When “Everything Everywhere All at Once” came out in March of this year, everyone was betting that it would be the big winner at the end of the year, into the Oscars. The Atlanta Film Critics Circle Awards put that claim to the test, giving “Everything Everywhere All at Once” the Best Picture and Best Director awards. Ke Huy Quan also continues his Critics season sweep, winning Best Supporting Actor yet again. “Glass Onion: A Knives Out Mystery” and “The Banshees of Inisherin” were some other notable winners in multiple categories, along with “Top Gun: Maverick.”
