He’s not wrong. If Netflix and Amazon can win Oscars then why not HBO? Why not ABC and CBS? Why not something uploaded to YouTube?
He wants to keep the Oscars about “films”. If you open it up to any long form video presentation then there’s no reason to have these award shows. He wants to save the Oscars from becoming completely irrelevant.
What I said earlier is that I'm trying to understand Speilberg's argument. I still don't see it and your post is no more compelling. What am I missing?

That if you change The Oscars enough then they’re no longer The Oscars. If you want to create an anything-goes award show then create one. Spielberg wants The Oscars to continue to be about a specific segment of film entertainment.
When segments of the entertainment industry wanted to award television movies they didn’t insist that the Oscars include them. They created the Emmies. If you want an all inclusive visual entertainment awards show to include everything and anything, create a new one.
