“Everything Everywhere All At Once” claimed another Best Picture award, this time from the Seattle Film Critics Society. With the Oscar nominations a week away, it’s clear that both “Everything Everywhere All At Once” and the Daniels are the clear favorites of the critics’ awards season. Whether that will translate into love from the Academy will have to be seen. One film I guarantee will find some Oscar love is “The Banshees of Inisherin,” which won three honors from Seattle, including two for acting and the Best Screenplay award.
