Last year ‘Roma’ caused a stir, but this year Netflix was a bit ignored.
Of course, it was not going to be easy because the cinematographic proposal of this edition was varied and very good.
But could not even the charisma of Robert de Niro, Al Pacino or the intense play of times and nostalgia that Scorcese told, to be taken into account by the members who voted in the categories.
To this is added that Netflix also put in strong categories to ‘The two Popes’ and ‘Story of a marriage’, the latter was in charge of giving them some comfort by staying with the golden statuette Laura Dern, in the category of best actress of distribution.

The Irish, one of the most interesting and solid films in the universe of director Martin Scorsese did not have at the Oscar gala (on the night of February 9) he did not get any recognition from the Academy.
A prize sung and almost indestronable in predictions.
the Irish he had ten nominations: best film, best director, best supporting actor (Al Pacino and Joe Pesci), best adapted screenplay, best photography, best edition, best production design, best costume design and best visual effects, but it didn’t fit none.
He also won the best documentary award with ‘American Factory ’, which was a surprise for many in a section where there were themes with a very emotional and emotional element.
‘American Factory ‘tells the cultural conflicts that are experienced in a factory located in Dayton, Ohio which is recovered by a Chinese billionaire, but the work model clashes in many ways with the style that the Americans used in that workspace.

This work had already won the prize in the same category at the Sundance Festival. This year Netflix had many nominations (24) above 22 at Disney, for example. What happened?.
First, as said before, the level was high and the competition promised to be more at odds. Second, for the lovers of conspiracies, the Academy may have decided to slow down the rise of the digital platform a bit, opening the panorama in its voting to films designed for the big screen.
It was also strange to many that ‘Toy Story 4’, a successful and emotional saga that was eclipsed in other festivals by films such as ‘Mr. Link’ or ‘Klaus’ (also from Netflix), will keep the prize for best animated film .

The sensation could be defined as bittersweet, because he participated in the film party among the nominees for grand prizes, but there was no shine at other times.
