Seems to me that awards shows violate the spirit of the new “woke” generation. They should just hand out participation trophies to anyone remotely involved with a movie production last year and be done with it.

If there was true diversity in the movie industry, “foreign films” wouldn’t be segregated to one category and there would be foreign actors up for nominations in numerous categories including lead performances and direction.

Hollywood needs to get on the bandwagon.

Song sales are no longer actually tallied by sales.

If a song is streamed 150 times, that is counted as a sale.

If a bank of computers streams your tracks all day, all week, all month. You are a platinum artist. So Ed Sheeranout did the Beatles and had a dozen songs in the “top 20” because of “streams” and Drake became a platinum artist with ZERO sales (he reached the count before the album was released for sale).

Best actor award should go to the actor with the most twitterbots, regardless if he put a movie out.
