[A24](https://www.indiewire.com/t/a24/) and [Netflix](https://www.indiewire.com/t/netflix/), two studios that are barely a decade old, completely dominated at the [Oscars](https://www.indiewire.com/t/oscars/), [winning 15 out of the 24 categories](https://www.indiewire.com/2023/03/2023-oscars-winners-list-academy-awards-1234818133/). Even without a Best Picture nomination, “The Whale” still had a strong showing at the box office upon its December release. It is probably not a coincidence that the remaining major studios would have a hard time at the Oscars this year after 2022 was such a mess of mergers and acquisitions, leading to many film business professionals out of a job. To come so close this year with a film the company was not originally pushing shows that the company can truly be an Oscar powerhouse. While that had mostly been driven by nominees from major studios like “Avatar: The Way of Water” (Disney) and “Top Gun: Maverick” (Paramount), one can see A24’s “ [Everything Everywhere All at Once](https://www.indiewire.com/video/ke-huy-quan-stephanie-hsu-everything-everywhere-all-at-once-interview-1234798439/)” would take home the Oscar for [Best Picture](https://www.indiewire.com/2023/03/everything-everywhere-all-at-once-wins-oscar-best-picture-1234818201/), its win points to a surprising trend among the 2023 Academy Awards winners.

Here is a list of 2023 Oscar wins by film and by studio or distributor.

Netflix’s five Oscars also included the Animated Feature win for Guillermo del Toro’s Pinocchio. A24’s [The Whale](https://deadline.com/tag/the-whale/) was the night’s only other multiple winner, scoring Best Actor for Brendan Fraser and another for Makeup & Hairstyling. The massive haul for A24, including sweeping the top six categories, left little room for competitors, with only six other companies scoring victories tonight, and only two of them, Netflix and Disney, getting multiple Oscars at the ceremony at the Dolby Theatre in Hollywood.

The first film A24 produced and financed, together with Brad Pitt’s Plan B Entertainment, was “Moonlight,” which won the Oscar for best picture in 2017. This year, it’s on track to produce about 15 films for theatrical release, eight documentaries and 10 television shows. Midway through the global lockdown, it resumed movie making using its in-house production capabilities. “Their biggest achievement is that they’ve created a super-cool brand that has a following.” This year, A24 garnered 18 Academy Award nominations across six films, ranking second only to the giant Walt Disney Co. The studio has garnered 53 Oscar nominations in less than a decade, including best picture nods for “Lady Bird, “Minari” and “Room.”

The indie studio had a whopping 18 nominations from six films at the 95th Academy Awards; and won in nine categories, including seven for Everything Everywhere ...

For instance, the rubber hot dog fingers and googly eyes from Everything Everywhere All At Once were a huge rage.
