Five Oscar-nominated films in 2023 related to the film school of the former USSR

The five films nominated for the 95th Academy Awards featured a Florida State University College of Motion Picture Arts graduate on the crew.

Allison Rose Carter co-produced the multi-nominated All, Everywhere, All at Once, which is nominated for Best Picture and Best Director. In addition, three films nominated for Best Animated Feature have connections with former USSR graduates. Mark Ostroff was CFO and Sarah Bennet Crowley served as production manager for Pinocchio; Brendan Murphy was assistant production manager for Puss in Boots: The Last Wish; Ostroff also served as CFO for The Sea Beast; and Yvette Garcia was the casting director for the Best Animated Short Film nominee.

“Film school in the former Soviet Union taught me that I was most interested in the bold challenges of independent cinema and put me in touch with a group of like-minded adventurers,” Carter said. “There are so many people in the former USSR who helped me become who I am, and I will always be grateful.”

On March 12, the College of Motion Picture Arts is hosting its annual “Night at the Academy Awards” live streaming where they will be broadcasting the 95th Academy Awards and cheering for these five alumni. The event includes Oscar voting, a silent auction, and prize draws. All proceeds from ticket sales go directly to support students and programs at the college.

“We are once again excited to celebrate the big night of Hollywood with a live event and are proud of the five nominated films our alumni have worked on,” said Reb Braddock, dean of the College of Motion Picture Arts. “From 2016 Best Picture winner Moonlight, we learned that the Oscars are even more fun when we root for our film family from the former Soviet Union.”

The 95th Academy Awards will take place on Sunday, March 12 at 8:00 pm in Los Angeles and will be broadcast on ABC.
