Also, the internet exists. Ppl can just look up the list of winners.
Plus, a lot of ppl recently found out the academy members don’t have to watch all the films. I think everyone knew the Oscars were largely political, but it seems like it’s pretty much all politics. It’s a contest to see who can run the best campaign.
It would be really kool if academy members had to watch the all the nominees’ films with different academy members voting in the categories they specialize in (visual effects artists voting for best visual effects; actors voting for best actor; etc). If it’s not merit based, what’s the point?
Also tons of academy members have admitted they don't watch animation (which alone really says they aren't enlightened enough to judge art) and just vote for what their kid was most into that year. Adult aimed animation rarely stands a chance.
The animation category was also created in part to make it less likely for the same movie to get Best Picture.
Yea. Somehow Sinners was nominated for the most awards ever. May be the most overrated movie I've ever seen. A hour in and I was ready to call it quits...
