It wasn't "Made for Television" per se
It was released as a movie at the Sundance Film Festival prior to Apple purchasing the rights.
They do a limited run in enough theatres to meet the academy nomination rules. Very common with Oscar bait.
I disagree.
McDonalds: Still making billions of money, not the best food out there.
Jersey Shore: Lasted 6 seasons , doesn't make it a good tv show.
Jerry Springer: 26 years or so
Facebook: making a ton of billions of money , not the best social network service is it?
I am just saying, using income or popularity as a measure for making it BEST is incorrect. So Apple making billions does not make it the best. Some of their products can be said to be the best like airpods , iOS, iphones, iPad, MacOS but certainly they are not the best at everything a lot of their offerings are average or less than desirable .
well at least it wasn;t between the official host and the winner of the best actor , but if it was planned by them (staged) yes I guess it was always a low standard award.
For one or two movies its better to rent or buy, the thing with subscription service is that you have to have a huge library of selection to make it worth while and that is why Netflix was successful. It gathered a lot of great shows and movies from every place and put in one service.
There is probably only a couple or few companies can do this like Disney simply because they have been making entertainment for the past 100+ years so their libraries are huge, not to mention they are made of a combined of group of other tv and movie production studios like ABC, ESPN, PIXAR, Marvel, Star Wars, Fox, National Geographic...
they literally own a percentage of human's film&tv production and that is very hard for Apple to match.
Sounds plausible. Also, Power of the Dog director Jane Campion’s dumb comments about the Williams sisters at the Critic’s Choice awards likely worked against her.
There is no such thing as "junk" content. For me the Kardashians reality show qualifies as a junk, but millions of people enjoy it. A westerns movie from the 60's may be a "must-watch" for me, while it is absolutely ignored by the majority. It is the same with music. I would assume that you won't be happy if only selected artists by Apple are present in Apple Music, instead of having a huge library of hundreds of thousands of artists and millions of songs. Why then you are so happy with having Apple decide what movies and shows are good enough to be streamed on Apple TV+?
The fact that Philippe Rousselet produced both films, and his desire to have it made with actual deaf actors and not hearing ones (which was the case with the original) really negates this "stolen" idea of yours.
CODA already had sold some distribution rights before Sundance. This is not anyways the case.
Add Severance to the list. One of best series I watched in a while.
Don't forget Ted Lasso. Simply the best show I've seen in years.
When in doubt, some folk like to go full on hyperbole. Hence the use of the ”plagiarised” which is this case is 100% wrong.
@InTeCredo to plagiarize something is to take something and pass it off as your own. The Producer of La Famille Bélier ALSO produced CODA - and he wanted to do it with Real Deaf Actors and not well known hearing actors (as was the case for the ‘original’).
Please explain how that fits in with your highly hyperbolic use of the word “plagiarize”? I assume you didn‘t know about the producer and his feelings, and therefore just created some random nonsense in an attempt to make a point (and fail),
No.
I don't know if there are others, but one I know off the top of my head is The Departed. It's a remake of Infernal Affairs.

chris rock and will smith for best fight scene... but whatever id never watch that virtue signaling fest anyways..
As long as the publicity that comes from Oscar wins still boosts profits/income for the studios, actors, etc. that's all they really care about. Many people still buy/rent/stream or go to theaters to see movies and actors specifically because of an Oscar win or even just a nomination.
"Best" can be more on the subjective side or more on the objective side, and can be gauged a number of different ways e.g., best selling, best ratings, best warranty, best value, etc. To refer to anything as the "best" needs more context and rarely (if ever) is anything the best across the board or meant to be taken that way.
Look at the list of movies. So depressing. Movies are supposed to be entertainment. Yes, entertainment - all the time. Please no virtue signaling. Apple TV+ is as horrible as it can get.
Historically, Oscar for Best Movie is a mixed bag. Sometimes heavy duty, sometimes entertaining.

Said who? You?
You’re categorically wrong. “Movies are not supposed to be entertainment”. Many are there to educate, some to remind (e.g. Schindler‘s List) and others are there to make you think and question.
Stop assuming the whole world wants only the films you want.
