Spielberg dispute: This tells Netflix to his desired Oscar ban
Do films that are not produced for the big screen deserve a place at the Oscars? No, think ace-ace Steven Spielberg (72, "Ready Player One"). According to him, Netflix productions should no longer be accepted for the Academy Awards. A fact, the said streaming provider of course does not taste. And so the company now countered Spielberg's statements, but without naming him directly by name.
Netflix official Twitter account says, "We love cinema, here are some things we love too: access to people who can not always afford to go to the movies, or live in a city where there's none, let everyone around the globe enjoy the same launch date, giving the filmmakers more opportunities to share their art, these things are not mutually exclusive. "
Stone of the new impetus was the Netflix film "Roma" by Alfonso Cuarón (57), who was able to convert ten Oscar nominations into three awards at the end of February. In an interview with the US site "Indie Wire" Spielberg blatantly annoyed about this circumstance: "Once you have dedicated yourself to the TV format, it's just a TV movie and for them there is the Emmys." The Oscars are for movies . " He also complained that these films "run for a maximum of a week in the cinema to qualify for an Oscar nomination."
