2025 Oscar Nominee With 93% RT Score Is Trending On Streaming Shortly After Its Debut

The Oscars are coming up this weekend on March 2, but even before the winners are announced, this year has been riddled with controversy. While there were spots of AI controversy for The Brutalist, the most contentious film was Emilia Pérez. Despite being nominated for a whopping 13 awards, some viewers criticized the Netflix-distributed film for its over-the-top nature. Making matters worse, old social media posts from its Best Actress-nominated star later leaked online, worsening the film's chances at awards.

As always, audiences have been quick to point out Oscar snubs, an issue only exacerbated by the Emilia Pérez controversy. In the Best Actress category, people were upset not to see Angelina Jolie for Maria or Time Women of the Year honoree Nicole Kidman for Babygirl. People were also shocked not to see movies like A Real Pain and Sing Sing, which were nominated for other awards, left out of the Best Picture race. Now, a movie nominated for one Oscar this year, but not Best Picture, is doing well on streaming days before the ceremony.

September 5 Is Now A Streaming Hit

September 5 Chronicles Real Life Events

September 5 is doing well on streaming. The based-on-a-true story drama gets in the newsroom with the ABC sports reporters, who end up providing critical coverage when Israeli athletes are held hostage at the 1972 Summer Olympics. The ensemble film features a leading cast including Peter Sarsgaard, John Magaro, Ben Chaplin, Leonie Benesch, and Zinedine Soualem. The docudrama thriller wound up with a nomination for Best Original Screenplay, but failed to score a Best Picture nod.

Our Take On September 5's Streaming Success

This Great Movie Deserves Recognition

I'm in agreement with those who say that September 5 was snubbed; this movie is great and deserves any bit of recognition it can get. While the story itself (part of which was previously covered in the Steven Spielberg film Munich) is gripping, September 5 has strong ensemble work, an enthralling pace, and a tight script that makes its Original Screenplay Oscar nomination come as no surprise. With a $6.7 million gross worldwide, September 5failed to connect in theaters, but it is great to see it have a return appeal to audiences on the streaming market.
