Where to Watch <i>Everything Everywhere All at Once</i> in Time for Awards Season, Or Just Because
Everything Everywhere All at Once has emerged as the crowd favorite film of 2022, pleasing both critics and audiences alike with its lovably bizarre blend of humor, science fiction, action, family drama, and romance. The resulting buzz around it has put Michelle Yeoh on the pedestal she deserves to stand upon, granted Ke Huy Quan a warm and satisfying return to Hollywood, made a rising star out of Stephanie Hsu, and renewed our faith in word-of-mouth film promotion. Much like its title suggests, this multiverse-hopping adventure directed by The Daniels really does do all of the things, on- and off-screen.
So it’s hardly a surprise that EEAAO is racking up awards and Best of the Year recognition as 2022 came to a close, and the 2023 awards season officially kicks off. For example, it’s nominated for six Golden Globes and 14 Critics Choice Awards, and even appears on the BAFTA longlists. As Oscar nominations loom, nods for EEAAO aren’t just a possibility; they’re expected. Yeoh could earn a Best Actress nomination (her first ever!) for her emotional and physically demanding role as Evelyn Wang, a woman trying to do her taxes for her failing laundromat while juggling her marriage, her relationship with her daughter, and her own relationship to her father at the same time. Quan might also receive a Best Supporting Actor nod for his performance as Evelyn’s doting husband Waymond, adding to his ever-growing list of trophies he’s received for the film. It’s also possible Jamie Lee Curtis could be in the running for Supporting Actress, but Hsu, who pulled double duty as Evelyn’s daughter Joy and nemesis Jobu Tupaki, also deserves one for her breakout performance.
Awards aside, Yeoh has found the public’s reaction to the film just as fulfilling as any accolade. (And it’s definitely given her street cred with her godchildren.) She told ELLE for our 2022 Women in Hollywood issue:
“A lot of times when I’m doing press, people will say, ‘My parents will be very happy because they know I’m interviewing you.’ I come from an older generation. But it’s really with Everything Everywhere All at Once that this generation knows me now. I have six godchildren; some are in their early twenties. I can feel the difference. They talk to me on a different level now. It’s suddenly like, ‘Oh, cool. You’re cool. I can relate to you. And my friends think you are cool, too,’ which is so nice.”
Even though the film only hit theaters via A24 in March 2022, it may already be time for a rewatch. Thankfully, EEAAO is available to stream on Showtime and Paramount+. You can also watch it on platforms like Hulu, Amazon Prime Video, and YouTube with a Showtime add-on.
