BEST PICTURE Will win: "Everything Everywhere All at Once" The story: Where to begin? A woman whose family owns a laundromat finds herself in parallel worlds where she's a spy, a superhero and a movie star. In its favor: It was a hit with critics and audiences, who made the modestly budgeted comedy-drama a surprise hit last spring. Then again: It's weird. The universe-jumping, in particular, put off some moviegoers who ordinarily would be attracted to a story with a strong woman at its center....

Two more significant matters have since been added to the docket. On November 4, the justices agreed...
