Sci-fi indie hit ‘Everything Everywhere All at Once’ is leading nominations to the 95th Academy Awards with 11 nods. The absurdist comedy-drama film written and directed by Daniel Kwan and Daniel Scheinert (collectively known as “Daniels”) centers on a Chinese-American immigrant (played by Michelle Yeoh) who, while being audited by the IRS, discovers that she must connect with parallel universe versions of herself to prevent a powerful being from destroying the multiverse.
The 95th Academy Awards will air live on ABC on Sunday (12 March) with Jimmy Kimmel returning as host for the third time. The ceremony will be broadcast from the Dolby Theatre in Los Angeles. Here are the nominees for the 95th Academy Awards, announced Tuesday in Beverly Hills, California:
