In the late 1960s, young cineastes shook up a
moribund film industry by delivering idiosyncratic, startlingly original work.
The moment became known as New
Hollywood.

When film historians look back at the 95th Academy Awards,
they may mark it as the start of a new New Hollywood. Voters honored A24’s
head-twisting, TikTok-era “Everything Everywhere All at Once” with the Oscar
for best picture — along with six other awards — while naming Netflix’s
German-language war epic “All Quiet on the Western Front” the winner in four
categories, including best international film.

The Daniels, the young filmmaking duo behind the racially
diverse “Everything Everywhere All at Once”, won
Oscars for their original
screenplay and directing. The film also won Oscars for film editing, best
actress, and best supporting actor and actress, with Michelle Yeoh, Ke Huy
Quan, and Jamie Lee Curtis honored for their performances.
“Ladies, don’t let anybody ever tell you that you are ever
past your prime,” Yeoh, 60, said when accepting the best actress Oscar. “Never
give up.” She was the first Asian woman to receive the award.

The Academy of Motion Picture Arts and Sciences spread
nominations remarkably far and wide this year. Two blockbuster sequels,
“
Avatar: The Way of Water” and “Top Gun: Maverick”, made the best picture cut.
So did the little-seen art films “Triangle of Sadness”, “Women Talking”, and
“Tár”. Voters also made room for a musical (“Elvis”) and a memory piece (“The
Fabelmans”).
New names and familiar facesIn some ways, spreading nominations widely reflected the
jumbled state of Hollywood. No one in the movie capital seems to know which end
is up, with streaming services like
Netflix hot then not, and studios unsure
about how many films to release in theaters.
First-time nominees filled 16 of the 20 acting slots, with
new stars like Austin Butler (“Elvis”), Barry Keoghan (“
The Banshees of Inisherin”), Brian Tyree Henry (“Causeway”), Paul Mescal (“Aftersun”) and
Stephanie Hsu (“Everything Everywhere All at Once”) honored for breakthrough
roles.

But first-time acting nominations also went to
Hollywood stalwarts like Curtis, Yeoh, and Brendan Fraser.
An overcome Fraser, who won the Oscar for best actor for his
performance as an obese professor in “The Whale”, thanked Darren Aronofsky, the
film’s director, “for throwing me a creative lifeline”.
