The major failure was witnessed by streaming giant Netflix on Sunday. Its ambitious project The Irishman, that was helmed by Martin Scorsese, went home empty-handed. The mob epic had the second-highest nominations for the evening but its fellow competitor Once Upon a Time in…Hollywood took home five awards the same evening.

Netflix’s film Two Popes was also nominated for four categories but failed to take even a single one.
