Amazon boss Jeff Bezos has revealed his plans to bag one of Hollywood's highest accolades - an Oscar.
Speaking to German newspaper Die Welt, Bezos said Amazon is aiming to produce 16 feature films a year adding: "We want to win an Oscar."
Like rival Netflix, which released feature film 'Beasts of No Nation' starring Idris Elba online earlier this year, Bezos confirmed that the films would run on Amazon Prime rather than via a traditional cinema release.
Amazon Studios already has five Emmys under its belt thanks to TV series Transparent.
"I want to offer masters like Spike Lee or Woody Allen a new platform," said Bezos adding that he would "grant a lot of freedom" to those using the platform.
In addition to Transparent and the Ridley Scott produced series The Man in the High Castle the online streaming service managed to secure former Top Gear trio - Jeremy Clarkson, Richard Hammond and James May - with their new show set to debut in 2016.
