Streaming its way to Oscar glory Netflix eyes the Best Picture win

Netflix has yet to claim the coveted Best Picture Oscar, but that does not mean it has not come tantalizingly close. This year alone, the streaming giant had secured an impressive 18 nominations across six titles at the Oscars, proving its undeniable presence on Hollywood’s biggest night. Leading the charge is Emilia Pérez

, not only the most nominated film of the year but also the most nominated non-English language film in Academy history and the one with the coveted Best Picture nomination. 

The lineup is joined by Pablo Larraín’s Maria

, Tyler Perry’s The Six Triple Eight

, animated feature Wallace & Gromit: Vengeance Most Fowl

, documentary short The Only Girl in the Orchestra

, and live-action short Anuja.

With Emilia Pérez

sweeping numerous awards and gaining unstoppable momentum,

 and Netflix’s titles getting nominated acting as bonus points, the streaming platform’s march toward the industry’s highest honor feels less like a question of ‘if’ and more like a matter of ‘when’.

Netflix’s Best Picture dreams may be a work in progress, but its trophy shelf is already gleaming with Oscar gold as it excels in other major categories. 

From performances to production: Netflix takes home multiple Oscar wins

Netflix may not have waltzed away with Best Picture just yet, but do not let that fool you, it has been making quite the scene at the Oscars. It all started with The White Helmets

, which nabbed Best Documentary (Short Subject) in 2017, followed by Icarus

taking home Best Documentary Feature in 2018. From there, the streaming powerhouse began collecting nominations like a magpie eyeing something shiny, proving that Hollywood’s golden gates were not entirely closed to newcomers.

The real showstoppers came later, The Power of the Dog

strutted in with 12 nominations in 2022, bagging Best Director for Jane Campion, while All Quiet on the Western Front

stormed the 2023 Oscars with four wins, including Best International Feature. The Best Picture Oscar may remain just out of reach, but Netflix has made itself impossible to ignore. And at this rate, one cannot help but suspect that Netflix winning the Best Picture is only a matter of time.
