Titanic and Avatar director James Cameron recently sat down with entertainment journalist Matthew Belloni on his podcast The Town with Matthew Belloni, where he discussed which films he believes should qualify for Academy Award nominations, along with his thoughts on Netflix's current business strategy.
The three-time Oscar winner told Belloni that only films made for a theatrical release should be eligible for Academy Awards, excluding movies released primarily on streaming platforms. He singled out Netflix, which often screens its biggest films in cinemas for a limited time before making them available to stream.
