]]> Awards season entered its most exciting stage on Tuesday when the nominations for the Academy Awards have finally been unveiled. Everything Everywhere All at Once is leading the way with 11 nominations, followed by The Banshees of Inisherin and All Quiet on the Western Front with nine each.

All three movies are in the running for the best picture Oscar, and they’ll have to face tough competition in Avatar: The Way of Water, Elvis, The Fabelmans, Tár, Top Gun: Maverick, Triangle of Sadness, and Women Talking.

In addition to being nominated for best picture as the film’s producers, Daniel Kwan and Daniel Scheinert are also in the running for best director and best original screenplay. The film’s cast scored a whooping four nominations, thanks to Michelle Yeoh, Ke Huy Quan, Jamie Lee Curtis, and Stephanie Hsu.

The domination of Everything Everywhere All At Once was easy to predict, but some of the nominations took us by surprise. Andrea Riseborough (To Leslie) and Ana de Armas (Blonde) made it to the crowded best actress field, while Brian Tyree Henry received the best supporting actor nod for Causeway.

]]> In October 2015, Netflix began distributing original movies with war drama Beats of No Nation. Ever since, the there has been a big debate in the industry over whether Netflix movies deserve the same recognition as theatrically released films.

Netflix has won awards for films like Mudbound, which was only on the big screen for one week in New York and LA. Ava DuVernay’s 13th was not released in movie theaters but received a nomination for best documentary feature at the 2016 Academy Awards.

Leading director Steven Spielberg shared his views on the matter, opining that such movies do not deserve the same recognition, especially when it comes to the Oscars. He told ITV news:

“Once you commit to a television format, you’re a TV movie,” the iconic director commented. “You certainly, if it’s a good show, deserve an Emmy, but not an Oscar. I don’t believe films that are just given token qualifications in a couple of theaters for less than a week should qualify for the Academy Award nomination.”

Speilberg is not alone in these views. At the 2017 Cannes Film Festival, Netflix’s original feature Okja was met with boos from the audience. Afterwards, the Cannes Films Festival set a new rule that any films selected for competition must be distributed in theaters.
