Spielberg to push for new Oscars rules that exclude streaming movies

Studios in general have accused streaming giants of playing dirty by using shorter theatrical release windows, massive marketing budgets, secret viewer data and instant worldwide releases to thrash conventional movies. Moreover, some filmmakers note that streaming can be the only way their movies see wide release. If Spielberg had his way, streaming movies would lose a significant amount of public recognition and wouldn’t be considered in the same class as their traditional counterparts, even though they increasingly have similar talent and budgets.
