This was a year in which they didn't try much in terms of change; in fact, the goal seemed to be the most normal Oscars possible. At the same time, it was a reminder that while only a few years ago, Netflix was trying to wedge itself into the Oscars, it's now established a home there. It was perhaps the most utterly traditional choice they could have made in every way except for the fact that it's a film that's not in English. The film perhaps sneaked up on people, but as Oscar night wore on and it started to rake in prizes, including for score, cinematography, production design and international feature, the fondness that Academy voters still have for epic war sequences became perfectly clear. Some montages, a nice In Memoriam segment, an okay monologue, solid musical performances from Lady Gaga and Rihanna among others, and a return to theater seating after last year's cocktail tables and the train station set the year before. Perhaps it's fitting that Avatar won for visual effects and Top Gun: Maverick for sound — the spectacles won awards that relate, in part, to their status as such. That theory might turn out to be right or it might be wrong, but if this year didn't do it, then nominating big movies isn't a solution to the ratings problem as has so often been speculated. [Ke Huy Quan](https://www.npr.org/2023/03/12/1160156811/ke-huy-quan-best-supporting-actor-oscar-everything-everywhere-all-at-once) once found himself shut out of Hollywood after a big start as a child actor in movies like Indiana Jones and the Temple of Doom and The Goonies. The awards for supporting actor and supporting actress went to two very, very different "newcomers." But it's also part of the Academy's effort to revive interest in the ceremony after years of hearing the theory that the ratings were dropping because blockbusters weren't being nominated. For a stretch in the middle of the ceremony, it seemed like All Quiet On The Western Front might be coming on very strong, but the pendulum swung back. What's perhaps most surprising is how many films that once seemed like strong contenders for major awards wound up getting completely shut out: Tár, The Banshees of Inisherin, The Fabelmans and Elvis all went home empty-handed.

A combination of old fashioned star power and zeitgeisty marketing captured Oscar voters (and audiences) across the board.

By the autumn, it was clear the film had a real shot at the gongs, and A24 set about securing them. Such strategies encouraged the idea of a grassroots push for an underdog. But Tuesday was the last day of voting, and in a tight race, every little helps. It looks like a film from the future and relies for its pull on the past. Yeoh joined in too, and last Tuesday screenshotted an article on her personal account explicitly comparing the career prospects for herself and fellow nominee Cate Blanchett, should each of them prove triumphant. [declaring](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=rrDekTrJ13o) “Everything has led to this” - the campaign leant heavily on the zeitgeisty lingo which also defines its aesthetic. Gradually the film’s clout snowballed along with its box office, as more and more critics - as well as industry insiders - declared their love. It was almost everything, almost everywhere, over the course of almost four hours. “I cannot imagine a better audience and crowd for this movie,” said c0-director Daniel Kwan as they took to the stage to present it. Word of mouth began strongly from a crowd at fever-pitch excitement, on the opening night of their first in-person festival in years.
