And this week's Friday night movie has been... Everything Everywhere All at Once!
Best Picture Oscar winner no.: 95 (2022)
You know the Oscars have been around for under a century (at time of writing) but for something that has such longevity, one would think that it would be a big ask for it to produce a surprise.
And yet, this is exactly what happened: I went in expecting a movie that combines science fiction and kung fu - hardly Oscar favourite material - but what I got was something else: It was visually astonishing, playful in it's nature, high in it's concept, and audacious in it's ambitions.
I have no idea how this won Best Picture - it's an against the odds victory if ever there was one - but there's no way I'm going to argue.
What an incredible movie.
