The winning film in 1930 was the World War I movie "All Quiet on the Western Front," produced by the small company Universal, and it made Ernst Lubitsch, the director of "The Story of the Palace," hate it again. This film has been regarded by Americans as a classic war film from its inception until today. It is worth mentioning that the next time Universal will win the Oscar is actually 43 years later, "Deception". It can only be said that Oscar is not a game played by Universal. Studios struggled to even make it to the nomination list early on, and despite Universal's rise to become Hollywood's most successful studio from the 1960s, they still struggled to escape the embarrassment of the Oscars.
