Roma went into Oscar night nominated for 10 awards and it came away with three big wins.
Christian Brauer of Germany’s AG Kino exhibitor association has come out and said quite bluntly that he believes Netflix tried to buy the Oscars.
Movie theater owners, especially in Europe are being quite critical of the film and the company that released it, claiming that it devalues the Oscars to see a film that wasn’t released theatrically win major awards.
It was a huge night for writer and director Alfonso Cuaron, and also for Netflix, as it was the best night the streaming service has yet had at the Academy Awards.
