We have to go back to the Academy Awards in 1972 when Cabaret took home 8 Oscars – including Best Director and two acting prizes – without the big prize, Best Picture. That went to The Godfather, which also conquered in Best Actor and Screenplay. As we digest the recently announced winners for the 4th Pandora International Film Critics awards, there’s almost an exact mirror of those events some 50 years ago. The Daniels’ mesmerising Everything Everywhere All At Once notched up an incredible 8 wins including Directing, Ensemble and three individual acting prizes. It was its season-long rival, The Banshees of Inisherin that took the English Language Motion Picture, as well as Lead Actor and Screenwriting Original.
Elsewhere, The Batman grabbed 3 wins, with the sleeper hit of 2022, Aftersun, snagging both Breakthrough awards. There were wins too for Top Gun: Maverick, Nope, Guillermo Del Toro’s Pinocchio, Fire of Love, RRR, Women Talking and Decision To Leave winning the big prize of International Motion Picture.
