Everything Everywhere All At Once’ was named best film by Hollywood’s producers Saturday, as the multiverse-jumping sci-fi hops from win to win at award shows ahead of next month’s Oscars.
The latest prize for the surreal movie about an immigrant, laundromat-owning family who battle an interdimensional demon — which has become the darling of Tinseltown’s awards circuit in recent weeks — dealt a blow to the hopes of rivals such as Tom Cruise’s “Top Gun: Maverick.”
Top honors for “Everything Everywhere” at the star-studded Producers Guild Awards gala in Beverly Hills follows similar trophies from key directors and critics groups, and positions it as the film to beat at the Oscars on March 12.
“You guys, this is insane. This is insane!” said producer Jonathan Wang, as he was joined on stage by stars Michelle Yeoh and Ke Huy Quan.
