industry (streaming effect): The Ballad of Buster Scruggs → Coen Brothers. Streaming access to segments may have helped it get nominations, or voters just love the Coens.
“I thought that movie actually got a few stray nominations because people were like, oh, I could just watch any segment of this I want”
