In the case of TV shows, it's probably just the pilot episodes that are funded privately, after which the producers shop around for a distributor to fund the whole season.
my head hurts after reading this
Not even close to true. Two minutes of research could have answered this for you. The vast majority of Apple TV+ content was funded, conceived, hired for, and supported from the very beginning by Apple.
And so yes, it is Apple who should get the credit. Obviously.
After pondering why you were wrong, I think what you imagined was that I was thinking that most/all of Apple's products were filmed before Apple got involved. Go back and read my post again. I said "most companies purchase movies after they have been funded." I didn't say "ALL movies", I said "movies." And the fact that CODA was purchased after it was made proved my statement to be correct.
I do wish Apple didn’t include 3rd party producers in Apple TV Plus. It’s awkward as heck seeing 3rd party logos on a first party service. This is where Netflix does it right.
You had nothing to say. Missing qualification where an adjective phrase would might make this a statement which could render it true or false. (A statement by definition is some language which can have a value of true or false).
Regardless, most of Apple’s nominations aren’t for CODA. And all networks bid on un-distributed movies.
Then you asserted Apple likewise shopped for already produced TV (pilots), which is also false for much of Apple’s original content. TV producers pitch shows in meetings then make a deal with one. That’s a two-way process and of course the network should get credit for who they partner with. After the season has episodes to show the network decides whether to renew it. Some shows may be already produced in foreign markets and a network may license it (obviously Netflix does this a ton as well).
So your attempt to specifically discredit Apple is entirely stupid for multiple reasons.
