“Everything Everywhere All at Once” is one of the few films in Oscars history to win Best Picture, Best Director and Best Editing plus prizes for acting and writing. Daniel Kwan and Daniel Scheinert won Best Director and Best Original Screenplay while they shared in the Best Picture win with Jonathan Wang. Paul Rogers took home Best Film Editing while the film claimed three acting victories: Best Actress for Michelle Yeoh, Best Supporting Actress for Jamie Lee Curtis, and Best Supporting Actor for Ke Huy Quan.

“Forrest Gump” was the last movie to win these top awards. it won Best Picture in 1995 for Wendy Finerman, Steve Starkey, and Steve Tisch while Robert Zemeckis won Best Director, Tom Hanks won Best Actor, Eric Roth won Best Adapted Screenplay, and Arthur Schmidt won Best Editing.

Several other movies have come close to achieving this feat, with “American Beauty” (2000), “A Beautiful Mind” (2002), ” “No Country For Old Men” (2008), and “The King’s Speech” (2011) all winning Best Picture (Bruce Cohen and Dan Jinks/Brian Grazer and Ron Howard/Scott Rudin, Joel and Ethan Coen/Iain Canning, Emile Sherman, and Gareth Unwin) and Best Director (Sam Mendes/Howard/the Coens/Tom Hooper), as well as writing awards (Alan Ball/Akiva Goldsman/the Coens/David Seidler) and acting (Kevin Spacey/Jennifer Connelly/Javier Bardem/Colin Firth) but missing out on Best Editing (Tariq Anwar and Christopher Greenbury/Mike Hill and Daniel P. Hanley/the Coens/Anwar), wins.

Meanwhile, 1994 winner “Schindler’s List” won Best Picture (Steven Spielberg, Gerald R. Molen, and Branko Lustig), Best Director (Spielberg), Best Adapted Screenplay (Steven Zaillian), and Best Film Editing (Michael Kahn) but lost its Best Actor (Liam Neeson) and Best Supporting Actor (Ralph Fiennes) bids. And 1997 champion “The English Patient” took home Best Picture (Saul Zaentz), Best Director (Anthony Minghella), Best Supporting Actress (Juliette Binoche), and Best Editing (Walter Murch) but lost the Best Adapted Screenplay (Minghella) race.

Of this year’s 10 Best Picture nominees, only three contend for Best Picture, Best Director, and Best Editing as well as writing and acting awards. They are Universal’s “Oppenheimer,” Le Pacte’s “Anatomy of a Fall,” and Searchlight’s “Poor Things.” Let’s assess each film’s chances according to our Oscar predictions.

Let’s start with “Anatomy of a Fall.” The film only has five nominations but they are in these major categories. Producers Marie-Ange Luciani and David Thion are nominated for Best Picture, Justine Triet is nominated for Best Director, Sandra Hüller is up for Best Actress, Triet and Arthur Harari are competing for Best Original Screenplay, and Laurent Sénéchal is nominated for Best Editing. However, we are only predicting this film to win one of these awards: Best Original Screenplay. The film ranks in fourth place in both Picture and Director while it’s in second place for Editing and third for Actress. Just one win here then.

Next up is “Poor Things.” Ed Guiney, Andrew Lowe, Yorgos Lanthimos, and Emma Stone are nominated as producers for Best Picture while Lanthimos is up for Best Director, Stone is up for Best Actress, Mark Ruffalo is up for Best Supporting Actor, Tony McNamara is competing for Best Adapted Screenplay, and Yorgos Mavropsaridis is nominated for Best Editing. “Poor Things” is in third place for Best Picture so it has a reasonable chance at winning even though it is certainly not the favorite. Lanthimos is in second place in the Best Director list, McNamara is in fourth spot for Original Screenplay, and Mavropsaridis is also fourth in Editing. However, we do think Stone will win her second Best Actress Oscar this year after she previously won for “La La Land” in 2017. Again, just one victory here.

“Oppenheimer,” however, is the big threat as it looks set to match its runtime, A-list cast, and box office takings with a juggernaut awards haul. “Oppenheimer” is predicted to win Best Picture for producers Christopher Nolan, Emma Thomas, and Charles Roven while Nolan is also expected to pick up Best Director and Best Adapted Screenplay. That’s three. We also think it will triumph for Best Editing for Jennifer Lame. Four. So how about the final practice — acting? Well, it has three bids for its performers: Best Actor for Cillian Murphy, Best Supporting Actress for Emily Blunt, and Best Supporting Actor for Robert Downey Jr. We think Blunt will lose while Murphy is in a two-way battle with “The Holdovers” star Paul Giamatti for Best Actor. He could easily win and easily miss out. However, Downey Jr. is an absolute lock to win Best Supporting Actor.

That means that we do, indeed, think that “Oppenheimer” will win Oscars for picture, directing, acting, writing, and editing. Talk about explosive.
