Los Angeles | Everything Everywhere All at Once won the prestigious best picture trophy at the Academy Awards on Sunday (Monday AEDT) as Hollywood embraced an offbeat story about a Chinese-American family working out their problems across multiple dimensions.

The movie claimed three of the four acting Oscars for stars Michelle Yeoh, Ke Huy Quan and Jamie Lee Curtis. Yeoh became the first Asian woman to win the Academy Award for best actress, playing the lead role of a stressed-out laundromat owner who finds she has super powers in alternative universes.
