It\u2019s become a yearly ritual. Every awards season, we pundits say with pompous certainty that Netflix will finally grab the Iron Throne of the Oscars away from those tired old Baratheons: the big film studios.\u00a0And, without fail, we get it wrong every single time.<\/p>\n

The streaming giant was heavily favored to pull it off in 2019 with Alfonso Cuar\u00f3n\u2019s \u201cRoma.\u201d Whoops \u2014 \u201cGreen Book\u201d won Best Picture. And then in 2020, Netflix had two top nominees with \u201cMarriage Story\u201d and Martin Scorsese\u2019s \u201cThe Irishman.\u201d Womp womp \u2014 \u201cParasite\u201d emerged victorious. \u201cThe Irishman,\u201d by the way, won none of the 10 awards it was nominated for. And Netflix led the field that year, too, with 24 nominations.<\/p>\n

But 2021, featuring an impressively diverse field of nominees, has got to be the tipping point, right? For the past 12 months, many theaters around the country \u2014 and around the world \u2014 have been shuttered due to the coronavirus pandemic, and audiences have turned to streaming in desperation. Netflix helped get us get through a hard year at home, and the 2021 Oscars will surely celebrate that achievement.\u00a0<\/p>\n

Yeah, right. Even with 35 nominations \u2014 the most of any distributor this year \u2014 Netflix is screwed.<\/p>\n

When the Oscar nominations were announced Monday, there was a glaring omission: Aaron Sorkin was left out of the Best Director category for helming Netflix\u2019s \u201cThe Trial of the Chicago 7.\u201d While Sony\u2019s \u201cNomadland\u201d has long been the film to beat, many figured \u201cTrial\u201d could unbalance it somewhat. In a way, Sorkin\u2019s movie is this year\u2019s \u201cSpotlight,\u201d with sweeping emotions, a prestigious ensemble cast and an important piece of history.\u00a0Maybe it could pull an upset.<\/p>\n

But for now the only people upset are its producers. Yes, the film wrangled a Best Picture nomination, alongside \u201cNomadland,\u201d \u201cJudas and the Black Messiah,\u201d \u201cThe Father,\u201d \u201cMank\u201d \u201cMinari,\u201d \u201cPromising Young Woman\u201d and \u201cSound of Metal.\u201d But the acclaimed drama\u2019s hopes were dashed by the Sorkin snub. Just one flick \u2014 \u201cGreen Book\u201d \u2014 has won Best Picture without a Best Director nod since the year 2000, and that was a blip, to say the very least.<\/p>\n

Another instance in which the Oscars yelled \u201cNyet-flix!\u201d was denying a Best Picture nod to the streamer\u2019s \u201cMa Rainey\u2019s Black Bottom,\u201d the scorching adaptation of August Wilson\u2019s play starring Viola Davis and the late Chadwick Boseman. Both lead actors were nominated, and Boseman is a shoo-in to win a posthumous prize, but the film itself won\u2019t compete.<\/p>\n

Fear not! David Fincher\u2019s \u201cMank\u201d will save the day! Eh, don\u2019t bet on it. While the ode to old Hollywood leads the pack with 10 nominations, enthusiasm from all but film buffs has been muted. It also led the field at the Golden Globes and didn\u2019t win a single one. In fact, \u201cMank\u201d could very well go the way of \u201cThe Irishman,\u201d which is currently the losingest film at the Oscars since \u201cThe Color Purple\u201d was shut out of its 11 categories in 1986.<\/p>\n

\u201cMank\u2019s\u201d best hopes are wins for Production Design and, perhaps, Amanda Seyfried for Best Supporting Actress, who would valiantly have to fend off Olivia Colman (\u201cThe Father\u201d), Maria Bakalova (\u201cBorat Subsequent Moviefilm\u201d), Glenn Close (\u201cHillbilly Elegy\u201d) and Youn Yuh-jung (\u201cMinari\u201d).\u00a0<\/p>\n

The brightest spot for Netflix at the April 25 ceremony will be overshadowed by sadness, when Boseman wins Best Actor for \u201cMa Rainey\u2019s Black Bottom.\u201d<\/p>\n

Otherwise, no matter how many hundreds of millions of subscribers it gains, Netflix just can\u2019t satisfy a few thousand picky Oscar voters. Maybe hand out some free subscript<\/a>ions next year, guys.\n <\/p><\/div>\n
