The streaming service was nominated for 24 awards, but only won two.

Netflix had led all other studios in Oscar nominations going into the ceremony. The Irishman shutout marks Oscar voters' latest rejection of the streaming service, which has tried and failed for years to score a Best Picture win.

But at the Academy Awards, after a couple years of fairly steady upward trajectory, Netflix, which ponied up $50 million for Parasite director Bong Joon Ho's last (criminally overlooked) movie Okja, hit a snag. After being nominated for a monumental 24 awards, up from 15 noms last year, the streaming service was only attached to two winners last night: Laura Dern's Best Supporting Actress victory for Marriage Story and the Best Documentary Feature American Factory.



(Last year, the streaming giant won three little gold men for Roma alone.) Hey, sometimes it's just not your year. But to see Netflix's The Irishman-directed by Martin Scorsese and starring Robert De Niro, Al Pacino, and Joe Pesci get shut out was quite the surprise.
