Movies from streaming platforms like Netflix and Amazon Prime will still be eligible for Academy Awards, the film body's board says.
Movies from streaming platforms like Netflix and Amazon Prime will still be eligible for Academy Awards, the film body's board said Wednesday.
Motion pictures can appear on a streaming service on or after the day of their theatrical run and still be eligible for an award. "Our rules currently require theatrical exhibition, and also allow for a broad selection of films to be submitted for Oscars consideration. We plan to further study the profound changes occurring in our industry and continue discussions with our members about these issues."
While"Green Book" took the crown for that category, that didn't stop Hollywood legend Steven Spielberg from lashing out at Netflix's inclusion in the Oscars. The director reportedly wanted the academy to change the rules to shut Netflix out.
