RARE PHOTOS: Netflix just added an oscar contender that will leave you laughing and stunned | Vintage Vibes

(L-R) Shih-Yuan Ma as I-Ann, Nina Ye as I-Jing and Janel Tsai as Shu-Fen in "Left-Handed Girl" (2025).

Netflix has more than a few contenders for the 98th Academy Awards, but the last Oscar-worthy movie the streaming service has added might be its best shot at winning. "Left-Handed Girl" just hit the platform over the weekend, and it's got some serious pedigree.

It's directed by Taiwanese-American filmmaker Shih-Ching Tsou, who worked with acclaimed director Sean Baker on his films "Take Out" (co-director), "Starlet," "Tangerine," "The Florida Project" and "Red Rocket." Notably absent from that list is last year's Best Picture winner, "Anora," though as I'll explain later on, "Left Handed-Girl" and Baker's Oscar winner have some commonalities.
