I just really appreciated how this year, the animation category didn't start with the presenters treating animation as "kiddy stuff".

That was a good surprise, and hopefully, this continues every year, along with more animated films being nominated in the other categories.

Really happy that RRR won best song. There are so many Indian movies that have such great music, and the fact that they are finally getting recognized is amazing. The Academy rubbed me the wrong way when they didn't let India nominate Sardhar Udham, the movie about freedom fighters and Indian revolution (they said it glorified terrorism, which is just so stupid), but it looks like they are changing for the better!

[@MutantMonke]

The last indian submission nominated for best foreign film, was an anti colonial masala film about cricket. RRR is also an anti colonial masala film. I think they didn't nominate sardar udham was because it wasn't made to be entertaining like lagaan and rrr and provided a way more harsh and realistic portrayal of colonialism.

It is an amazing movie, and shows the darker side of the revolution as opposed to ht lighthearted tone of RRR.

[@sneakylasagna6516]

I thought All Quiet on the Western Front's strongest asset was its score. It wasn't triumphant, or loud, or really all that noticeable, I recommend anyone to rewatch that movie, but when it kicks in let the music take you through your feelings. It't used infrequently but, I thought that the scarcity of the haunting tones were what made it special, always I got chills hearing it. (this was kind of like certain parts of puss and boots, no spoilers, if you know you know) Additionally the first scene was so interesting and made great use of that disturbing score. At the very least I think it deserved to have won based on how unique it was to me.

[@jokybones]

i think people dont get why the score is so strong.

[@bluejam7634]

[@DuckDodgers6520]

Exactly, I have to disagree with Schaffrillas here, I thought the score was straight up depressing and more importantly haunting. I thought the movie accomplished exactly what it set out to do and I was not bored at any point either. Incredibly disturbing and depressing film, definitely recommend it as a watch. I think its more mature than most other war movies, not because of its violence or anything, but because of its position on war.

All Quiet on the Western Front was amazing. I've rarely felt such dread and hopelesness from watching a movie before. There was no heroic sacrifice or the hero saving the day. It just showed how pointless war is and that soldiers are victims of it too. It really felt like a true anti-war movie.

[@Jesse-yo7uw]

Yeah. I really feel like James just didn’t get the movie at all and was expecting it to be something different going on. Especially seeing how he ranked 1917 over it. 1917 is great, don’t get me wrong, but definitely a way more generic and typical “war hero saves the day” movie than All Quiet was.

I agree with Shaff on a lot of things, but I honestly think that him saying All Quiet was an "average war movie" is such a (metaphorical) bullet to the chest. All Quiet was honestly such a great movie and leveling it to an average war movie hurts. And while the score (besides Remains) wasn't as memorable as some other nominations, I absolutely think that the cinematography was amazing. There were several points in this movie where I just marveled at the camera work and the shot comps. Plus, that introduction scene with the soldier dying and his clothes being recycled perfectly set the tone and was already making me prepare for the incoming doom that was about to happen. The lead actor also did a phenomenal job, the crater scene really stands out- everytime he cries, it feels like genuine tears. They're gross, uncontrolled not pretty to hear- it was almost gut-punching. I could go on but the point is, I respect anyone's point on this movie, it is surely not for everyone. But to anybody calling it an average war movie, it really is so much more than it may seem and the team behind it are talented at their craft. I also highly recommend the BTS for the movie on Netflix, it's great.

[@mariap1749]

the cultural impact of the source material also adds to my respect for this movie, i think this movie and the original movie do the book justice

[@scotginger4690]

The 1930 All Quiet is my favourite movie ever, but when I heard there was a new one being made by *Netflix* of all people? Let's just say I wasn't optimistic. But that crater scene? My God. I haven't felt that level of emotion since the 1930 movie. All Quiet is truly great in all adaptations and I'm glad it stayed that way with this one.

It just hurts so much to think how Olivia is actually gone, and seeing Travolta say “We are forever Hopelessly devoted to you” almost brought me to tears. It made me feel ever more indebted to the character of Danny Zuko and the show of Grease, it made me feel even more devoted to that friend who took the roll with me, to my Sandy Counterpart.

It was really obvious that John Travolta was upset because of Olivia Newton-John's death, and his speech made me tear up a bit. And the actual section was really good, a HUGE improvement over last year's. Oh, additionally, when the woman who won Best Costuming color-coordinated her speech cards to match her dress. That is some queen behavior.

Personally I love all quiet on the western front winning so many Oscars. It's not Just a Standard war movie, it showed the german perspective and despite it being called "all quiet" the score is frankly amazing its perfectly haunting and yet uplifting in some other moments. I think it Got the nomination simply because of the first track "remains" those 3 notes that constantlu return are simply amazing. But there, I resty case. I think AQOTWF more then deserved those nominations and wins

Totally agree with you. I thought it was well acted, well scored, beautifully shot, and very well written. I actually think it does anti war far better than 1917. One of the few times I disagree with Schaff.

Also its called "all quiet" as its kinda a delusion. The war was not quiet, and the book ends with the "all quiet on the western front" note after the main character literally dies, indicating that it was NOT all quiet, but to the brass up top, they did not care. I think Schaffrilla's arguments here seem really petty and as if he didn't really watch the film.

The Little Mermaid thing was funny for me. My boyfriend's mom was watching the show when it was airing. When the Little Mermaid bit came on, I made an off-handed comment along the lines of "It's gonna be bad, because they're all bad." But then she was like "How do you know, the actors all seem happy with how it all went," because she thought the movie was already released. (she's smart enough to stay out of Disney train wreck news, unlike myself.) I had to explain "No, the film isn't actually out yet, they put an ad in the middle of the show." She was not very amused by Disney doing that. "It's very cheeky of them to do that," she said. That lead into a fun conversation where my boyfriend and I told her all about how Disney is imploding, how specifically they got to this point, and how they're becoming very desperate. Also very happy Pinocchio won. On top of really loving that movie, I hope that means Del Toro's At the Mountain of Madness movie gets greenlit.

All quiet on the western front was amazing

[@aj_killjoy]

A requiem for “All Quiet on the Western Front”: I thoroughly enjoyed the movie. This is the first truly anti-war movie and, even if it is the remake of a remake of a book, the execution and cinematography sent it over the top. For me, this is one of the greatest war movies of all time, and most certainly the greatest WW1 film of all time. I have a lot of heritage in WW1 so I set a lot of my creative writing stories there and I’m glad to see Hollywood filmmakers showcasing the freedom of writing stories in that time period. You can’t write WW2 from the Nazi’s perspective without some hero against the regime, and you can’t write an American Civil War movie from the Confederate’s perspective without someone fighting who’s antislavery. WW1 truly shows the psychology of soldiers on both sides in a way you can’t truly do with other conflicts. As a war movie enjoyer, All Quiet on the Western Front deserves all of its awards this year (Except for the score.) Bassett got robbed too.

[@matteoziegler7632]

Yeah I agree. While 1917 is very good the final 30 minutes dragged it down for me a bit. Turning the protagonist into some kinda selfless hero who "feeds the kids and safes the day" felt like a cop out. The way WW1 was tought to me in school it was always described as a horrible waste of people and ressources in the name of "justice" and I think movies that focus on the war aspect of the time period should reflect that.

[@miraimikachu4429]

"Why do they still have the best International Feature Film category?" Well, because for the longest time, the Oscars only included American films in the big, important categories and completely ignored the work of creative minds outside their borders. And that the winner of this category is also nominated for Best Pictures is a relatively new phenomenon, because for many years it was simply unthinkable. Maybe it is an excuse from the Academy to look more diverse in their big categories. And to save the reputation of "All quiet on the western front": I think many people struggle with this movie because they do not know or realize that these were real things that happened, that the author Remarque wrote down after he returned home from this ongoing, pointless fight. Because the fighs on the Western Front were maybe one of the deadliest fights in World War 1, and it benefitted nobody. The original titel "Im Westen nichts Neues" directly translates into "No news from the Western Front", which is one of the last sentences in the book, even though the protagonist had just died. Soldiers weren't important anymore, death was normal. I can really recommend this book if you are interested in WW1 stories. It was brilliant, I read through it in a night for my German class, it broke me, I never want to read it again.

[@thefilmseeker]

"Save the reputation" as if the comments aren't flooded with rabid defense for that movie lol

[@annelooney1090]

The ending ties into one of my problems with the All Quiet movie: so the original title "nothing new on the western front" is because Paul dies on a day that is relatively uneventful for WW1. There's just nothing special about the day he dies and that's part of what's so pointless and tragic about it. Conversely, the movie makes him die at the very last second, on the day of the armistice. Like Armistice Day is not a day where there's nothing new to report lol. I feel like that's sort of a microcosm of the issue. The whole movie was just unnecessarily bombastic IMO.

That being said I understand why you wouldn’t like it, because, while I haven’t finished the 2022 version, I doubt it’s better than the book or the 1930 movie.

All in all, like you said, a surprisingly good Oscar's. And to anyone who is interested in documental-like movies, that talk about a dark period in a country's history, I hugely recommend Argentina 1985.

Jamie Lee Curtis may not have been this year’s Best Supporting Actress, that honor goes to Stephanie Hsu no doubt about it, but she’s earned that award over the course of many years. The recognition was long overdue.

[@serenaso4669]

Absolutely. It was almost like what happened when Di Caprio won best Actor: The Remenant was far from his best performance, but everyone was happy because that award for him was long overdue

[@margarethmichelina5146]

I don't think she should've won either because Stephanie Tsu steals every scene in the movie either as Joy or Jobu Topaki and it should be Angela Bassett either because she's carrying Wakanda Forever on her back playing as a grieving mother who lost her family (except her daughter, Shuri who becomes the last survivor of Wakanda Royal Family) and her grieving is way more make sense than Wanda in Multiverse of Madness.

[@pascalg16]

Just give her an honorary award then.

[@redtexan7053]

@@margarethmichelina5146 I am seeing a lot of people coming to bat for Angela Bassett, but the fact remains that no one ever will/should win an award for a Marvel movie.

[@MundoJuanci]

I'm so happy Pinocchio won, it's gonna be a huge boost for the stop motion medium that so badly needed. Puss in Boots 2 would've been a great winner as well, sure, but not as impactful i'd say. It'd be another win for DreamWorks, but also just another CGI winner. Pinocchio winning is much more meaningful and it's sending the message of "there's value in this medium". And someone like Guillermo carrying that message is very important.

[@serenaso4669]

Despite Puss in Boots 2 being objectively one of the best movies of all time, i was not surprised (but also glad) that Pinocchio won instead. Sure a step in the right direction, but we have a long way to go before hollywood goes back to respect animation. Outside of that ugly Sea Beast being nominated instead of stuff like My Father's Dragon, no animated movie was featured in other categories despite being more then deserving: tell me with a serious face that Puss did'nt deserve a nomination in screenplay and Pinocchio in direction, at LEAST

[@margarethmichelina5146]

Honestly, ain't nobody have a chance to defeat Guillermo Del Toro. Dude is basically The Oscar's Golden Boy because The Oscar always like him. Remember he won the Oscar at 2018 by making Fish Banging movie.

[@edwardfalcus4417]

are you totally forgetting marcel

[@MundoJuanci]

@@edwardfalcus4417 I'm not! I loved Marcel the Shell with Shoes On and would've also been a worthy winner, as well to push forward the medium of stop motion Thing is that the Oscars may reward Independent cinema, but not independent animated films, so it didn't have much of a chance other than being the runner up Still, I'm glad it got it's spotlight in the Annie Awards

[@MundoJuanci]

@@serenaso4669 As someone who loved My Father's Dragon and would've loved to see it nominated, I still think The Sea Beast was an extraordinary film. All the 5 movies nominated were amazing, a rare thing in this category (there's usually one or two that are mediocre or bad)

[@baconkattid1944]

I agree with everything except all quiet on the western front. It’s probably because I have an emotional attachment to that movie as I watched the 70’s version sophomore year of high school, but I still think it’s a top tier war movie

[@jamesm2078]

I’m so happy that Ke Huy Quan and Brendan Fraser made massive comebacks, Everything Everywhere All at Once got awards that were well-deserved, Harrison Ford and Ke Huy Quan had a little Indiana Jones reunion, Jimmy Kimmel wasn’t totally awful compared to his other times hosting, and overall, this Academy Awards was actually mostly enjoyable.

I liked All Quiet on the Western Front. It's a pretty good movie. Problem is you do have to understand the tragedy of WWI to experience the full impact of it. It's great when it comes to giving you an experience of the war from the German side. It shows you the desperation for the German men to get supplies. It shows how the men went into the war imagining it as a fun trip, which is how so many soldiers actually went into it. It displays how not even the main character is immune to death (although he does have some plot armor during the French armored assault). Overall it perfectly displays the tragedy of the war. Schaff of course has a different opinion but I think it was good. It did not deserve Best Original Score though.

[@kbeanu2039]

The directors of EEAO edited it themselves with team of 9. None of them professionally studied editing, they all did it by KZbin and tutorials. So, it's a well deserved win IMO.

[@connorsturgeon8863]

i was at a rehearsal dinner for my friend's wedding during the oscars, but the oscars were playing on the tv in the background. every once in a while someone would tune in to what was going on, but naturally we didnt pay a whole lot of attention to the screen. but whe ke huy quan one an oscar, everyone stopped what they were doing to listen to his speech. it was a really cool moment to see a room of 20 to 30 people all celebrate the success of one actor whose character and integrity really strands out

[@amberschmoyer6076]

Just want to say the boy the mole the fox and the horse was so incredibly deserving of best animated short. I HIGHLY RECOMMEND IT TO EVERYONE. When I was going through a really rough patch I watched that film and I cried. Not only is every frame a beautiful masterpiece, and does so much justice to the book, but it also contains such a powerful message about kindness and compassion for one’s self that brings anyone to tears. I bought the hardcover version of the book for my 20th birthday and the artistry is simply phenomenal

[@solaranimations9062]

Can 100% vouch. I got to watch it with my mum in the cinemas as it was showing with all the other oscar animated short nominees, and we absolutely loved it. My Mum just quite literally said, “I feel like I just got years worth of therapy in one short movie” and I couldn’t’ve agreed more. I was so happy to hear that it won.

I disagree with what you said about "All Quiet on The Western Front". It was probably one of my favorite movies of the year. I loved the score in relation with the scenes they were in. It helped completed the scenes and I still love to listen to the track. But then again I'm just a sucker for war movies and books. Ke Huy Quan getting recognition made me very happy. He is probably one of my favorite actors. Like C'mon his performance in the Goonies and Indiana Jones is unforgettable.

[@namelesscreature8843]

As a South Indian, hearing Schaffrillas talk about Nattu Nattu is something I never thought would happen, but I’m glad it did.

Seeing Ke Huy Quan look directly into the camera and say "to everyone out there, please keep your dreams your dreams alive! I almost gave up on mine!" was so powerful and inspiring. I love it when actors look into the camera and speak to all the viewers in the world
