Netflix started out as a DVD rental-by-mail service, then expanded into digital streaming of movies & tv shows. Now they are funding major motion pictures, like Alfonso Cuarón's Roma, for which he just won the Best Director Oscar. A lot of the Hollywood studios aren't happy with this. They say Netflix movies aren't real movies like, say, Schindler's List, because, among other things, they aren't primarily meant to be released for cinema runs. news.avclub.com/steven-spielberg-is-gunning-to-make-sure-netflix-never-1833005033 |

I would say on the condition that they're also released in theaters. I don't like the transition, but it's difficult to argue with results. Movies are movies, but they risk marginalizing people who don't have Netflix. I do, but it's not even the point: if Netflix submitted movies aren't available in theaters for people without Netflix to see, they're meaningless to film goers.
So if they're given a wide release for the public to see, then yes.
If they're exclusive to Netflix, then no.
Also, the Oscars surprised me this year. I thought it would be more of a disaster without a host, and now I'm not sure they need one ever again. But it seemed like a lackluster year for film and it showed in the guests. A lot of Oscar regulars seemed conspicuously absent. I'm not bemoaning who was there at all, but it seems like Netflix is where the new money is so that's where celebs are flocking too. Lord help us if Leonardo Dicaprio gets on the Netflix Original gravy train.

Streaming services are at a point where they can produce films that rival traditional cinema in quality. In some cases, surpass them. I do get the sentiment behind the backlash, no one wants more competition. But I'm still disappointed to hear Spielberg fall into line. Considering he himself was the biggest beneficiary from the last paradigmatic shift in Hollywood. We're in a similar age right now whether film studios and business insiders like it or not.

Their shows are Emmy bait, but not their movies, which are Oscar nominatable.
I get why some folks don't like this, but personally, I love it.
Being able to see Roma at the touch of a button was way cool by me.

Some are pretty darn good, but it just depends on the movie, honestly.

The films need at least a marginal release theatrically, otherwise they are Emmy bait, not Oscar bait.

No! Why not just nominate made for TV movies too, because that is what they are. People need to stop glorififying Amazon and Netflix already. Their streaming service shows/movies are not that good.

Yes, I don't see why not as if a movie is good, it's good, regardless of who makes it.
but the Oscars are too much politics in general so I would not really care much at the end of the day.

Give it the limited release and requirement met, not that big a deal. Didn't they do that for Beasts Of No Nation? Can't recall but they should have if not.

Yeah. Roma is more of a movie than Spielberg has made in 14 years. He's being a godd*mn snob.
Frankly, I wouldn't mind TV movies being eligible for things, either, but that's another discussion.

OScars should be for theatrical released films. Not TV movies or Straight to video. Netflix is basically Straight to video. So the answer is no

No. They are Made for TV movies. Possibly great movies but the Academy Awards are for Theatrical Movies and Emmys are for TV.
It's like entering a great watercolor painting in a show intended for oils.
And showing a movie made as a theatrical release for a couple of weeks or in limited number of theaters so that you "qualify" for that year's awards is not right either.

BATouttaheck vegalyra darkpastWhere is it written that eligibility for an Emmy award makes a movie absolutely ineligible for an Academy award, and vice versa? It's the Academy of Motion Picture Arts & Sciences. If the production is a motion picture, it should be eligible for consideration.
