TIME Magazine reports:
Netflix’s Roma has already made history. Leading the 91st Academy Awards nominations (along with The Favourite) with 10 nominations, the film is only the second foreign language to score that many nods, after 2000’s Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon did the same. It’s also the first film from Netflix to earn a Best Picture nomination.
If the film wins Best Picture, Roma will be the first foreign language film to take home the Academy Award in that category. While the Oscars recognize achievements in foreign language films in a separate category, a win for Roma would mark a turn away from only awarding English-speaking films as Best Picture.
