    Everything Everywhere All At Once went from an underdog to a front-runner in this year’s Oscars race, to eventually taking it all! The absurdist sci-fi epic won big at this year’s Academy Awards, dominating the ceremony with seven wins, including best picture.

    By winning big in seven categories, Everything Everywhere became the biggest Oscar winner in over a decade, since Danny Boyle’s Slumdog Millionaire in 2009. In addition to picking up the best picture Oscar as the film’s producers, Daniel Kwan and Daniel Scheinert were also awarded for directing and writing this project.

    Everything Everywhere was the biggest winner in the acting categories and made history as only the third film to win three acting awards at the Oscars. Michelle Yeoh became the first Asian woman to win best actress, and she was joined by her co-stars Ke Huy Quan and Jamie Lee Curtis and The Whale’s Brendan Fraser, who won the best actor trophy.

    Netflix also had a reason to celebrate on Sunday night, after their film All Quiet on the Western Front picked up four Oscars. It was named the best international feature film and won big in several technical categories, including best original score, production design, and cinematography.

    The 95th Academy Awards returned to the Dolby Theatre in Los Angeles on March 12, with Jimmy Kimmel hosting the ceremony for the third time.
