There may well be a universe in whichEverything Everywhere All At Onceisn’t a dominant force, an unstoppable freight train of awards gold, but it doesn’t seem to be this one as the film continues to stack up awards.
Having already won the top prizes at awards shows including theDGA Awardsand thePGA Awards- the BAFTAs were a rare defeat for the film - it continued its momentum by winning a record-breaking seven prizes at last night’s Spirit Awards, winning every category in which it was nominated. The only award it did not win was forJamie Lee Curtis, who lost for supporting performer to her co-starKe Huy Quan.
And it’s arguable that loss only occurred following the move by the Spirit Awards to move to gender-neutral acting categories for the first time, which meant Curtis and Quan being up for the same award. Previously, three films had won six Spirit Awards -Moonlight, Sideways,andPulp Fiction.

The move to gender-neutral awards, which saw each category bumped up to ten nominees instead of five, was referenced both by hostHasan Minhajand award winner Brunson. Minhaj joked that the move was one he supported because for the first time in history, all the men will know how all the women feel when they find out they’re competing with Cate Blanchett," while Brunson added “It’s kind of tight, in there with your peers" during her acceptance speech.
