Netflix makes historyThough Netflix shows are regularly showered with Emmy nominations, best picture recognition at the Oscars has eluded the company until now. Yes, Alfonso Cuarón’s film is mostly composed of languid long takes, but an editing nomination is often considered a key milestone on the way to a best picture win. Then again, “Green Book” and “A Star Is Born” didn’t crack the category, either. In addition to its best documentary nomination, it also picked up a nomination for best song. The Producers Guild honor usually foretells the winner of the best picture Oscar, but will that still hold true this year?
