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

The Power of the Dog had 12 Oscar nominations in total in 2022, including Best Picture, Best Actor (Benedict Cumberbatch), and Best Director (Jane Campion).

The film's director, Jane Campion, won the Oscar for Best Director - only the third woman to scoop the prize. 

Benedict Cumberbatch and Kirsten Dunst star in the western which is based on Thomas Savage’s book of the same name.

Set in 1925, Cumberbatch plays rancher Phil Burbank. The film follows the story of him and his brother George (Jesse Plemons), as they meet widowed proprietress Rose (Dunst) and her impressionable son Peter (Kodi Smit-McPhee) on their way to market.

Phil is cruel to the pair, but George later marries Rose, which alters the family dynamics. 

Don't Look Up (2022)

Don't Look up had four Oscar nominations in total including Best Picture and Best Original Screenplay, but didn't take any awards home. 

An out-of-this-world cast including Leonardo DiCaprio, Jennifer Lawrence, Meryl Streep, Jonah Hill and Cate Blanchett assemble for Adam McKay’s story about a comet that’s on a collision course with Earth.

While having six months to save the plight of mankind may feel like a big deal, in Don’t Look Up nobody seems to care, being more concerned with social media and celebrity break-ups.

Can astronomy grad student Kate Dibiasky (Lawrence) and her professor Dr Randall Mindy (DiCaprio) convince the world to just look up before it's too late? 

tick, tick...BOOM! (2022)

tick, tick...BOOM! was nominated for two Oscars in total: Best Actor (Andrew Garfield) and Best Film Editing, but didn't take any awards home.

Andrew Garfield stars in the directorial debut from Pulitzer Prize and Tony Award winner Lin-Manuel Miranda. 

In the musical, based on the life on Rent creator Jonathan Larson, Garfield plays Jon, a young theatre composer who’s waiting tables at a New York City diner in 1990, while writing what he hopes will be the next great American musical.

But he’s feeling the pressure from all angles, including from his girlfriend Susan (Alexandra Shipp) and his friend Michael (Robin de Jesus), all while the AIDS epidemic beings to ravage the city's gay community. 

The Lost Daughter (2022)

The Lost Daughter was nominated for three Oscars in total in 2022: Best Actress (Olivia Colman), Best Supporting Actress (Jessie Buckley) and Best Adapted Screenplay (Maggie Gyllenhaal), but went home empty-handed.

Olivia Colman added to the strong British representation at last year’s Oscars with a nomination for her role in the Maggie Gyllenhall film, The Lost Daughter.

While beachside on a Mediterranean holiday, Leda (Colman) becomes obsessed with observing a mother and her young daughter. Watching them and their extended family brings back memories of Leda’s own motherhood and forces her to face up to the decisions she made as a young mum. 

The Mitchells vs. the Machines (2022)

Netflix had a great pedigree in the animation catergories in 2022, including a Best Animated Feature nomination for The Mitchells vs. the Machines.

The Mitchells vs. the Machines is about an ordinary family that go on a road trip, but who quickly find themselves in the middle of their biggest family challenge yet – to save the world from the robot apocalypse.

The all-star voice cast includes Richard E. Grant as Magpie and Gillian Anderson as Cat. 

The Hand of God (2022)

The Hand of God was nominated for Best International Feature.  

Ma Rainey’s Black Bottom (2021)

Adapted from the play by two-time Pulitzer Prize winner August Wilson, Ma Rainey’s Black Bottom picked up five Oscar nominations and two wins in 2021 for makeup and hairstyling.

Levee (Chadwick Boseman, in his final film role) spurs his fellow musicians into an eruption of stories revealing truths that will forever change the course of their lives.

Mank (2021)

David Fincher’s Mank led the 2021 Oscars with 10 nominations, picking up two statuettes, for production design and cinematography.

Mank is a scathing critique of 1930s Hollywood, as film studio RKO hires 24-year-old wonderkid Orson Welles (Tom Burke). For his first film, Welles hires washed-up alcoholic Herman J. Mankiewicz (Gary Oldman) to write the screenplay for the film, Citizen Kane.

Klaus is written by Sergio Pablos, known for his work on animated flicks including Despicable Me, Treasure Planet and Rio.

Roma (2019)

Roma was nominated for 10 Oscars in 2019, including Best Picture, Best Original Screenplay, and Best Director for Alfonso Cuarón. 

The most personal project to date from the award-winning Mexican director and writer, Roma follows Cleo, a young domestic worker for a family in the middle-class neighborhood of Roma in Mexico City. 

Delivering an artful love letter to the women who raised him, Cuarón draws on his own childhood to create a vivid and emotional portrait of domestic strife and social hierarchy amidst political turmoil of the 1970s. 

The Ballad of Buster Scruggs (2019)

The Ballad of Buster Scruggs was nominated for three Oscars in 2019, including Best Adapted Screenplay.

With a current 96% Rotten Tomatoes rating, Mudbound has been widely praised both for its compelling performances and its music score.

End Game (2019)

End Game was nominated in the Best Documentary Short Subject category at the 2019 Academy Awards.

This emotional documentary takes viewers inside two San Francisco Bay Area medical facilities where terminally ill patients meet extraordinary medical practitioners who seek to change our approach to life and death.

Oscars success is nothing new for the streaming service: here are the best Netflix originals to have been nominated for Oscars in previous years - all available to watch now.

Icarus (2018)

Lance Armstrong’s doping confession turned the sports world upside-down, with fans of all sports wondering how common doping really is, especially among the top performers.

This Oscar-nominated Netflix Originals documentary set out to dig deep into the seedy yet booming world of sports doping and performance enhancing drugs.

However, when filmmaker Bryan Fogel has a chance encounter with a Russian scientist, it transforms this investigative documentary into a political thriller.

Thrown into a disturbing underworld, Fogel discovers first-hand just how prevalent doping is and how devastating its consequences can be.

Strong Island (2018)

A 2018 Oscar nominee for Best Documentary Feature, Strong Island is a compelling true crime drama investigation documentary.

In 1992 an unarmed young black man, William Ford, was murdered by a white mechanic in New York. The killer claimed self-defence and he walked away free.

Why did this happen? Was it just, was it a cover-up or plain racism? Ford's surviving family members, including the documentary’s filmmaker Yance Ford (his brother) give unprecedented access to his life and times, and what they really believe happened that ill-fated day.

This tragic yet extraordinary documentary seeks definitive answers.

What Happened, Miss Simone? (2016)

Nominated at the 2016 Academy Awards for Best Documentary Feature, What Happened, Miss Simone? takes viewers through a journey of the phenomenally talented yet deeply troubled jazz singer Nina Simone’s rise and fall.

A singer, pianist and civil rights activist, she was revered for being the ‘High Priestess of Soul’ but she struggled with bipolar disorder throughout her life. With exclusive footage of Nina Simone and unprecedented interview access to Nina’s daughter, family and former fellow performers, this movie serves as an honest yet profoundly moving tribute to the late jazz legend.

13th (2017)

Another Oscar-nominated Netflix documentary, filmmaker Ava DuVernay (director of the Oscar-nominated film Selma) explores the history of racial inequality in the United States.

Why are the majority of inmates in the country's prisons African-American, and what’s the social history behind it?

Ava aims to find out with the help of a team of historians, politicians and social activists. Arguing that it is the backlash of the 13th amendment – which outlawed slavery in the US - that has caused such racism and racial disparities, 13th makes for some undeniably thought-provoking viewing.

The Square (2014)

The Square was nominated for Best Documentary at the 2014 Oscars and chronicles three dramatic years in Egyptian history, from the protests in 2011 that saw the overthrow of military leader Hosni Mubarak to the ousting of his successor Mohammed Morsi in 2013.

Through the use of handheld cameras and social media updates, this film takes an intense and brutal look at the protests in Tahrir Square during the 'Arab Spring' of the early 2010s.
