This year, Netflix came closer than ever to winning best picture at the Oscars, thanks to Alfonso Cuarón’s Roma. But after weeks as an awards-season front-runner, the black-and-white drama lost out on the big prize to Green Book. One likely reason Roma fell short? Some Academy voters are still loath to reward a Netflix movie, largely because of the company’s stinginess when it comes to theatrical releases. Netflix yielded a little bit this season, putting Cuarón’s film in select theaters for several weeks and a fancy 70mm release on a handful of screens, and spending millions on a proper awards-season campaign. However, that still wasn’t enough to secure the prize—especially not from those who accused the streaming service of trying to buy a best-picture Oscar.

Now, according to The Hollywood Reporter, the streamer is determined to step things up with its next best-picture prospect, Martin Scorsese’s upcoming drama The Irishman.

According to T.H.R., Netflix may give The Irishman a more traditional wide theatrical release, drawing in as many eyeballs as possible for the costly film, which is more than $125 million, per Scorsese’s request. To do so, according to T.H.R., it must allow theater owners to share box-office figures for the film, which it did not allow for Roma. The streamer is famously against sharing viewership numbers for any of its releases, so this move is in itself a major bow to the film industry. Representatives for Netflix have not yet responded to Vanity Fair’s request for comment.

“Netflix wants a big footprint for The Irishman,” an industry source told T.H.R.: “They’ve put themselves in a position by supporting these kinds of filmmakers, where they have to come to grips with the theatrical business model and how it works.”

And The Irishman does have Oscar-2020 potential written all over it, not least because of its Academy Award–winning director and its cast, which includes Robert De Niro, Al Pacino, Joe Pesci, and Harvey Keitel. (Best of luck to these upstarts!) If the film is a critical hit, Netflix may be its greatest Achilles’ heel—mainly because the Academy has proven its anti-Netflix bias many times over when it comes to voting for best picture, though Roma did walk away from the Oscar ceremony Sunday with three awards (for cinematography, directing, and foreign-language film).

Per T.H.R., the company is not just looking to change things for The Irishman, but for several other upcoming prestige projects. The list includes Steven Soderbergh’s The Laundromat, David Michôd’s The King, Dee Rees’s The Last Thing He Wanted, Fernando Meirelles’s The Pope, and an upcoming Noah Baumbach film starring Scarlett Johansson and Adam Driver. This is likely not just because these directors are clamoring for a theatrical window—it’s also because a group of Academy members, led by Steven Spielberg, a governor of the directors branch, is seeking to implement a new rule that will require all eligible films to have, at minimum, a four-week theatrical window. Spielberg has said in the past that he thinks Netflix movies shouldn’t even qualify for Oscars, so this new rule would be a formal way to force the company’s hand—at least as long as it continues to care about the awards race.
