Everything Everywhere All At Once scored with the Washington, D.C. Area Film Critics Association (WAFCA) winning four major awards including Best Film, Best Director, Best Original Screenplay, and Best Supporting Actor for former child star Ke Huy Quan’s breakthrough return to acting after a 20-year hiatus.
In the other major acting races, Colin Farrell won Best Actor for his performance in Martin McDonagh’s The Banshees of Inisherin, Kerry Condon won Best Supporting Actress for the same film, as Farrell’s outspoken, increasingly concerned sister; and Cate Blanchett triumphed in the Best Actress category for her haunted tour de force turn in Todd Field’s TÁR.
Best International/Foreign Language Film was awarded to Park Chan-wook’s Decision to Leave, an intoxicating romantic mystery from South Korea, and Best Documentary kudos went to Good Night Oppy, Ryan White’s inspiring story of Opportunity, the NASA exploration rover whose planned 90-day mission to Mars in 2003 turned into a nearly 15-year odyssey.
The Washington, D.C. Area Film Critics Association comprises over 60 DC-VA-MD-based film critics from television, radio, print and the Internet.
