Daniel Scheinert and Daniel Kwan speak after winning the Oscar for Best Picture for "Everything Everywhere All at Once"

A film about family trauma, talking rocks, and a raccoon chef has won Best Picture at the 95th Academy Awards, and we couldn't be more excited.

Of course, we're talking about Everything Everywhere All at Once, the wonderfully weird multiverse-hopping movie that took the world — and awards season — by storm. After earning 11 Oscar nominations, the film walked away with seven awards: Best Picture, Best Original Screenplay, Best Director, Best Actress, Best Supporting Actor, Best Supporting Actress, and Best Editing. This makes it the most awarded Best Picture winner at the Oscars since Slumdog Millionaire in 2009.

Everything Everywhere All at Once's victory comes at the end of a mammoth awards season where it was nominated for Best Musical/Comedy at the Golden Globes and took home Best Picture at the Critics Choice Awards. Even more impressive is its sweep of Hollywood's guild awards, including the Screen Actors Guild, the Writers Guild of America, the Producers Guild of America, and the Directors Guild of America.

For reference as to how impressive that is, only four other films have accomplished that sweep: American Beauty, No Country for Old Men, Slumdog Millionaire, and Argo, all of which went on to win Best Picture at the Oscars.

In his speech, producer Jonathan Wang shouted out one of Everything Everywhere All at Once's most iconic lines, telling his wife, "If all this shiny stuff and tuxedos just goes away, I would just love to do laundry and taxes with you for the rest of my life."

Co-director Daniel Kwan added, "One of the best things that we can do for each other is shelter each other from the crazy chaos of this world that we live in. Thank you to the storytellers here who did that for me. The world is changing rapidly, and I fear that our stories are not keeping at pace. Sometimes it's a little scary knowing that movies move at the rate of years, and the world and the internet is moving at the rate of milliseconds, but I have great faith in our stories. These stories have changed my life, and they have done that for generations, and I know that we'll get through this."
