You sound like you think just anybody could win a Primetime Emmy. Like it’s no big deal. Like everybody on here has like 20 of them.

Well, typically when we hear “Hollywood movie,” that means something that has been released theatrically…in theaters. Not a TV movie. Not shaming that accomplishment at all, nor the medium. Just the terminology used isn’t aimed at TV movies.

Man, you are just making up stuff out of whole cloth. The point is that it’s not a Hollywood film in the strictest sense. Hence my “loose” comment.
Just to be clear, when a PR blurb says an “award-winning Hollywood film”, we are talking about theatrical and distributed by one of the major studios. Any indie film that runs on a few hundred screens isn’t a “Hollywood film”. And conversely the original “Star Wars” started out as an “indie” film IIRC.
I’m not slighting anyone’s production here. Merely pointing out that Apple PR release is sloppy and uses a lot of license with the facts, as it relates to that particular verbiage. Or maybe they were actually just referring to the track record of FCP “legacy” 🙂 Maybe more likely.

Wow, such hostility.
If anyone wonders why the vast majority of the FCP X pro community has pretty much given up on participation here, this thread would be a pretty good example of why.
It’s a press release.
Not a statue banning handguns or requiring the forum to adopt Shari’a law, for heavens sake. ????

What hostility? We are just pointing out that a PR release is wrong. We do this with other NLE makers too.

What Happened, Miss Simone? was nominated for an Oscar. That means it met these rules:
An eligible documentary film is defined as a theatrically released nonfiction motion picture dealing creatively with cultural, artistic, historical, social, scientific, economic or other subjects. It may be photographed in actual occurrence, or may employ partial reenactment, stock footage, stills, animation, stop-motion or other techniques, as long as the emphasis is on fact and not on fiction.
Sounds to me like it meets your definition.

It was released by Netflix. I think that most people would consider them a major studio these days. Also, I only listed the one of its awards, but to be clear, here are the rest:
Awards:
AFI Docs Festival Audience Award: Best Documentary Feature Film
Black Film Critics Circle Awards: Best Documentary
Peabody Awards: Documentary and Education
Women Film Critics Circle Awards: Josephine Baker Award. -

You are correct and I stand corrected.

I went through the rest of the list, and there are quite a few that won real awards including:
Loreak (Flowers was the English title)
El Hombre de las Mil Caras (The Man of a Thousand Faces was the English title)
Well Wishes
600 Miles (won several other awards, but was also nominated for the Transylvania International Film Festival’s Transylvania Trophy! ☺ )There were also others that were released by major studios and were nominated for Academy Awards, but did not win.
