weeks, spoiled by the PGA, DGA, SAG and other WGAs, represented by the producers, directors, performers and writers unions. Reliable indicators that they have achieved a spectacular Grand Slam that ended this Sunday, March 12. One year and one day after their first baby show at SXSW on March 11, 2022.
In 366 days, everything everywhere at once brought together the public ($106.7 million worldwide for a budget of 14 to 25), critics and voters from the academy, who are sensitive to the campaign led by A24 studios. which won its second Oscar for Best Picture after Moonlight.
Under the nose and chin of Steven Spielberg, despite the symbol the prize represented for The Fabelmans, the culmination of the career of ET’s father, the only filmmaker to be nominated in six different decades.
NETFLIX, so close yet
After all, the only competitor of everything at once also had a long title: in the West, nothing new. A German war film adapted from Erich Maria Remarque’s novel of the same name, it once thought it could offer Netflix its first top trophy. It won’t be this time, despite its four awards (including Best Foreign Language Film), making it the second big winner on the list of political overtones.
Because winning everything everywhere at once isn’t just a Jamie Lee Curtis-endorsed geek victory. It’s also about youth and diversity. From wanting to shake up Hollywood like Steven Spielberg, a big fan of the feature film, did in his debut.
Four Western titles, Nothing New echoes the news and this war in Ukraine, which has been going on for more than a year, as well as the Oscar for the best screenplay, which Sarah Polley gave to the speech and the status of women. of women.
History is being written
In the same vein, the best actor award given to Brendan Fraser for The Whale could also be a reference to #MeToo, with the actor being one of the most prominent voices explaining the reasons for his empty passage a few years ago.
Back on stage, he’s at the heart of one of those beautiful stories that make Oscar salt. The loud comeback that Mickey Rourke, also in front of Darren Aronofsky’s camera, was taken to extremes by Sean Penn and Harvey Milk in 2009.

That year, the first Avatar was released in cinemas, and before that it won three Oscars. That’s two more than its sequel, which gets away with zero points thanks to the best special effects that didn’t get away with it decently. Just like Top Gun: Maverick, after saving the bread of Hollywood according to Steven Spielberg, saved his thanks for the best sound award. Consolation prizes for the two biggest hits of 2022 that will still accomplish that mission we thought was almost impossible, bringing the public back to theaters.
“History is being written”exclaimed Michelle Yeoh, the second actor of color to win Best Actress, at the end of the edition, which saw Netflix win five times, Pinocchio and Nothing New in the West, and ‘Elvis, The Banshees of Inishrein and Fabelman. He was left empty-handed.
If the actor was right? Or have the Oscars become a little less predictable? See you in a year, perhaps with another unexpected winner on paper.
