Between EEAAO taking 7 and All Quiet taking 4, half of the BP nominees were left empty-handed. Tar, The Fabelmans, Banshees, Elvis and Triangle of Sadness all left with nothing.
Traditional Oscar bait isn’t hitting with the AMPAS like it used to.

Honestly, with Elvis, it’s really about the Actor loss that sent it home empty handed. The movie won Costumes at BAFTA without Wakanda being nominated there, so the latter prevailing at Oscars wasn’t that surprising (considering most people continued predicting it due to its undeniable nature), even with its guild loss to EEAAO; guild win doesn’t really cement you as winner or loser especially when not televised. So, that leaves Actor & Makeup which are basically joint, and they chose Fraser. In conclusion, I’m not sure whether they consciously denied it or it just happened.

P.S. it was never winning Cinematography, I don’t understand people predicting it like bfr All Quiet had vastly flashier cinematography.IDK about that , For example king richard won actor and it was oscar bait
Will Smith was running on a very strong overdue narrative, was one of the most beloved actors in Hollywood, had the backing of the Williams’ sisters and The Power Of The Dog was so weak by the time of the ceremony that it was just limping to the finish line, effectively ruling out a Cumberbatch groundswell.
ReplyCopy URLDarling, TÁR and Triangle of Sadness are the kind of small artsy/indie films that got nominated almost every year and left the ceremony empty handed. Few of them are being frontrunner in only one category, and had near to zero chances in other categories
See Field’s In The Bedroom (Spacek for best actress), A Serious Man, Winter’s Bone, The Kids Are All Right (Bening’s overdue Oscar), The Tree of Life, Beasts of the Southern Wild, Nebraska, Brooklyn, Lion, Lady Bird, Licorice Pizza (original screenplay), The Fabelmans (Spielberg’s third directing).
So far only CODA that actually won picture while still feels like a filler movie that got zero Oscars.
I accidentally deleted this post lol

You give the Academy way too much credit lol. They recognised one movie prominently featuring POCs which happened to be the one they liked the most. Elsewhere they nominated films featuring predominantly white actors while mostly overlooking those with more diverse casts. Those five movies you mentioned weren’t snubbed for being white; after all, they had no issue with giving All Quiet four awards.
Can’t imagine what it might be like being so obsessed with identity and race all the time. So tiresome.
