As the answer to your previous question highlighted why they are not eligible for Oscars, then I would say that they could qualify for any other award that does not have such strict criteria. Empire Magazine's awards are directly vote for by the readers so I cannot see why they would not include Netflix productions, just for starters.– Stephen FrancisFeb 15, 2018 at 8:43

This is baffling, somewhat; Netflix/Amazon films are eligible for, and have been nominated for Oscars in the past...?– John Smith OptionalFeb 15, 2018 at 11:55

@JohnSmithOptional Read the article: "Beginning last November, the studio screened the movie in theaters for five weeks". Netflix simply abided by the Oscar rules.– BCdotWEBFeb 15, 2018 at 12:07

"These movies are not released in theaters" This is simply not true for all.– BCdotWEBFeb 15, 2018 at 12:08

Actually for any film to be nominated for major awards like the Academy Awards or the Golden Globes, they need to have at least a limited release in theatres.
In 2017, Netflix released Okja and Meyerowitz Stories: New and Selected, in limited release in theatres. The criteria is according to the awards.
As mentioned in the AMPAS rule book :
for a qualifying run of at least seven consecutive days, during which period screenings must occur at least three times daily, with at least one screening beginning between 6 p.m. and 10 p.m. daily"
These criteria must be met.
Fun Fact: Tommy Wiseau paid the cinema a lot of bucks to keep The Room running for seven days in order to make it eligible for the Oscars.
