LOS ANGELES — The streaming business had a weaker turnout in Tuesday morning's Oscar nominations than it has in recent years, when the pandemic kept movie fans at home and technology companies were outspending traditional studios for the buzziest titles.
But Netflix's awards season got a major boost with a late surge from an unlikely contender — the little known, brutal German World War I epic, "All Quiet on the Western Front," which was the only streaming title to get a best picture nomination for the 95th Academy Awards.
"All Quiet on the Western Front" had nine nominations, including adapted screenplay and multiple technical categories, tying for second place with Searchlight Pictures' "The Banshees of Inisherin" and coming in behind A24's "Everything Everywhere All at Once."
