2023 Netflix Oscar Nominees and Winners

All Quiet on the Western Front

*WINNER* 

  • Cinematography
  • International Feature Film
  • Production Design
  • Music (Original Score)
  • Production Design

One Academy Award that has so far eluded Netflix is the Best Picture Oscar. Netflix will be hoping to change that in 2023, with All Quiet on the Western Front up for the award.

After captivating audiences and critics around the globe, German filmmaker Edward Berger’s haunting, harrowing World War I drama earned an impressive nine nominations.

The first German adaptation of Erich Maria Remarque’s best-selling 1929 novel, Berger’s staunchly anti-war tale centers on a group of young army soldiers who are forever changed by the horrors they witness in the trenches. 

All Quiet on the Western Front, starring Felix Kammerer, has received nine nominations in total, making it one of this year's most nominated films, behind Everything Everywhere All at Once with 11 nominations.

Glass Onion: A Knives Out Mystery

Rian Johnson’s Knives Out sequel, the crowd-pleasing whodunit Glass Onion starring Daniel Craig, has earned a single Oscar nomination for Best Adapted Screenplay. 

Some fans were confused about why the murder mystery film was nominated in the Adapted Screenplay category, given it's an original script by Johnson.

But that's because it's a sequel, and according to Dexerto, sequels are automatically considered adapted screenplays as they stem from past works. 

Its predecessor, Knives Out, earned a Best Original Screenplay nomination in 2019.

  • *WINNER* Guillermo Del Toro’s Pinocchio - one nomination, Best Animated Feature
  • The Sea Beast - one nomination, Best Animated Feature
  • Bardo, False Chronicle of a Handful of Truths - one nomination, Best Cinematography
  • Blonde - one nomination, Best Actress (Ana de Armas)
  • The Martha Mitchell Effect - one nomination, Best Documentary Short
