Apple TV+ may have begun its venture into original films in 2019, but it has already made a mark with both charming indie projects and award-winning productions. Notably, “CODA” took home the Oscar for Best Picture not long ago, making history as the first streaming service to achieve such recognition. While Apple TV+ received 13 nominations for the year 2023, it faced a setback the following year as no nominations came through. Nevertheless, Apple’s offerings are diverse, ranging from high-prestige films to lighter, entertainment pieces like the latest Guy Ritchie globe-trotting movie.
Navigating the financing and distribution of films today can mislead audiences into thinking they’re seeing traditional theatrical releases. However, these films are proudly Apple TV+ originals, sometimes exclusive to the platform but occasionally popping up in theaters for eligibility in major awards.
