Commentary: The Oscar nominations blend the future (Netflix) and the past (historical subjects)
and even in the awards themselves, the Academy of Motion Picture Arts and Sciences is inevitably and irrevocably a Janus-headed organization, looking simultaneously, as did the Roman god, to the future and the past.
These 24 include more or less expected tallies like 10 for “The Irishman” and six for “Marriage Story” but extended to farther afield items like a trio for “The Two Popes” and a documentary nod for “American Factory.”More than that, there were categories that Netflix absolutely dominated, for example having three of the five supporting actor nominees and getting two of the five nods for feature animation .
Yet one of the great ironies of today’s pro-Netflix nominations pointing toward the future is that when you look past that to film subject matter, the focus could not be more resolutely on the past. It’s almost as if the voters had a nostalgic urge to pay tribute to a world they know is ending. The most poignant of the nominated films from this shout-out-to-the-past point of view are two that hark back specifically to movies that came before.
