The Weinstein Co’s Oscar front-runner The Artist will make its pay TV debut on Netflix rather than on traditional cable as part of a multi-year licensing agreement announced today. The deal will make Weinstein foreign-language films, documentaries and other titles available exclusively to Netflix’s streaming subscribers in the U.S. within a year of their theatrical release. It’s the first such agreement between Harvey and Bob Weinstein’s indie distributor and Netflix; terms weren’t disclosed. Undefeated, nominated for a Documentary Feature Oscar, also will make its pay-TV debut on the streaming service. Other Weinstein titles included in the arrangement are Sarah’s Key, W.E. and Coriolanus. ”It is a fantastic coup for Netflix to acquire The Artist and the package of additional titles,” Weinstein co-chairman Harvey Weinstein said today in a release announcing the pact. “With this deal, a company that loves movies, Netflix, joins forces with a company that is built on that same love.”

The Artist sucks and the academy will prove this sunday how out of touch they are again.
So, nothing for Canada again? Cause, you know, it’s not like we watch movies up here or anything.
Bitter?
Netflix is moving in the right direction, becoming more of a streaming/cable channel.
First Summit, now Showtime’s losing more movies from slected TWC films. Les Moonves needs to wake up and realize that shows aren’t the end all be all of Showtime.
Smart move, Netflix.
Sally, I’ll be thinking of you when The Artist wins another two or three awards on Sunday.
