Steven Spielberg thinks Netflix movies shouldn't be eligible for the Oscars

Steven Spielberg may not hate Netflix, but he does dislike the fact that Netflix movies can compete at the Academy Awards. The director got candid about the streaming giant during an interview with ITV News while promoting his new blockbuster “Ready Player One” (via Business Insider). According to Spielberg, just because a Netflix movie gets released in theaters for a week for an award-qualifying run does not mean it should be in contention for nominations.
