 While Netflix had previously given its theatrical acquisitions a simultaneous release in theaters and streaming, "Roma" was the first under a new policy to give them at least a three-week theatrical run before their streaming release.The Academy's official rules only require that a film be screened theatrically in the city of Los Angeles for seven days, with at least three public showings per-day, in order to be eligible for an Oscar nomination.The eligibility criteria do allow for simultaneous releases on non-theatrical platforms.
