The eagerly awaited nominations for this year’s Oscars were announced in Los Angeles. The German film “Nothing New in the West” can hope in several categories.
The German contribution “Nothing New in the West” by director Edward Berger is in the top category “Best Film” for the Oscar nominated. This was announced by the Los Angeles Film Academy on Tuesday. Along with the anti-war drama are nine other films in the most important category, including “Avatar: The Way of Water”, “Everything Everywhere All at Once” and “The Fabelmans”.
“Nothing New in the West” based on the book by Erich Maria Remarque from 1929 shows the horror of the First World War from the perspective of a young soldier. Austrian Felix Kammerer plays the leading role.
The plant has a chance of winning a golden boy in eight other categories. These include “Best Foreign Language Film”, “Best Adapted Screenplay” and “Best Film Music”. The German composer and pianist Volker Bertelmann, known by the stage name Hauschka, was nominated for an Oscar in 2017 together with his US colleague Dustin O’Halloran for the soundtrack to the film “Lion”. At the award ceremony, however, they went away empty-handed.

Austin Butler, Colin Farrell, Brendan Fraser, Paul Mescal and Bill Nighy can hope for an Oscar for best actor. Cate Blanchett, Ana de Armas, Andrea Riseborough, Michelle Williams and Michelle Yeoh are up for Best Actress.
