After 5 long years of trying to bag an Oscar award

Netflix’s 5-Year Long Pursuit for the Fabled Oscar Will Continue at Oscars 2024, Here’s Why

In the world of cinematic achievements, there has been nothing quite like
bagging an Oscar award. While every filmmaker and studio would love for their
hard work to be honored with the award, it takes a little longer for some. That
has been the case for Netflix recently. Although the streamer has been nominated
time and time again, they have not managed to take home their prize.

Now, with them having Maestro in the running, fans are hoping that could change.
However, it seems rather unlikely as a handful of iconic films are also up for
consideration.


WHY NETFLIX WILL NOT BE BAGGING AN OSCAR

For the last 5 years, Netflix has been trying its hardest to land the Academy
Award for Best Picture. While the award has always been a tiny bit out of reach,
it looks like this year is no different. Although the film, Maestro, has
received 7 nominations, there is no doubt that Christopher Nolan’s Oppenheimer
will be heading home with that win. After all, the cast of the biographical
drama has been sweeping every award show

recently.



Bradley Cooper’s film might have captivated the music aficionados. However, it
has not been doing too well in the award circuit. While the movie may not be
getting the recognition that it deserved, it still ended up being one of the
actor’s best performances. After all, he not only changed his entire look for
the role of Leonard Bernstein, but he also practiced learning how to conduct an
orchestra for only 6 minutes of screen time.

Netflix might not have gotten lucky at the Oscars this time around. However, it
would not be the first time that the streamer was on the verge of success.


NETFLIX FILMS THAT ALMOST WON AN OSCAR

For nearly almost a decade now, Netflix has been pushing out more and more
content for its audience. While initially they had only been adding other movies
and shows to their library, they soon decided to try their hand at creating
their films. As with everything, their process has had some ups and downs.
However, the streaming giant managed to perfect their ideas for 2 films, The
Power of the Dog and Ma Rainey’s Black Bottom.

Both films made history for Netflix with nominations in various categories, such
as Best Actor, Best Picture, Best Supporting Actor, and more. However, only Jane
Campion, the director of the Benedict Cumberbatch film, ended up winning the
Best Director award in 2022.

After 5 long years of trying to bag an Oscar award, here is the reason why Netflix will miss out on the fabled award once again this year.

Prathika Prashant is a Hollywood and Music News writer at Netflix Junkie. She is an expert in everything Kanye West, from his outings to releases. These comprise a large chunk of her 600+ NJ articles. With extensive coverage of music entities like West and Taylor Swift, this journalism graduate is working her way towards bagging an interview with Nicki Minaj. When she is not covering Ye’s latest album drop updates, Prashant has her nose stuck in a murder mystery book or true crime documentaries.
