Netflix’s “Frankenstein” won three Oscars, and KPop’s “Demon Hunters” won two

Two Netflix films, “Frankenstein” and “KPop Demon Hunters,” won multiple Oscars tonight.

“Frankenstein,” remade by director Guillermo del Toro, won best production design, best costume design, and best makeup and hairstyling, while Netflix’s most-watched KPop film Demon Hunters won best animated feature and best original song.

In recent years, films produced and distributed by streaming companies have become a fixture at the Oscars, with “Roma,” “The Power of the Dog” and “All Quiet on the Western Front” winning major awards. However, the big prize appears to still be out of reach for Netflix — Apple’s “CODA,” released near the height of the pandemic, remains the only online streaming film to win best picture.

Host Conan O’Brien even noted the presence of Netflix co-CEO Ted Sarandos at the start of the ceremony, joking, “This is exciting: It’s his first time in the theater!”

“Frankenstein” was nominated for nine Academy Awards, including Best Picture and Best Supporting Actor. Netflix’s “Train Dreams” and Apple’s “F1” (which won best sound) were also nominated for best picture, but that award went to “One Battle After Another.”
