Steven Spielberg says his battle with Netflix wasn't as bad as people made it seem

Steven Spielberg felt his feelings toward streaming services were misrepresented, The New York Times reported based on sources close to him. The legendary director had reportedly tried to get the Academy to change its eligibility requirements, potentially blocking out streaming services who refuse traditional rules of exclusive theatrical runs. The Academy voted to maintain its rule, it announced Tuesday, marking a key win for streaming services like Netflix.
