Everything Everywhere All at Once: cast of Best Picture Oscars 2023 nominee, and how to watch online

Everything Everywhere All at Once is a fast-paced science-fiction adventure comedy that about a woman who goes on a bizarre multiverse adventure. It was released in the same year as Marvel’s Doctor Strange in the Multiverse of Madness, but was much more favourably received - MoM did not get a single Oscar nod.

The film, directed by ‘the Daniels’ - Daniel Kwan and Daniel Scheinert - looks to be a front-runner for top prizes in both the Oscars and the Baftas this year, and also performed well at the box office - making more than $100 million off a $25 million budget.

Following the announcement of the Oscar nominees on Tuesday, many film fans are keen to see the movie ahead of the Academy Awards ceremony in March - read here all at once to find out everything you need to know about Everything Everywhere All at Once:

What is Everything Everywhere All at Once about?

The mind-bending movie begins normally, with Evelyn Wang, a laundromat owner who is falling behind on her bills, in a stale marriage, and trying to bond with her teenage daughter whilst also caring for her elderly father.

Things take a pretty significant turn when Evelyn enters the multiverse, glimpsing different versions of herself across different parallel universes - including one in which everyone has hot dogs for fingers.

Evelyn learns that her daughter is a powerful being crossing through these alternative universes with the aim of destroying the entire multiverse out of nihilism. As Evelyn tries to stop her, she must come to terms with her position in her own universe and find a reason for living for herself, as well as for her daughter.

Who is in the cast of Everything Everywhere All at Once?

Michelle Yeoh stars as Evelyn Quan Wang, the dissatisfied wife and mother who becomes a multiverse traversing warrior. Yeoh has was a big star in Asian cinema throughout the 1980s and ‘90s, but broke out to western audiences following her appearance in Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon.

She has also appeared in The Mummy: Tomb of the Dragon Emperor, Marco Polo, and Marvel films Guardians of the Galaxy: Vol. 2, and Shang-Chi and the Legend of the Ten Rings.

Stephanie Hsu plays Evelyn’s daughter Joy Wang, who wreaks havoc across universes, using her immense power to try to destroy everything by crushing all of reality in a bagel-sized black hole. Hsu’s other roles include playing Joy in drama series The Path, and starring alongside Yeoh in Shang-Chi.

Jamie Lee Curtis plays Deirdre Beaubeirdre, an IRS inspector who is auditing Evelyn’s business, as well as a villain across the multiverse - though in one universe she is Evelyn’s lover.
