‘Everything Everywhere All At Once’ dominates 2023 Oscar nominations
Sci-fi extravaganza "Everything Everywhere All At Once" dominated the 95th annual Academy Award nominations Tuesday morning with 11 nods, the most of any film. The absurdist movie was written and directed by Daniel Kwan and Daniel Scheinert, a duo who also earned a nod for best director. The field-leading "Everything Everywhere" was followed by nine nominations each for "The Banshees of Inisherin," Martin McDonagh's dark comedy about two best friends in a bitter feud, and the German submission "All Quiet on the Western Front," a World War I drama based on the 1929 novel.

It’s time to start predicting the 2023 Oscar nominees
Voting for the Academy Award nominations started Thursday, after a pre-ceremony run-up that looked almost normal after 2021's pandemic-bleakened Oscars and last year's untelevised Golden Globes.

The 22 movies we hated in 2022 – and how to watch them, if you must
This is a carousel. Use Next and Previous buttons to navigate 5 By now, in the wake of the Golden Globes, this week's Oscar nominations, a raft of smaller film awards and a flotilla of top 10 lists, a consensus has started to congeal around the quote-unquote best movies of 2022, with "Everything Everywhere All at Once," "The Banshees of Inisherin," "Tár," "Aftersun" and "Elvis" leading the pack of last year's most honored films. But not so fast. Keep reading, and you'll notice that one of those titles - I'm looking at you, "Elvis" - also appears in the list below, a compendium of the bottom tier of reviews by The Washington Post's critics: movies that couldn't muster up more than 1 1/2 stars out of four. It's often more fun to read a bad review than a good one. And sometimes it can be more fun to watch a bad movie - or at least a polarizing one - than something that has garnered universal acclaim. In the spirit of service journalism, … [Read more...] about The 22 movies we hated in 2022 – and how to watch them, if you must
