Ggreat films and excellent performances. The 2024 Oscars – the first in a long time with films that people actually saw it and liked it – they had all the characteristics to fascinate. However, they were also Oscars with highly expected wins. And so it was. Except for Best Actress (Lily Gladstone beaten by Emma Stone, visibly surprised) and the one for Best Screenplay (which went to Cord Jefferson for American Fiction – available on Prime Video – instead of a Barbieonly one statuette for Billie Eilish).
All things considered, a haul equal to that of the BAFTAs. In which Poor creatures! won more Oscars than expected (4, including costume design, production design and hair and makeup) and Oppenheimer it settled at 7 out of 13 (not bad). Martin Scorsese at zero, Killers of the Flower Moon it becomes his third film to lose out at the Oscars (the others were Gangs of New York And The Irishman). While The area of interest it won Sound and Best International Filmthis last category is the only Italian hope entrusted to Garrone.
And instead nothing. All that remains is the embarrassment of cheering for yesterday afternoon’s Italian film by Massimo Ceccarini and Sabrina Ferilli. One guest of Francesca Faldini on Rai 1, the other on Instagram, they underlined how the film about the Jews and the Holocaust would have won because of the theme (“you know”).
Overlooking the fact that the important issue of immigrants – that of Captain – has an equally cumbersome victim weight, Glazer, the director of Area, was the only one invited to draw a parallel between his film and the situation in Gaza, the walls, the bombs. Which is quite natural. How to recognize that the film about Auschwitz has a radical nature that is quite irreducible to a challenge between flags.
