Where was Hamilton at the Oscars?

Hamilton wasn't at the Oscars because IT IS NOT A MOVIE. It is a RECORDING OF A LIVE EVENT, so it shouldn't appear in Top 250 and in any search for feature films.

You at IMDb should create a category for concerts, plays and stand-up shows, so this kind of thing wouldn't appear alongside real movies, that were conceived to be movies, where every aspect was created for movie sake, like The Godfather and Citizen Kane. The script for Hamilton is not a script of a movie, the direction of Hamilton is not a direction of a movie, the costumes, the scenery, were not conceived for a movie. IT IS NOT A MOVIE. It was all already there. Can you guys understand the difference?

Thanks.

The reason that the 2020 musical biopic movie Hamilton was not at the Academy Awards ceremony is probably because it didn't screen at an eligible cinema located within Los Angeles County. By the way, one can easily interpret the whole movie as a dream sequence envisioned aboard a brig docked off Manhattan. Whatever. Think I'm reaching? Well, the people who claim that Hamilton is not a movie are the ones who are really reaching, ignoring all the care the makers took to shoot the footage from multiple angles and select which ones to include in a final edit.
