Apple TV entered the film industry only a few years ago, yet its movies already appear regularly in the Academy Awards conversation. Since 2021, Apple Original Films have collected several nominations across major categories, including Best Picture, Best Director, acting awards, and technical categories such as sound and visual effects.
The platform also delivered one of the most important milestones for streaming services when CODA won Best Picture at the 94th Academy Awards, becoming the first film backed by a streaming platform to take Hollywood’s top prize.
As the 98th Academy Awards approach, Apple again holds multiple nominations with titles such as F1: The Movie, Come See Me in the Good Light, and The Lost Bus. Over the past five years, the company has steadily expanded its awards presence, moving from a few early nominations to major campaigns with films like Killers of the Flower Moon and Napoleon, which together earned a record number of nominations in 2024.
Below is a clear breakdown of every Apple TV film that has received an Oscar nomination or win so far.
