Unfortunately, Lin-Manuel Miranda’s stage show about founding father Alexander Hamilton will not be eligible to compete for Oscars at next year’s Academy Awards.
But, the Academy amended rules this year to allow movies that went straight to streaming to compete for Oscars.
Hamilton is one of the most decorated Broadway musicals in history and recently made its debut in movie form on Disney+.
While the Oscars are out of the question, Hamilton will still be eligible to compete for some prizes at the Emmys in the outstanding variety special category.
