Steven does not want Netflix

Steven Speilberg is behind moves that will see films from streaming giant Netflix banned from the Oscars unless they change their release patterns Currently NetFlix films have a theatrical release in a small number of cinemas that allow them to pass Oscar rules and then in a short time go on streaming. Speilberg wants the rules tighter up so that films play in longer release window in cinemas before a substantial gap before they go on to streaming. One of the first films that may be affected is by one of Speilberg;s close friends Martin Scorsese. The Irishman stars Scorsese's long time creative partner Robert de Niro and that other modern crime movie icon Al Pacino. Scorsese for his part wants Netflix to change their usual release schedule, What happens next will have many interested eyes.
