Interesting in an exotic world I no longer plan to visit manner. There was a time I could name the last best picture winner and maybe some of the other award winners but no longer.
The impression I got about the Oscars is that they nominate arthouse type movies, which didn’t have wide circulation or wide appeal.
I know I don’t keep up with popular culture that much. But in recent years some movies nominated for Oscars I had never even heard of. I’m sure I’m not the only one. And I think this would affect the ratings for the Oscar telecast.
How many people want to sit through a 4-Hour award show to see what movie they never heard of , beat out another movie they never heard of for an award?
Awesome, I will enjoy NOT WATCHING them more than ever...
For me, I never watched the Oscars again after “Shakespeare In Love” was selected over “Saving Private Ryan”.
Of course, THIS is what they have been working towards for a long, long time.
