An Oscar voter told us he refuses to pick Netflix movies for best picture and it shows one potential reason the streamer got 24 noms and only 2 wins
Netflix had 24 nominations at this year's Oscars, but only came away with two wins.
Last year, its chances rested on Alfonso Cuarón's semi-autobiographical, black-and-white movie "Roma," which was primarily in Spanish. The result was three wins for the movie , but no best picture. That went to Universal's "Green Book." So it could easily be that Netflix is doing everything right, it's just really hard to win a best-picture Oscar. Paramount hasn't won a best picture since 2007 with "No Country for Old Men." And that was a team-up with Miramax through its defunct Paramount Vantage indie division.
When the voter was asked if they set their criteria for voting based on if a title is from a streaming service or not, the person said they do.
