Everything everywhere all at once is the top favorite at the upcoming Oscar ceremony with no fewer than eleven nominations. The Dutch youth film oink grabbed in the animation category in addition to a nomination. The southern neighbors do have reason to cheer: Close by Belgian filmmaker Lukas Dhont has a chance to be crowned best foreign film.

After the unexpected cult hit Everything everywhere all at oncepreviously voted best film of 2022 on this website, makes the Irish tragicomedy The Banshees of Inisherin with Colin Farrell nine times a chance to win a statuette.
The biggest surprise, however, is the popularity of the German war film Im Westen nichts neues (or All quiet on the Western front). No bookmaker predicted the impressive number of nine nominations. The Netflix production is not only the best competitor for Belgium as the best ‘international feature‘, he also competes for the main prize (‘best film’). Also the art house hit triangle of sadness, with the already legendary puke sequence on board a cruise ship, unexpectedly scored a nomination in the most important category.
