Netflix Oscars Cinema Rule Battle

According to Reuters.com, "The Academy of Motion Picture Arts and Sciences has voted not to change its rules for winning an Oscar, Hollywood’s top prize." This will continue to be a challenge for streaming services. The existing rule says a movie has to run in a theater for at least seven days in Los Angeles to qualify. Academy President John Bailey said, “We support the theatrical experience as integral to the art of motion pictures, and this weighed heavily in our discussions."
