It is easy to focus on a number of societal factors for the 2020 Academy Awards. No women were honoured in the Best Director category and acting categories were predominately white-washed – unfortunately, no surprise there. But what did come out of the recent Oscar nominations announcement was a positive nod to the overwhelming success of streaming services.

Announced today, the hotly-anticipated event of the year, the annual Oscars, revealed the actors and filmmakers up for a shot at the golden statue. While the likes of Disney/Fox and Sony Pictures were once again frontrunners, Netflix made history with 24 nominations and in turn revealed a new attitude and direction from the Academy on streaming services. Unsurprisingly, Martin Scorsese’s The Irishman nabbed 10 nominations closely followed by Marriage Story with six nominations, The Two Popes earned three while Klaus scored one nomination in the Best Animated Feature category.

Success for the streaming platform hasn’t come easy however. While Netflix hasn’t had focus on winning at the Box Office, the Academy has put rules in place which states that any film must be shown – even for a short time – in theatres, before hitting the service to be considered. This rule also includes being shown in Los Angeles County for seven consecutive days with three screenings a day, one being between 6pm and 10 pm.

Elsewhere, Joker was nominated 11 times, Once Upon A Time In Hollywood won 10 nominations followed by 1917. Scarlett Johansson nabbed two acting nominations for Marriage Story and Jojo Rabbit, while Best Picture nominations also went to Ford V Ferrari, Little Women and Parasite.
