The star of the 2023 Oscar season was “Everything Everywhere All at Once,” but you could be forgiven for thinking it was A24. The company picked up nine Oscars at the ceremony and there wasn’t a safe commercial bet among them.
On top of launching the zany ambition of “Everything Everywhere” into a $107 million worldwide gross, A24 also scored two Oscars for Darren Aronofsky’s divisive “The Whale,” which sneaked its way past $35 million accumulated over a gradual release plan. Its nominees also included two Cannes acquisitions, Best International Feature Film nominee “Close” and “Aftersun,” which secured a Best Actor nomination for Paul Mescal and solidified his stardom. Despite the blockbuster successes of “Top Gun: Maverick” and “Avatar: The Way of Water” in 2022, the year’s big winner was a company that didn’t exist when these franchises were born.

I went to the state of Texas in the USA to visit some immersive English Language schools. I figured; “It’s Austin, how cold could it be?” I made it San Francisco before I became stranded. Texas, it seemed, was frozen.
My sister-in-law lives in the state of Idaho. She said to me “How cold can it be? I bet Idaho is colder.” I told her she was right, Idaho was colder, but the airports were still open. Texas was frozen.
So I spent the night with friends in San Francisco and tried again the next day. When I arrived at the airport all flights into Texas were cancelled, except for mine. Still frozen it seems.
I finally caught my very full flight and we headed to Texas. My daughter-in-law warned me that the power was out, but it should be back on before I arrived.
The power remained cut off for three days. The only heat we had was a gas fireplace, the only light was from candles and flashlights. I ended up not visiting any of the schools on my list due to the combination of frezzing rain and no power, but I did make some new memories.
