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.

Well then he's missed the boat by at least 15-20 years. The Oscars used to be about awarding the best mainstream cinema had to offer.

Haha.

But who's trying to change the Oscars? Spielberg is that's who. He's the one who wants to change the rules. Netflix followed the rules to make their film eligible.
