Oscar Nominations 2024: 8 Ups & 9 Downs

3. SNUB: Society Of The Snow (Best Picture)

Netflix really should've given their recently released survival thriller Society of the Snow a much bigger awards push, because while it was ultimately nominated for Best International Feature and Best Makeup and Hairstyling, with more marketing weight behind it it could've fared much better.

In fact, Society of the Snow could've been a legitimate threat for a Best Picture nomination, especially given that it was more rapturously received by critics and general audiences alike than some of the ultimate nominees - especially Maestro.

There are only so many films any studio can splash their campaigning cash on, but Netflix should've nevertheless given more to promote one of the very best films of 2023, and one that absolutely should've broken through into Best Picture.
