If more of the Oscar nominated movies were on netflix, regular people might have actually heard of and seen them.

>Clearly, studios are hopping mad that “Roma” could come so close to winning the Academy’s top prize. Here’s a roundup of the complaints:
>Netflix spent too much. One Oscar strategist estimated “Roma” at $50 million in Oscar spend, with “Green Book” at $5 million. (The New York Times reported $25 million; Netflix insists awards were folded into their entire marketing budget.)
>The massive “Roma” push crushed foreign-language distributors. Sony Pictures Classics co-president Michael Barker said he had no financial option but to release Oscar nominees “Never Look Away” and “Capernaum” when theaters opened up after the holidays, which meant fewer Academy voters had a chance to see them.
>“Roma” only spent three weeks as a theatrical exclusive.
>Netflix doesn’t report box office.
>Netflix doesn’t respect the 90-day theatrical window.
>Netflix movies are available in 190 countries, 24-7.
>These claims concern the Academy. However, it’s less clear how they fail to meet Academy standards. Box-office numbers have no impact on Oscar qualifications, and every year films qualify with just one week of exclusive theatrical play. Some theaters held “Roma” for as long as 13 weeks. (IndieWire box-office editor Tom Brueggemann estimated a $3.8 million total.)
Simply put, it's not just about awards qualifications but Netflix playing by its own rules while gaming the original Oscars qualifications system (which never considered future methods of film delivery such as streaming video).
"Black Panther" was on Netflix.

Netflix is investing a lot in animation. Plus, Apple is creating its own streaming platform and got Cartoon Saloon to make exclusive content for them.
