Chazelle’s film in the running for only three nominations, in a fragmentation of titles that seems to want to include rather than exclude
Nothing new even on the Oscar front if not perhaps the presence, with nine nominations, of the film based on Remarque, All Quiet on the Western Front, candidate both to represent Germany among international films (those that were once called films foreigners) and among those also competing for the best film, given that the Netflix co-producer also released it in theaters in good time.
For the rest of the nominations of this ninety-fifth edition of the Academy Awards do not differ much from the recent Golden Globes, of which some awards will probably also be presented again, Kate Blanchett and Colin Farrell above all. In the lead is Everything Everywhere All at Once with eleven nominations, then tied for Island Spirits and All Quiet with nine nominations, Elvis with eight, The Fabelmans with seven, Top Gun: Maverick and Tr with six and Black Panther : Wakanda Forever with five; The Avatar follows with four nominations (three techniques plus one for best film, although it is easy to predict that he won’t be the first to arrive) and then all the others who have to settle for two or three nominations, starting with from Babylon, who can be considered the great loser of this edition: three nominations but none really heavy.
After the excesses of the last edition, with the highest prize awarded to Coda – I signs of the heart in the name of excessive political correctness, this year the jurors seem to have returned to being guided by aesthetic rather than content criteria. With some pleasant surprises such as Bill Nighy nominated for best actor for Living (also competing for the screenplay by Kazuo Ishiguro) or, to gratify national pride, Le pupille by Alice Rohwacher among fictional shorts, the only Italian author present in this edition after the elimination, already in the pre-selection phase, of Martone’s Nostalgia as best international film (where the personal greetings all go to Argentina, 1985 by Santiago Mitre).
No big oversight would come to be saidbut rather a fragmentation of nominations that has sought to include rather than exclude, as if the Hollywood industry wanted to deploy maximum firepower to face a season charged with making the dark years of the pandemic forget.
