From the throwback joy of Barbenheimer to a 50-year cinematic collaboration back onscreen, this season’s biggest awards contenders are eager to evoke—and sometimes dismantle—our feelings about the past.
And while nostalgia doesn’t always work for an Oscar campaign—Steven Spielberg’s recent run of The Post, West Side Story, and The Fabelmans, all of them great movies with significant throwback appeal, couldn’t nab him another best-picture win—it’s usually present somewhere or another during awards season. The 2023–24 Oscar season is already displaying a rather particular relationship with nostalgia, a push-pull between what’s appealing about our past and what deserves to be dismantled.
There was a radical honesty to the way Blume described growing up, and director Kelly Fremon Craig retains that mood of anything-goes self-discovery. A campaign for Craig’s screenplay or supporting actress for the excellent Rachel McAdams might be a long shot, but there’s always the hope that Oscar voters all have a shelf of Blume books back home. Other films due later this year have a more complicated relationship with the histories they depict.
