Oscars 2019: Netflix wins its very first Academy Awards as Alfonso Cuaron's 'Roma' wins Best Cinematography
After all that controversy that Netflix made sure 'Roma' was a part of, the film has proved that it is truly a standalone piece.
Netflix just had its first award at the 91st Academy Awards, 2019, with director Alfonso Cuaron's 'Roma' winning in the Best Cinematography category. The award was presented to Cuaron by Tyler Perry. Although the movie has been at the center of controversies even before it was released, let's just say 'Roma' has proved that good cinema will always stand apart from all the ongoing politics in the film industry. However, 'Roma' did have its fair share of help from the streaming network which had received immense backlash for sinking $20m into a marketing blitz targeting 7,902 Academy members.
