The biggest peculiarity regarding the ranking of 2020: Many candidates are only in the top 10 because they appear in Netflix productions . For some time now, the streaming service has been paying particularly high sums to its performers - but why is that actually?

Studios that produce films for the big screen pay actors more money when it is foreseeable that more people will go to the cinema for that one top star. Netflix calculates salaries according to slightly different criteria: Among other things, it matters how many people subscribe to a particular film and how long they keep this subscription. The streaming service now has extensive options for determining such figures. The success of an actor on social media platforms and the number of clicks on the respective films are also considered further criteria.

All in all, Netflix seems to make a lot more money than some Hollywood studios from film and series productions. At the same time, the streaming giant is also spending a lot: Forbes suspects that Netflix will pay more than 17 billion dollars (around 14 billion euros) for new productions this year .
