Everything Everywhere All At Once, unsurprisingly, dominated the Oscars 2023 as it went on to win multiple awards, including Best Director, Best Picture, Best Actress, and many more. The movie was among the frontrunners to win quite a few awards as it had received widespread critical acclaim for its distinctive visual style, performances, and ambition, among other things.

One of the most memorable moments from the event was director Daniel Kwan wearing an Oscar suit that paid tribute to the film. His suit had the word ''Punk'' written across it, similar to what Michelle Yeoh's character Evelyn wore in Everything Everywhere All At Once.

One fan mentioned that the director wearing the suit made them cry.

Daniel Kwan and Daniel Scheinert were greeted with loud cheers as they arrived on stage to receive the Oscar for Best Director. In a moving acceptance speech, Scheinert said:

''This one is dedicated to the mommies of the world, to our moms, specifically my mom and dad, thank you for not squashing my creativity when I was making really disturbing horror films or really perverted comedy films or dressing in drag as a kid, which is a threat to nobody!''

Daniel Kwan then went on to state:

''I know every director agrees with me when I say a director is nothing without their incredible cast and crew. This is my family and friends. If our movie has greatness and genius it's only because they have greatness and genius flowing through their hearts and souls and minds. They gave that precious gift to our film.''

He concluded his speech by saying:

''There is greatness in every single person, it doesn't matter who they are. You have a genius waiting to erupt, you just need to find the right people to unlock that. Thank you to everyone who has unlocked my genius.''
