- margalabargala 1y agoThis includes movies "streamed or distributed" by Netflix. Like the parent mentioned, Netflix has streamed the Godfather. If you click through the movies on that list, you will find that almost none of them were actually produced by Netflix. Movies produced by Netflix are highly likely to be as described, with a small handful of exceptions.
- sunrunner 1y agoI mean when your company has enough money to essentially bankroll the creation of a greater-than-average number of productions and simply pay the individuals involved in the production of these films whatever it takes to get them on board, isn't it sort of inevitable that you end up featuring in the list of awards a greater-than-average number of times?
- themafia 1y agoSome of those are other networks shows that just happen to be distributed by Netflix. For example, Wallace & Gromit. This is not a useful set of data to draw conclusions from. Which is precisely the problem that Netflix has.
- ZiiS 1y agoYes, very damming considering their spend to not ever have won a best picture/actor/actress/screenplay.
- _0ffh 1y agoThe Academy Awards? Who the heck cares for those? The only thing they say is "the powers that be in Hollywood chose to highlight your product", but surely the information content regarding quality is as close to zero as it is possible to get.
- dexterdog 1y agoIn all of that time there are two best directors and two best supporting actress wins of the major Oscar categories. That is not much considering how much money they have dumped into movies. Netflix has always been quantity over quality.
- epolanski 1y agoBased on data (and Twitter) part is true of any studio since a decade, in any case Netflix has produced or co-produced a good bunch of movies. Also, some excellent documentaries.
- zo1 1y agoWe should coin a new term: "Straight to Netflix"
- mvdtnz 1y agoI don't know why you're being downvoted because you're absolutely right. I'd say for me Netflix movies have less than a 5% hit rate. They're an excellent place to start if you desire a suitably (and needlessly) racially and sexually diverse cast, the most bland cinematography and grading possible, and scripts explicitly designed for viewers who are paying more attention to their phones than the show[1].

- LtWorf 1y agoThat has been my experience as well. When I see that logo it's a bad omen on how the film is going to be.
