Sooner great, turned producer Tim Headington earns Oscar win for ‘Everything Everywhere All At Once’

Notable OU alumni Tim Headington is credited as a producer for the 2023 Oscars Best Picture winner “Everything Everywhere All At Once.”

Sports and movies go hand in hand. Sports’ biggest stars have crossed over into film countless times, forming a unique blend of talent, flair, and notoriety.

Oklahoma has a few actors that are alumni of the university. Academy Award-nominated actor Ed Harris and former “Newsroom” actress Olivia Munn. While not a Sooner alumnus, James Garner is a native of Norman, Oklahoma, and has donated to the Weitzenhoffer College of Fine Arts at OU. Garner won an Oscar for his performance in “Murphy’s Romance.”

It’s awards season, and Oklahoma has a connection to this year’s critical darling.

“Everything Everywhere All At Once” won seven Oscars this past weekend. The film’s originality, screenplay, acting, editing, and visual effects were lauded. Distributed by one of the world’s most popular distribution companies, A24, the film dominated the awards circuit.

Tim Headington, a former Oklahoma tennis player, and a Sooner alum, served as a producer on the film. Headington has numerous producer credits on other films such as “The Green Knight,” “Argo” (Best Picture winner in 2013), and “Rango,” which won Best Animated Feature in 2011.

Headington was inducted into the Oklahoma Hall of Fame in 2013 and co-founded the Headington Institute, a nonprofit organization that provides psychological support for humanitarian workers and first responders.

Headington Hall, operated by the OU Athletic Department, is named after Headington due to his generous donations to the betterment of the university. Many Oklahoma athletes live there each academic year, and it offers state-of-the-art amenities for its residents.

Headington’s success as a businessman and philanthropist is well-documented, and he currently sits on Forbes’ billionaire list. Headington is credited as being an executive producer on the upcoming film “Shortcomings,” which was previewed at the illustrious Sundance Fim Festival.

Harrison Ford and Ke Huy Quan share wholesome Indiana Jones reunion on stage at the Oscars

We’re not crying, you’re crying.

When Harrison Ford took the stage to present the final award of the evening — Best Picture — at the Oscars, it set up the possibility for a wonderfully heartwarming reunion. Ford, who played hunky archaeologist Indiana Jones in the popular movie series, acted alongside Everything Everywhere All At Once Best Supporting Actor Ke Huy Quan in 1984’s Indiana Jones and the Temple of Doom.

Quan was just 13 years old at the time, playing Jones’ spunky sidekick Short Round in the film.

Fast forward nearly 40 years and the two were able to reconnect in the most wholesome way. Quan detailed a story of running into Ford at Disney’s D23 event in October of 2022, and it was the cutest thing. Now they’ve added a new chapter as the duo embraced on stage after Ford announced Everything Everywhere All At Once as the year’s Best Picture.

What an incredible journey for these two actors.

The latter was nominated in the same category as Jamie Lee Curtis in 1961, adding to the specialness of the moment.

Everything Everywhere All at Once started out Oscar night with aplomb, with Ke Huy Quan also winning Best Supporting Actor.

Those who have grown up watching Curtis on the big screen can appreciate what a cool moment this is. It’s always great when veteran actors can have their time in the sun, and Curtis was incredibly deserving for this award.

Her speech showed how much it meant for her to finally get her due.

Ke Huy Quan gave the most beautiful speech after winning Best Supporting Actor at the Oscars

Ke Huy Quan gave a beautiful speech after winning the Oscar.

Ke Huy Quan gave what might be one day looked at as one of the best Academy Awards speeches of all time.

After he won Best Supporting Actor for his performance in the film Everything Everywhere All at Once, a visibly emotional Quan went to the stage and delivered a heartfelt ode to his family, his story and those with whom he worked on the film.

Michelle Yeoh’s awards history at the Oscars

Has Michelle Yeoh won an Oscar? We’ve got the answer.

Michelle Yeoh has one of the most trailblazing careers of anyone in Hollywood.

She transitioned from being an action star in Hong Kong cinema to being a major player in the American film industry, with her turn in 1997’s Tomorrow Never Dies and 2000’s Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon helping fuel her stateside breakout.

With her acclaimed performance in last year’s Everything Everywhere All at Once, she could take home the Best Actress at Sunday’s 95th Academy Awards.

Has she ever won an Oscar before, or would this be her first?

This is actually her first nomination at the Academy Awards, although she earned plenty of attention for Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon and could’ve been nominated for that martial-arts classic.

Yeoh is primarily contending with Tár‘s Cate Blanchett for the Best Actress Oscar. One of those two have the best chance at the honor. Yeoh won the Screen Actors Guild, while Blanchett won the BAFTA.

It’ll be a photo finish between the two Hollywood heavyweights.

Jamie Lee Curtis’ awards history at the Oscars

Has Jamie Lee Curtis ever won an Oscar?

Screen legend Jamie Lee Curtis has spent years entertaining movie fans in a variety of beloved roles.

From Halloween‘s Laurie Strode to A Fish Called Wanda‘s Wanda Gershwitz, the daughter of film icons Tony Curtis and Janet Leigh has built for herself a memorable career, with or without an Oscar.

On Sunday night, Curtis is up for the Best Supporting Actress award for her wacky turn as an IRS employee in Everything Everywhere All at Once.

Would a victory give Curtis her first Academy Award? It would, as this year’s nomination is actually her first at the Oscars.

Outside of a nomination for Everything Everywhere All at Once, Curtis won a BAFTA in 1984 for Best Supporting Actress in the comedy Trading Places and earned a Best Actress nomination for A Fish Called Wanda.

The Golden Globes have nominated Curtis seven times over the years in various film and television categories, and she’s also been nominated by the Emmys, Grammys and Screen Actors Guild.

She won SAG’s Supporting Actress category last month for Everything Everywhere All at Once.

However, a win at this year’s Academy Awards would give her a trophy on her first nomination. It’d be a great moment for a deserving career in Hollywood.
