A quick Google search of the Academy Awards eligibility requirements shows that Roma did meet the requirements.
Aren't you the location scout for Spike Lee? I think I gathered that from another post.
My brother is a location scout and photographer for two shows for a network gig for the last two years. I'll tell you what I told him last night. He hung up on me, btw.
Prepare your anus. Film, just like any vibrant market is being disintermediated at a rate people have a har time keeping up with. You'd best figure out what's coming next, because you and my brother's job as it exists now is going to be automated, or discounted to the point of silliness..

Good for Spielberg for standing up for the rightful and time honored role of the theatre.
Keep all streaming in the Emmys where it belongs.
The Oscars are for real motion pictures.

A soda isn't $7 when you're streaming.

I'm arguing on the same side as you. I've got a nice theatre experience at home without the $7 cokes.
I forsee movie theatres going the way drive-ins, but in a different way. There will always be movies that are best experienced in a theatre. You'll have a theatre for that experience. Particularly visually grand movies, or action movies. How many movies are those? 5%? The rest can be watched on a $300 50' HDTV.

Agree completely. I've got an 80" 4K tv at my house with better food, no line for the bathroom, and most importantly a pause and volume button.

Exactly. I only go to the theater for the truly visual epics.

Those make up most of the movies people are going to theaters for already, so it really wouldn’t change that much

I disagree. Would you lose anything seeing A Star is Born from your home? There are more dramas and comedies than films that justify going to a theatre. Many more.
What current films in your opinion justify going to a theatre?

I saw A Star is Born in Dolby theater and yes, it was better than watching it at home because of the sound.
Yes, there more comedies and dramas released when compared to large budget action or comic book movies. And I agree that most of those aren’t worth seeing in a theater. But when talking box office those big budget action or comic book movies are the ones that dominate, that’s all I was saying. Those movies are the ones keeping theaters alive for the most part.
ETA: horror movies haven been bringing people to the theaters as well

he's not wrong .... when Roma is really only released theatrically for a few weeks (if that) and is then all of a sudden is streaming it cheapens the process. No matter how good the film is. And i'm sure there are some really nice home setups out there, but nothing can replicate the shared experience of the big screen. Box office sales were up over 10% this year. People enjoy going to the movies. Viewing habits will change over time, but it's not going away.
Just like the NFL --- games sometimes are better at home, but they cannot replace the experience of being there with other people

He better get on board with streaming because the theater will continue to diminish.

Steven Spielberg does not want Netflix films to be nominated for Academy Awards
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.

Ones a show and ones a movie?

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?

TV Movies already have an award show, it’s called the Emmys. The Academy Awards were created for movies shown in theaters. Why is this even controversial? Just because some poors and shut-ins like to stay home, doesn’t change the facts.

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.

How does it cheapen the process?

Go to a bar.
I've been to many Alabama games but I can't remember having as much fun as I did watching the Alabama-LSU game this past year at the Alabama bar here in Hawaii.
