Is he making a distinction between actual Netflix made movies and movies they buy/distribute (like Roma)?

Or does he not care?

[masterofmystery]

he doesn't care and means both

*sigh* That's what I thought. Shitty reading of the room, Steven.

[yeezy]

he means both, but even if he only meant movies produced by netflix it's still dumb, they paid for martin scorsese's 125 mill budget so to call it "only emmy" worth it is ridic lol

[meganlynn09]

That's true lol

doesn't care and is bitter

[bellwetherr]

he def doesn't care - and his new guidelines would likely fuck over smaller independent films as well
