We don’t have to watch the ‘awards’ for best dentists - or best college intern or best anything except these filmmakers...
It’s time for Hollywood to do their ‘awards shows’ like everyone else: within their own profession and private.
Don’t waste our time.
I used to say, back in the early 90’s, that I’ll watch the Oscars when there is an annual show to show the awards for best COBOL programmer.
in the grammys awards are given out to the top selling artists every year (more or less) although the beatles weren’t heavily awarded when they were the top thing going
Rock and Roll hall of fame also favors chart success over impact and influence.
But at the Academy they will give it to something most people might otherwise not watch, skip some nominations or awards for “political” (industry skirmishes) reasons, and ignore the top sellers if they are science fiction, horror, or “comedy”.
Once upon a time the Oscars were a fun evening for movie fans. But, the woke culture has killed it just like it ruins everything.
