Steven Spielberg says Netflix movies don't deserve Oscars
- 6 years ago
Steven Spielberg doesn't think Netflix movies deserve an Academy Award.
The 71-year-old four-time Academy Award winner has argued that the film and TV streaming site should not be able to win any of the coveted golden statuettes as he believes it has committed to a "television format".
He told ITV News: "Once you commit to a television format, you're a TV movie.”
Spielberg isn't the only filmmaker to slam the streaming site after 'Inception' helmer Christopher Nolan criticized Netflix for not releasing its own movies in cinemas.
And Nolan believes Netflix is used as a kind of way to shut down cinemas.
