All told, 16 Netflix films got Academy nods. On the top of that list was Mank, a drama about the writing of the classic movie Citizen Kane filmed in period black and white. Mank received 10 nominations, which was not only the highest number for a Netflix offering, but also tops for any title nominated by the Academy this year.
