Netflix led the Oscar nominations this year with 24 total Academy Award nominations, including two in Best Picture for The Irishman and Marriage Story. This is a first for Netflix: It came close last year with 15 nominations but mostly on the strength of one film (Roma). This year, Netflix had multiple contenders. Beyond the streaming service’s 10 nominations for Martin Scorsese’s The Irishman and six for Noah Baumbach’s Marriage Story, it also earned three nominations for Fernando Meirelles’ The Two Popes, three documentary nominations, and two nominations in the animation category (including for original Klaus).
Coming in second place was one of Netflix’s biggest competitors, Disney, which benefited from its recent acquisition of 21st Century Fox. Without its Fox subsidiaries, Disney would have remained mostly consigned to the animation and Best Original Song categories with eight nominations, but thanks to the Disney-Fox merger, Disney came in second with about 22 nominations total.
