January 24, 2023
A24’s sci-fi fantasy drama Everything Everywhere All at Once continues its award-season run, generating 11 Oscar nominations to lead all movies for the upcoming 95th Academy Awards set for Sunday, March 12, at the Dolby Theater in Los Angeles and hosted by Jimmy Kimmel on ABC.
British actor Riz Ahmed (Sound of Metal) and Allison Williams (M3GAN, Get Out) Jan. 24 announced the nominations, which included nine noms apiece for Disney-owned Searchlight Pictures’ dark comedy The Banshees of Inisherin, and Netflix’s All Quiet on the Western Front.
Everything Everywhere All at Once, The Banshees of Inisherin and All Quiet on the Western Front all earned Best Picture nominations, alongside Disney-owned 20th Century Studios’ Avatar: The Way of Water, Warner’s Elvis, Universal Pictures’ The Fabelmans, Focus Features’ Tár, Paramount Pictures’ Top Gun: Maverick, Neon’s Triangle of Sadness, and Orion Pictures’ Women Talking.

Everything Everywhere generated additional nominations for Best Actress for Michelle Yeoh, Best Supporting Actor for Ke Huy Quan, Best Supporting Actress for Jamie Lee Curtis and Stephanie Hsu, Best Director and Best Original Screenplay for Daniel Kwan and Daniel Scheinert, Best Original Song for This Is A Life,” Best Costume Design, Best Film Editing and Best Original Score. The film has been available through retail channels from Lionsgate since July.
The German film All Quiet on the Western Front, a new adaptation of the World War I novel of the same name, also earned noms for Best International Feature Film, Best Cinematography, Best Makeup and Hairstyling, Best Original Score, Best Sound, Best Production Design, Best Visual Effects and Best Adapted Screenplay. The 1930 version of the story won the Oscar for Best Picture.
Banshees of Inisherin grabbed nominations for Best Actor for Colin Farrell, Best Supporting Actor for Brendan Gleeson and Barry Keoghan, Best Supporting Actress for Kerry Condon, Best Film Editing, Best Original Score, and Best Director and Best Original Screenplay for Martin McDonagh. The film can be streamed on HBO Max and has been available via VOD, digital purchase, and on Blu-ray and DVD since December.
Elvis was nominated for eight Oscars, adding Best Actor for Austin Butler, Best Cinematography, Best Costume Design, Best Film Editing, Best Makeup and Hairstyling, Best Production Design and Best Sound to its tally. Elvis has been available on disc and digital platforms for months, and streams on HBO Max.
Fabelmans rounded out its seven nominations with Best Director for Steven Spielberg, Best Actress for Michelle Williams, Best Supporting Actor for Judd Hirsch, Best Original Screenplay, Production Design and Best Original Score for John Williams, his record 53 nomination. The film is available now through digital retailers and arrives on DVD and Blu-ray Feb. 14.
Top Gun: Maverick, available to view on disc, through digital retailers and streaming on Paramount+, racked up recognition in six categories, with its Best Picture nom joined by Best Adapted Screenplay, Best Original Song for Lady Gaga’s “Hold My Hand,” Best Film Editing, Best Sound and Best Visual Effects. The film was left off the list of nominees for Best Cinematography, widely seen as a snub as the film, which used Imax cameras for groundbreaking aerial photography, had been winning many of the precursor awards in that category.
Joining Butler and Farrell in the Best Actor category were Brendan Fraser for The Whale, Paul Mescal for Aftersun and Bill Nighy for Living. Best Actress nominees in addition to Yeoh and Williams were Cate Blanchett in Tár, Ana de Armas for Netflix’s Blonde, and Andrea Riseborough in To Leslie, the latter a bit of a surprise thanks to a grassroots campaign for the little-seen film.
The Best Directing category saw Todd Field (Tár) and Ruben Östlund (Triangle of Sadness) join Spielberg, McDonagh and the Daniels.
Gleeson, Hirsch, Keoghan and Quan were joined in the Best Supporting Actor category by Brian Tyree Henry for Causeway, which is streaming on Apple TV+.
In the Best Supporting Actress category, nominees went to Angela Bassett for Disney-owned Marvel Studios’ Black Panther: Wakanda Forever (available through digital retailers and to stream on Disney+ starting Feb. 1, and on disc Feb. 7), and Hong Chau in The Whale, alongside Condon, Curtis and Hsu.
Best Animated Feature Film nominees included Netflix’s Guillermo del Toro’s Pinocchio, A24’s Marcel the Shell with Shoes On, Universal’s Puss in Boots: The Last Wish, Netflix’s The Sea Beast and Disney-owned Pixar’s Turning Red.
Best International Feature noms, in addition to All Quiet, include Argentina 1985, Belgium’s Close, Poland’s EO, and Ireland’s The Quiet Girl.
