Netflix and other streaming services will not face a tougher road to the Oscars next year as their movies will still be eligible for Academy Awards.
The Academy of Motion Picture Arts and Sciences voted to leave a key rule on eligibility unchanged.
The rule allows any films on streaming services to be considered for an Oscar as long as they have been screening for at least 7 days in a Los Angeles theatre.
The academy's President said they plan to further study the profound changes occurring to their industry and continue discussions about these issues.
