Everything Everywhere All at Once can add another historic win to its list.

According to IGNs calculations, the multiversal hit is now the most-awarded film ever with 158 accolades to date from major critics organizations and awards bodies. This spot was previously held by The Lord of the Rings: The Return of the King, which earned 101 major awards by IGNs math.

IGN painstakingly tallied every single accolade Everything Everywhere All at Once has received this awards season, including those from major critics organizations and pre-Oscars awards such as the Golden Globes, SAG Awards, and Indie Spirits.

Now, some caveats, and why our math may look different from yours: not every single critics organization made the cut, and neither did things like IGNs own year-end best-of list. If every single nomination and award was counted, Everything Everywhere All At Once would still beat out Return of the King in both awards and nominations (336 awards, 691 nominations to 213 awards, 337 nominations).

Additionally, in the 20 years since the release of Return of the King, a whole new slew of organizations, critics circles, and websites began giving out their own awards to movies. For EEAAO, the amount of awards it won was heavily influenced by the number of organizations that nominated it (110 compared to ROTKs 90).

In an effort to level the playing field, IGN narrowed the list down to only award-giving bodies that recognized both films. Out of the 152 total organizations that gave nominations to EEAAO and ROTK, only 45 recognized both films. Narrowing down their totals to just these 45 organizations, EEAAO still has ROTK beat when it comes to awards (138 to 127), nominations (295 to 189), and organizations that gave them an award (39 to 37). See below a quick look at IGN's math.

There's no doubting Everything Everywhere All at Once's breakthroughs in Hollywood over this past year. Michelle Yeoh and Ke Huy Quan made history at the SAG Awards last month for their portrayals of Evelyn Wang and Waymond Wang, respectively. Yeoh became the first Asian best actress film winner in SAG history, while Quan became the first Asian male to win the outstanding supporting actor award in film.

With 11 Oscar nominations under its belt, Everything Everywhere All at Once could score big at the 95th Academy Awards on Sunday.

I did not like this movie at all....

I thought it was fine, but I watched it in two airplane trips kinda distracted.

Awesome movie

It was ok but this whole multiverse shit is so played out.

What do you mean you studied the concepts

This must speak to more to the last year of film. Or else the number of recognized award giving institutions has increased

You're probably not sophisticated enough to understand even if he told you. Because you like Everything Everywhere All at Once.

They accounted for everything and made the comparison as fair as possible. EEAAO still has more.

Master and Commander is better than both, though.

Is he the guy who regularly holds a sham of an "awards show" where the voting consists of 15 people from a personal discord or some shit?

Good stuff.

The film was like a homecooked meal after spending years of eating junk food.

I can't get over how it released right next to dr strange and actually showed how you handle the multiverse concept 100x better

One of the best movies ever. Deserved.

Im pretty sure that last part means he has killed people.

It was a joke. It's more about how I could spin his post to come off to poke at it, rather than who I actually thought he was being. I liked the movie, but I like Del Toro's Pinocchio more. Out the few movies I watched, Everything was the 2nd best imo.

I have a family. They love me and would miss me.

I thought the movie was awesome, love tying the scifi theme to personal acceptance to family bond.

You're a smart, good boy, and daddy loves you.

Personally liked Banshees more, but would be perfectly OK with an oscars sweep with this movie.

Never even heard of the movie....maybe I'll try it out

inb4 marvel fans come here saying it has no cultural impact

U don't like pens joke?

It's a good movie, didn't think it's anything above that though. I like michelle yeoh and quan though, so I'm glad it's getting all the wares. Better than some other 57 generic marvel multiverse movie getting it.

Well deserved.

Agreed

3/4s of the movie didnt matter. The last 4th just reveals its nothing but a feel good family drama.

This is why it fully deserves the accolades. Most people don't watch good movies because they prefer blockbusters, EEAAO had just enough mainstream appeal to get people who don't watch other kinds of movies to watch it.

Pretty sure he knows it's cinema. He is unfortunately unable to appreciate its quality

I always catch this movie on Showtime in the middle of its runtime and it always looks way too goofy for me to enjoy.

Why did everybody lose their collective minds over this movie?

Good like Infinity War, which holds up years later and remains a triumph of long-term cinematic storytelling and character development?

Or good like Undertale, which is basically filled with memes and got popular because of an over-eager fandom?

Do you think this movie will remain beloved in five years, or do you think it will fizzle out and be forgotten once the hype dies down?

IMO, this movie is going to age very well.

This is a weird thing to care about. Just watch it, or don't, if you're one of those people who is turned off by popular opinion.

It's a cinematic masterpiece. There's so many good things about this movie. Have you seen it?

I've never heard of this movie

no need to lie to look cool on CE

I think the kind of person who immediately jumps to a superhero movie as an example here is not the kind of person who would connect with the drama of EEAAO and probably finds the absurdism to be a turn off.
And that's ok, not everyone is going to like every movie.

I think it's good but not that good.

I'm sincerely asking what people think about it. Meme popularity has been an interesting phenomenon over the years. Every so often, some indie project explodes onto the scene and gets called 'the best [genre] game/movie ever made' and then after a year or so it just kinda fades away.

This one has the makings of Undertale, from what I've noticed. Massive awards hype, praise that puts it above "all the mainstream projects with no soul," people say things like "THIS is what [other thing] should have been"

It will be interesting to chart its trajectory over the next couple of years.

The movie had me in tears. It deserves every accolade it gets.

Everyone was losing their shit over this when it came out, and then, predictably, once it started getting more mainstream attention, a ton of people decided they didn't love it anymore.
