Netflix Scored Big Wins At The 95th Academy Awards Including Oscar for Best International Feature Film for ‘All quiet on the front’ and his first Oscar for Animated Feature Film for ‘Pinocchio by Guillermo del Toro’. In total, the platform won six Oscars on Sunday, having received 16 total nominations this year, a breath of fresh air in a year in which its popularity has hit unexpected lows.
Fair awards to two great films
‘All Quiet Front’, directed by Edward Berger, won four Oscars (with nine nominations), picking up the trophies for Best International Feature Film, Best Cinematography (James Friend), Original Score (Volker Bertelmann) and Production Design (Christian M. Goldbeck, Ernestine Hipper). The film is a grim and haunting adaptation of the famous World War I novel that had dominated the UK’s BAFTAs with a record seven awards, including Best Film, Director (Berger), Adapted Screenplay, Cinematography, Sound, Score. original sound. and non-English language film.
Guillermo Del Toro’s “Pinocchio,” a stop-motion adaptation of the classic fairy tale, beat out four other contenders in the category, including Netflix’s “The Sea Monster,” A24’s “Marcel the Shell With Shoes On,” ‘Puss in Boots: The Last Wish’ and ‘Red’ from Disney-Pixar. Netflix also won in the documentary short category for ‘The Elephant Whisperers’, which follows Bomman and Bellie, an indigenous couple from South India, who dedicate their lives to caring for an orphaned baby elephant named Raghu. Director Kartiki Gonsalves spent five years chronicling Bomman and Bellie for the documentary.
Netflix had already won 16 Oscars (out of 116 nominations) with strong awards season campaigns in recent years. But to date has failed to score a win on the best picture front. At the 2022 Oscars, Netflix only won one trophy: Jane Campion’s win for directing “The Power of the Dog.” In 2021, Netflix won seven Oscars, more than any other studio that year. In 2020, Martin Scorsese’s “The Irishman” was left out of the Oscars after receiving 10 nominations, and Alfonso Cuarón’s “Roma” won three Academy Awards in 2019, for directing, cinematography and foreign language film.
