Everything Everywhere All At Once took home the Best Feature award at the Gotham Awards. In addition to that, Ke Huy Quan bagged the Outstanding Supporting Performance for playing the different versions of Waymond Wang.
Co-director Daniel Kwan was on hand to receive the award and he shared what it was like to release the film. “One of the biggest things I learned about this year is the trauma that the people all around our country and all around the world are dealing with right now. Everyone is dealing with some sort of trauma,” Kwan said. “I’ve met so many people after screenings who have revealed that trauma to me because of the nature of our film, and one of the things I’m realizing now is that trauma [is]… the most important thing for us to be dealing with right now because trauma shrinks the imagination and we get trapped in the past,” he continued. “Right now if we’re going to endure the next 20, 30, 40, 50 years together, we’re going to have to heal that trauma collectively,” Kwan stated. “We’re going to have to figure out how to open up the collective imagination and we’re going to have to figure out how to all be whole, emotionally talented, kind, resilient people.”
