At the BAFTAs, Gandhi was the most-nominated film, with 16 nods, followed by All Quiet On The Western Front and Atonement, which both had 14. Everything Everywhere All At Once received the most Oscar nominations this year, at 11, while All Quiet On The Western Front and The Banshees of Inisherin each received nine. The Banshees of Inisherin won three trophies at January’s Golden Globes ceremony, the most awards, followed by The Fabelmans and Everything Everywhere All At Once, which both won two.

this means the world to me." It's a German movie, for Christ's sake!" While four-time BAFTA winner Blanchett called 2022 an "extraordinary year for women" in her best actress acceptance speech, just one woman - Gina Prince-Bythewood, who directed The Woman King - made the best director category, and she missed out on the prize - which went to Berger for All Quiet On The Western Front. Here's what happened on the night. Becoming emotional towards the end of her speech, she paid tribute to her family - listing her mother and four children - who she said had to put up with her absence for long periods of time while she was working on the movie. All Quiet On The Western Front has made history, scoring the highest number of BAFTAs for a foreign language film with seven awards - including the night's big prize for best film.

Will All Quiet on the Western Front’s surprise win be repeated at the Oscars? The shock here isn’t because All Quiet on the Western Front is undeserving – it’s been praised from all corners, and the reviews have been almost universally positive – but because it essentially throws out the window all the typical rules about how these awards work. The German-produced take on Erich Maria Remarque’s piercing, anti-war novel – in which innocent patriotism goes curdled and cold in the trenches of the First World War – first dropped on [Netflix](/topic/netflix) without much fanfare, back in October.

“It’s a German novel in the German language and it should be told by a group of German filmmakers in our language”. As a German, Berger says his “expertise” in the subject matter is the main reason he decided to remake the movie. “Whenever you try something a little bit different than the norm, they get worried.” When I mention this possibility to Kammerer, a lurking Netflix publicist hastily reminds me that the service hasn’t been completely unsuccessful with Oscar so far: Roma won in three categories, including Best Director for Alfonso Cuarón. “Germany, unfortunately, does have a background of starting two World Wars,” he says. “It’s the same mud, the same trenches… “It doesn’t make any sense to make this movie in English,” Berger says. In Kammerer’s spreadsheet, every moment in the film is divided into one of three categories, each tied to a singular emotion: “Fear of Death”, “Will to Kill”, “Pulse”. The $20m (£16.6m) budget makes it one of the biggest movies to ever come out of Germany. “It’s a job you have to do and that’s the way Felix comports himself.” The propaganda-driven illusion of an imminent German victory implodes almost instantly, and Paul is faced with the untold horrors of trench warfare.

[the country's critics have slated the film](https://www.theguardian.com/film/2023/jan/27/oscar-all-quiet-on-the-western-front-germany-critics), and one key theme of their damning reviews is that Berger has a severe case of "Oscar-Geilheit" or "lust for an Oscar".

The director didn't even make a legitimate adaptation of the novel, argues Hubert Wetzel [in Süddeutsche Zeitung](https://www.sueddeutsche.de/kultur/im-westen-nichts-neues-netflix-roman-1.5683370). It might be German, but in many respects, it is the most obvious best picture nominee of the lot. There was a time, in the 1990s and 2000s, when everyone knew what an "Oscar movie" was.

[Top Gun: Maverick](https://www.bbc.com/culture/article/20220512-top-gun-maverick-hits-its-target-with-explosive-force) was a commercial and critical smash, so that was always a shoo-in, too. And they watched a film whose scenes of death, destruction and misery resonated with reports from the invasion of Ukraine. As well as funding All Quiet on the Western Front, Netflix has done an exemplary job of promoting it, ensuring that it is hard to log on to the platform without being reminded of its existence. But the new rule has led to more unusual films appearing in the best picture line-up – and more films that aren't in English, too. The film is adapted from a first-person, present-tense account of a German soldier's dehumanising ordeal in the trenches.
