As Amazon's Prime Video service takes on Netflix, these two original series perhaps aren't its biggest subscriber draws. But both make strides in two other important ambitions: awards prestige and Hollywood good graces. "Mozart in the Jungle" was the surprise winner of last year's Golden Globe for best comedy series, and is nominated again this year. "Red Oaks" is produced by Oscar-winning director Steven Soderbergh. As streaming services continue to develop their original television and film offerings, it's interesting to see Amazon continue to back critical successes like "Mozart" and "Red Oaks" beyond one or two seasons (although they did announce that this third season would be the last for "Oaks").
