It is worth noting, as Variety does, that "with Manchester by the Sea, Amazon Studios has made history, becoming the first streaming service to land a best picture Oscar nomination. The awards love justifies the digital giant’s decision to fork over $10 million for the rights to the indie drama. That deal, announced exactly a year ago, was one of the biggest in the history of the Sundance Film Festival."

Once awards season is over and the exclusive theatrical window has closed, it'll be interesting to see how long Amazon has Manchester By The Sea exclusively on its site, not making it available to the likes of HBO or Netflix. I'd bet it'll be awhile ...
