The unorthodox but widely loved genre giant 'Everything Everywhere' won best supporting actor and best supporting actress for Ke Huy Quan and Jamie Lee Curtis.
HOLLYWOOD, United States - Subversive sci-fi flick Everything Everywhere All at Once collected key early prizes Sunday at the Oscars, where it is favourite to win the highly coveted best picture prize, as the star-studded Hollywood gala began with a flurry of jokes about the infamous slap.
Curtis paid tribute to her parents Tony Curtis and Janet Leigh, both Oscar-nominated actors who never won Hollywood's most coveted golden statuettes. The film has dominated nearly every awards show in Hollywood, with its charismatic, predominantly Asian stars becoming the feel-good story of the season.If any rival can prevail, it is likely All Quiet on the Western Front, Netflix's German-language World War I movie that dominated Britain's BAFTAs.
The spectre of "The Slap" has hung over the Oscars since Smith assaulted Rock on stage for cracking a joke about his wife. The lead acting contests - expected to be announced just before the night's final prize of best picture - are incredibly tight.
