Despite 10 Nominations, Netflix's The Irishman Gets Shut Out At Oscars
Despite 10 Nominations, Netflix's The Irishman Gets Shut Out At Oscars-September 2024
Sep 22, 2024 10:26 PM

  There were a lot of winners at the Oscars, chief among them the Korean film Parasite, which became the first non-English language film to win Best Picture in the history of the ceremony, taking home three other awards in the process. But there was one high-profile project that didn't get any love from the Academy, among others: Martin Scorsese's The Irishman.

  Its star-studded cast and Scorsese's reputation as one of cinema's best living directors led many to lobby for it to win Best Picture, but in the end, the Netflix-produced three-plus hour crime epic didn't win any Oscars, despite its 10 nominations. That didn't stop Parasite director Bong Joon-ho from giving Scorsese a shout-out (along with fellow nominee Quentin Tarantino) in his victory speech for Best Director, however.

  Now Playing: The Irishman - Date Announcement Official Trailer | Martin Scorsese

  This is nothing new for Scorsese: he's been nominated for Best Director 9 times, winning only once, for The Departed, which also won Best Picture. As for The Irishman, it's in good company--Taxi Driver, arguably Scorsese's most-acclaimed film, didn't win any Oscars either. (Raging Bull did, though.)

  Over the last few years, critics have lambasted the Academy for not doing enough to celebrate women directors, pointing out that only one woman, Kathryn Bigelow, has won the Best Director award in the entire history of the Oscars. While there are plenty of women directors who could've made the cut this year, one name in particular stands out as particularly galling: Greta Gerwig. Her film Little Women was nominated for six different awards, including Best Picture.
