Nah, there was plenty of passion for TPOTD because 12 nods in categories it was never predicted for (Production Design, Sound, Plemons were all huge surprises) plus it cleaned up everywhere until PGA ( just won everywhere, it was quite bizarre). CODA was packaged like "the little indie that could" lol, and that was an Apple film. The Irishman had far stiffer competition, but yes-I think making the over-campaigning both made everyone hyper-aware that each of them were NETFLIX films, and they got sick of them (especially in the extended season). I do 100% agree that Netflix's campaigns ended up being way too much for Roma & TPOTD. I love the film but I'll grant that it was not because it was so beloved that it stayed in tentpole position till the end: it was because aside from CODA coming out of the blue in the end, the "crowd pleasers" were.failing to please crowds. If the Oscars had taken place even 2-3 weeks earlier, there would have been zero precedent for TPOTD losing, but then PGA & SAG happened in quick succession & it looked like it actually could lose. Mmmm the closest they got was realistically The Power of the Dog which honestly had been sweeping so much that I think it lost largely because of the extended season. Now, I don’t see them finally scoring a Best Picture win with Maestro, let alone Bradley Cooper for Best Actor in a Leading Role, but hey, if all that awards push for Carey Mulligan right now leads her to winning an Oscar, that’ll be a much better outcome for Netflix than another complete shutout. Overspending can cause voters to get sick of your movie, and in the five times they had a legit chance at Best Picture, Netflix had this happen to them with Roma, The Irishman, and The Power of the Dog. The result? The Irishman was nominated at all four major guilds (PGA, DGA, WGA, and SAG) and lost all of them to 1917 (PGA & DGA), Jojo Rabbit (WGA Adapted Screenplay), and Parasite (SAG Best Ensemble), respectively. 1917, Parasite, or even Joker to an extent), then it was because Netflix spent way too much money on FYC campaigns trying so hard to get it to win.

If The Irishman didn’t lose because either the Academy still wasn’t ready to give Best Picture to a streaming movie or because there were stronger films that came out in 2019 (i.e. And I 100% believe the reason for that is the biggest elephant in the room that I often bring up in the subreddit when it comes to Netflix and awards season: Overspending. The fact that the movie everyone thought was Netflix’s to lose ended up being a shutout at both the BAFTAs and the Oscars should tell you how badly Netflix blew their Best Picture chances that year - it was absolutely embarrassing for them. No wins at all! Same thing happened at the BAFTAs just a few weeks prior. Just to add on to what you said about The Irishman, not only did De Niro miss Best Actor in a Leading role on Oscar night, but the movie itself was completely shut out entirely despite having the second-most nominations of any 2019 nominee (behind Joker, which led with 11).
