In the case of Roma, Netflix would have either: 1) Gone forward with their streaming release in December and had the film not be eligible for Academy Awards. 2) Released the film in L.A. County for 7 days and...

    True. I originally put that antenna in back in the early days of HD and my locals were only available over Dish Network in SD. It cost me like $22 and about an hour of time. It's been well worth that investment. It still comes in handy when one of the locals has a fee dispute with Comcast...

    I'm sure they think that, but some of the highest-rated years have been when the show ran nearly 4 hours. I think that's true. Even my comic-book friends (who never watch) are going to watch this year because of Black Panther.

    I don't think so. The Academy has expanded the number of members by 25% over the last three years. In 1989, the Academy demographics skewed older, so I would imagine that a good number of them from 30 years ago are no longer with us.
