It’s been almost a week now since the 92nd Academy Awards ceremony was held, and one of the storylines that emerged from it is that Netflix was one of the awards show’s biggest losers. It entered the ceremony with 24 awards, the most of any single studio, but the streamer ended up walking away with only 2 awards. One, in the best supporting actress category for Laura Dern’s performance in Marriage Story, and another for best documentary feature, which went to American Factory. The latter was the first release from Higher Ground Productions, the production company led by Barack and Michelle Obama.
Netflix tends to garner the most attention for its seemingly endless library of TV content, but it’s easy to forget the streamer also has a stellar lineup of quality original movies that subscribers won’t find anywhere else. The service wants to increasingly be taken seriously as a kind of studio in its own right, and the Oscar attention helped draw subscribers to a number of Netflix films to stream over the past week.
