#SnowyVernalSpringsEternal 10,265 Posted March 26, 2019 Share Posted March 26, 2019 They should have a separate awards ceremony for streaming shows and movies, since it is after all a different outlet. Oscars, Emmy's and....Streamy's? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Koray Savas 2,251 Posted March 26, 2019 Share Posted March 26, 2019 Spielberg said he thinks Netflix is robbing people of the theatrical experience and therefore their movies should not be awarded with Oscars. He thinks new rules should be implemented requiring expansive theatrical distribution to qualify for a gold statue.

He thinks new rules should be implemented requiring expansive theatrical distribution to qualify for a gold statue. In other words: Streaming = not legitimate Sorry, but that's not what Spielberg said. He never went against streaming or Netflix per se. Here's exactly what he said one year ago (from 4:25) As you can see his thoughts are very specific and refer to a much larger context and the state of studio productions and the Hollywood industry in general, it's not like he has a personal agenda against Netflix or anything else (hey, his company even produced shows for Netflix such as Five Came Back and Haunting of Hill House). Yes, it's a strong opinion and of course it's debatable as every opinion, but this idea that Spielberg suddenly turned into an evil old fellow with an agenda against a specific studio (a company seen by many as the new church of quality entertainment) to protect a dying business model is frankly ridiculous. I wish people (especially people working in the industry) would honestly stop to make judgement based on assumption read on other people's Twitter feeds.
