iOS News Update: Apple TV+ Earns Zero Oscar Nominations, Highlighting Ongoing Struggles with Movies
Key Points:
• Apple TV+ did not receive a single Academy Award nomination for its 2024 films.
• This marks a significant departure from its early success, including winning Best Picture in 2022 with CODA.
• Apple’s film strategy has shifted to prioritize more mass-market friendly movies and streaming-only releases, potentially impacting its Oscar ambitions.
As the Academy of Motion Picture Arts and Sciences announced the nominations for the 97th Oscars, Apple TV+ suffered a major blow: zero nominations. This marks a stark contrast to its early success, including winning Best Picture in 2022 with CODA, which was the first streaming service to ever take home the top honor.
Apple TV+ was expected to make a strong showing with several films, including theatrical releases like Wolf and the upcoming F1 film. However, these movies failed to receive any recognition in categories like best director, actor, or actress, documentary, or cinematography.
The lack of Oscar nominations is a significant setback for Apple’s film strategy, which has undergone a significant shift in recent years. In the past, the company focused on producing Oscar-geared projects, but it has since adopted a more mass-market approach, prioritizing streaming-only releases and big-budget films like the F1 movie.
This shift in strategy may have contributed to the lack of Oscar recognition, but it’s still a disappointing outcome for Apple TV+, which had enjoyed a successful start in the film industry. The good news is that the company is still killing it with its TV shows, as seen in its recent string of successful series.
