Everything Everywhere All at Once

She's a bona fide fast-talking, three-steps-ahead-of-the-game villain, but there's something different about Tupaki that sets her apart from film antagonists of ...

When I told my mom I booked my first movie, she said, “That’s nice.” But when I said, “Michelle Yeoh is playing my mom,” she exclaimed, “Oh my god!” My mother then called the entire family and told them: “Stephanie is going to be Michelle Yeoh’s daughter!” That was the vibe in my household. Typically, villains have their cigarette hanging from the side of the mouth, but I wanted her to be smoking a cigarette in the center of her mouth. I think it's just a testament to the fact that a lot of people are curious and asking why and how we exist in the chaos and frenzy that we do. And they put the cigarette right in the center of their mouth. I love philosophy and high-concept physics and metaphysics, but I had no idea that the multiverse was going to become such a touchstone of our culture. I wanted to work with more creative people, and I felt I had saturated the New York market at that time.

And then I said, “Yeah, the flight here was about 13 hours long, so I learned.” Then along came the best gift, “Everything Everywhere All at Once.” Michelle Yeoh’s star turn as a multiverse-cruising immigrant mother in the sci-fi comedy “Everything Everywhere All at Once” was a hit with both critics and audiences, propelling her to her first Golden Globe. Thank you so much. And it probably was at a time where I thought, “Hey, come on girl, you had a really, really good run, you worked with some of the best people, Steven Spielberg, Jim Cameron and Dan Boyle.” And so it’s good, it’s all good. It’s been an amazing journey, an incredible fight to be here today.

As Joy, Hsu runs the gamut from shy adolescent to flamboyant egomaniac—two different sides of the same young woman yearning for parental acceptance and understanding. In one pivotal scene, Waymond implores his wife to be kind, claiming that he fights with empathy instead of weapons. What makes these performances especially impressive is that the film calls for each actor to portray multiple incarnations of their characters, varying in intentions and physical appearance across the multiverse. The meek Waymond undergoes his own transformations into both a heroic leading man and a suave, tuxedoed movie star in a neon-soaked world that nods to the work of legendary filmmaker Wong Kar-wai. It’s only natural that the concept of the multiverse has hit the mainstream. The film stars screen legend Michelle Yeoh as Evelyn Wang, a disillusioned California laundromat owner whose life has begun to stagnate: Her relationship with her daughter, Joy (Stephanie Hsu), is deteriorating, and her mild-mannered husband, Waymond (Ke Huy Quan), is serving her with divorce papers.

Martin McDonagh's dark comedy about a friendship turned sour received five nominations for lead male actor Colin Farrell, supporting female actor Kerry Condon, ...

The comedy ensemble category pits the casts of Abbott Elementary, Only Murders in the Building, Hacks, Barry and The Bear against each other. Laura Linney and Julia Garner were both nominated for best female actor in a drama series up against The White Lotus’s Jennifer Coolidge, The Crown’s Elizabeth Debicki and Euphoria’s Zendaya. Michelle Yeoh was recognised in the lead female actor category while Ke Huy Quan, Jamie Lee Curtis and Stephanie Hsu were all handed supporting nominations. On the TV side of things, Netflix’s dark drama Ozark led with four nominations. Lead male actor in a comedy series nominees include both Steve Martin and Martin Short for Only Murders in the Building, Anthony Carrigan and Bill Hader for Barry and Jeremy Allen White for The Bear. In the category of best supporting male actor, favourite Quan, Keoghan, Gleeson and Dano will be up against Eddie Redmayne for The Good Nurse while in the best supporting female actor category, Condon, Curtis and Hsu will be up against Angela Bassett for Black Panther: Wakanda Forever and Hong Chau for The Whale.

The “Everything Everywhere All at Once” actress may not be as well-known as her co-stars, but her role is crucial enough to deserve consideration.

But I’ve had to continue to remind myself that I got to this moment without anyone ever knowing anything about me, so it really is just all about the work. The biggest thing I’ve learned from this past year is how to continue to show up for myself. [when Halle Berry won at the Oscars](https://www.nytimes.com/2022/03/24/movies/halle-berry-best-actress-oscar.html#:~:text=Since%20she%20won%20best%20actress,fact%20she%20calls%20%E2%80%9Cheartbreaking.%E2%80%9D) — the only woman of color who’s ever won best actress — and I don’t remember anyone else who won that night, but I remember that moment. I know how to stay centered.” But as the year has unfolded, I’ve realized how little I knew about anything. I think the biggest thing I’ve been trying to balance is how to genuinely receive the goodness while not protecting myself too much that I can’t enjoy the ride. “The elephant in the room,” she said, “is the dark horse of me.” But also on the same evening, when Ke won best supporting actor, I stood up so fast and screamed so loud that I almost passed out. I don’t know if I could ever make this film again because at that point in my life, I had nothing to lose. At the time when I was finishing school and living in New York, those roles were not available in the mainstream. And so that year, I was breaking down all these barriers that had been placed around me, carving my own path in a really real way. This script came to you shortly after you wrapped the third season of “Mrs. It turned out that Buscemi was a major fan of “Everything Everywhere,” the sci-fi hit in which Hsu plays the unhappy daughter of Michelle Yeoh’s multiverse-skipping savior: He’d seen the movie multiple times, including at an actors guild screening earlier that evening.

Evelyn Wang (Michelle Yeoh) is an average Chinese mother who reluctantly becomes a superhero, jumping alternate worlds and absorbing powers to fight an evil ...

In the end, Evelyn introduces Becky to her father using the Cantonese word for "girlfriend," a scenario I could only wish for myself. Because the reality for me is that my mom, the one that conveniently forgets her son is gay, let alone married a Black man — is stuck in an alternate world of early dementia where she constantly asks: "Did you eat? Evelyn questioned what her life would have been like had she not gotten in that cab to move to the U.S. The idea that a Chinese kid, a child of immigrants, would receive any form of apology from their parents is a fairy tale. When faced with the reality of her business and relationship failures, Evelyn is then called upon to fight in the multiverse. When Jobu shows up at the laundromat, Evelyn protects Becky by shooing her away from the fight, a small gesture that acknowledges the girlfriend, and an Asian nod to keep other people away from family drama. But in this world, alpha Waymond is the long lost (now debonair) love waiting for her — or maybe she was led to him. She fights her alpha father while also fighting for approval from her real-life father, who disowned her for leaving to the US with Waymond. But this "evil" that came to be is explained by alpha Waymond, who said that Evelyn pushed Joy beyond her limits to become Jobu. When she brings her father with her to the IRS audit, the guilt of disappointing him led her to deny that there's anything wrong. But this messiness is what lies beyond the "saving face" of Asian American families, including mine; in Evelyn's case, the family-run laundromat is failing, her husband is getting ready to serve divorce papers, and her lesbian daughter is silently suffering from trying to gain her acceptance. And it's true: Evelyn is constantly fighting — fighting the IRS in reality, and various villains in the multiverse.

Daniel Kwan and Daniel Scheinert's sci-fi indie hit and Martin McDonagh's dark comedy lead this year's nominations with five nods each.

Up for best comedy series ensemble are the casts of "Abbott Elementary," "Barry," "The Bear," "Hacks" and "Only Murders in the Building."

[Golden Globe Awards](https://www.cbsnews.com/news/golden-globes-winners-nominees-list/) — and Martin McDonagh's "The Banshees of Inisherin" — which earned eight Golden Globe nominations and took home three, including the coveted prize for best musical or comedy — both tied a SAG record for the most nominations given to one title in a single year. And, in a surprise, James Cameron, who directed "Avatar: The Way of Water," was not nominated either. Nominees were announced by Ashley Park and Haley Lu Richardson, respectively known for "Emily in Paris" and "The White Lotus," on Instagram Live.
