Netflix Tops Streaming Services at Oscars but Doesn’t Have Night’s Biggest Winner

Netflix won six Oscars, while Apple grabbed one.

This year’s Academy Awards left streaming services wanting more. Unlike last year, when Apple’s movie CODA won Best Picture, streaming services were left largely on the sidelines during Sunday’s ceremony.

Netflix captured six Oscars, while Apple managed just one. The biggest winner of the evening, Everything Everywhere All At Once, wasn’t affiliated with a streaming service and had a traditional theatrical release.

Netflix’s All Quiet On The Western Front picked up four Oscars, but fell short in the Best Picture category. The German film pulled out a surprise victory at the British BAFTA’s last month and it seemed like there was an outside chance that the war movie could snag a Best Picture upset. Instead, the film won for Best Original Score, Best International Feature Film, Best Production Design and Best Cinematography. Netflix film Guillermo del Toro’s Pinocchio also won for Best Animated Feature, while The Elephant Whisperers won for Best Documentary Short.
