Since the release of A24's absurdist dramedy Everything Everywhere All at Once last year, the film has been creating a stir and setting new records. Recently it shattered one of the most significant film records by becoming the most-awarded picture in history.
Daniel Kwan and Daniel Scheinert wrote and directed Everything Everywhere All at Once, which broke the record set by Peter Jackson's iconic 2003 film, The Lord of The Rings: The Return of the King. The latter won 101 awards, whereas the former has amassed 158 awards.
Even when we tally both awards and nominations, Everything Everywhere All at Once still holds the top spot with 336 awards and 691 nominations, compared to The Return of the King's 213 awards and 337 nominations.
Last night was the cherry on top for Everything Everywhere All at Once, as the A24 film won seven Academy Awards - the most since Danny Boyle's 2008 film, Slumdog Millionaire. The seven categories include Best Picture, Best Director, Best Original Screenplay, Best Actress, Best Supporting Actress, Best Supporting Actor, and Best Editing.
