Army Of The Dead by Zack Snyder won an Oscar and it proves how Netflix believes in projects when others don&#039;t.

&#8216;Army of the Dead&#8217; Winning Oscar Will Always Remind WB of Their Zack Snyder Misstep and Eventful Loss

If you have been active on the internet for the past few years, you must know
what a sensation was the #ReleaseTheSnyderCut. The campaign run by fans to see
the original non-edited Zack Snyder cut of Justice League was a huge success.
But after Zack’s other film Army of the Dead won an Oscar too, it proved how
Netflix supports and believes in projects when others do not.


LEAVING ZACK SNYDER WAS WB’S BIGGEST MISTAKE

In one of the main revelations of the 2022 Oscars, two new non-award categories,
Oscars Fan Favorite and Oscars Cheer Moment, were developed. The winners are
selected by internet voting in a bid to entice younger, general audiences to
come into the program. Army of the Dead took up the prize for Fan Favorite at
the Academy Awards.

The climax Speed Force action of The Flash from Zack Snyder’s Justice League
also won the Oscars Cheer Moment vote. Army of the Dead’s victory emphasized
what Warner Bros. sacrificed by letting Snyder make the picture at Netflix. This
not only proves that Warner Bros. missed out on an opportunity to win an oscar.

But with Matthias Schweighöfer’s prequel film Army of Thieves,
[https://netflixjunkie.com/netflix-news-the-origin-of-army-of-thieves-and-its-connection-with-army-of-the-dead/] Army
of the Dead: Lost Vegas, an animated prequel series, is in the works, and Planet
of the Dead, a direct sequel also coming soon, it is obvious that WB lost out on
an opportunity to produce a really successful universe.

A BIG WIN FOR NETFLIX

Still, it was a big win for Netflix.

Not only did they win Oscars Fan favorites, Jane Campion
[https://netflixjunkie.com/tag/jane-campion], who directed Netflix’s The Power
of the Dog [https://netflixjunkie.com/tag/the-power-of-the-dog/] won Best
Director, even though Apple’s CODA won the Best Picture. All in all, the Oscars
showed that Netflix does support projects that others think will be not
successful.

All of Zack Snyder [https://netflixjunkie.com/tag/zack-snyder]‘s Zombie-Verse
