The Oscars were this weekend, and Netflix's "Roma" was a frontrunner in several categories. That's a shift from years past, when the streaming service's few eligible features were shut out, and more major filmmakers are opting for streaming over theatrical distribution. Nathan Weinbender takes a look at "High Flying Bird" and "Velvet Buzzsaw," two new Netflix releases that may or may not be the subject of awards consideration a year from now.
Nathan Weinbender is the Film and Music Editor for the Inlander and a co-host of Spokane Public Radio's "Movies 101," heard Friday evenings at 6:30 here on KPBX.
