The winners of the 2022 Oscars only held one real surprise. It came in the unassuming shape of CODA, which fought off the combined might of Jane Campion's The Power Of The Dog and Spielberg's West Side Story to win Best Picture.
But one title was noticeable by its absence among the nominations, unusually uniting critics and audiences in sheer disbelief. Rebecca Hall’s directorial debut, Passing, had been tipped for several nods and was seen as a likely winner in at least one category. Yet it was shut out. But the much-snubbed film is ready and waiting for the appreciation it deserves on Netflix right now.
