Oscars: Anne Thompson Omits ‘Everything Everywhere All At Once' in Her Predictions

July 30, 2022 Jordan Ruimy

I took a closer look at Anne Thompson’s early Best Picture predictions and NOT ONCE did she mention “Everything Everywhere All At Once” as a possible contender. As much as I disliked that movie, it has to be included. Either Anne forgot to mention it or she truly thought it had zero chances.

I emailed Thompson yesterday morning to point out the curious omission. As much as I disliked that film, I find it hard to believe it won’t be a contender. Was that a purposeful absence? She answered back, it turns out she decided to add it, but in the “long shots” category, adding that she’s “advocating hard for Michelle Yeoh in Best Actress”.

Alright, fine, but, whether you like it or night, one has to accept that “Everything Everywhere All At Once” will be a major player, right? It’s the post-pandemic little-indie-that-could. Critics have gone gaga over it and so have audiences, it’s so far nabbed $100 million worldwide.

As far as I can tell, three Best Picture contenders have been released so far this year: “Everything Everywhere All At Once,” “Top Gun: Maverick” and “Elvis.” It doesn’t mean all three get nominated, but that’s where we’re at right now.

Some of the fall fest local titles I anticipate could gain some traction include Tar, Bardo, Women Talking, The Fabelmans, The Whale, The Son, Empire of Light, The Wonder, She Said and Til.
