Are The Oscars Rigged? | The Art Of Film - Розваги
Little secret about the oscars: most people in the academy haven’t seen all the all films they’re voting on
Apparently the year Twelve Years a Slave won best picture 60% of the Academy hadn’t even watched the film
Untrue
This explain why they nominated a shitty movie like Logan or an abomination like Endgame
@@jocelyncooper1738 Exactly. Twelve Years a Slave is boring AF, maximum 3/10.
Free MGTOW the only reason it won is because it was about slavery, so the academy thought it was important. Hollywood has a perverse love for the slave movie, so much so that the movie doesn’t even have to be good in order for it to get nominations and win awards. Frankly, I’m sick of it.
its a bunch of famous people giving awards to themselves
Because watching a bunch of nobodies do the same would be so much more rewarding?
@@2011mrnoah Neither would you, if you did, everyone will give you a hastily polite gesture and forget about it forever after a minute
I haven't seen a good movie in years, they should just cut it.
circlejerking?
ACADIA COPIA yes, exactly
Are the Oscars rigged?
Is water wet?
Oscar is rigged.
Water is.....wet. yes.
@@TheDoodleGodGuest It was a rhetorical question...
@@secondchance6603 no. They're not. They're flawed. And they can commit mistakes sometimes.
@Aurora Borealis who told you that? Is a trustful source?
They aren't rigged. They're dipped in shit.
In recent years, the Oscar's has become less about talent and more about either popularity or social opinion.
Exactly.
Good point
Happy that at least Green Book won.
@@dinahgraham4964 Yes, at least they got it right in the Best Picture.
Iris 08 well for example I think that dunkirk was better than the green book. Its just about personal opinions
Ah so that must be why I haven't received an oscar yet
Taikamuna because your not a celeb and the oscars are an excuse to show how celebs are better than us and showing they’re perfect lives against us
@@pandorabox6667 r/whooosh
@@pandorabox6667 🤣🤣🤣
I already new this bruh
Wait lol
the biggest disappointment for me was that Hereditary was robbed BIG time. Toni Collette gave the most raw, emotional performance of 2018 and wasn’t even acknowledged. BUT, because it’s a horror movie and doesn’t have “relevant” political commentary, it was overlooked. Soooo that’s why i’m not tuning into the Oscars yet again this year.
I agree! Toni collette’s performance gave me the chills throughout that movie. Beautiful performance! Better then Gaga’s a star is born acting imo!
You’re right and you should say it
black panther nomination is the biggest joke
She was incredible. One of the best performances ever.
I absolutely hated Hereditary. I thought the film sucked... but even I can admit that Toni deserved a nomination.
The music industry is no different. Really sad.
The Grammys are such let downs all the time even more than the Oscars and Tonys.
Entertainment industry in general
@@hewhoyeet4953 *ART
It’s just like UA-cam Rewind
But worse
Thats actually a surprisingly accurate comparison
Shakespeare in Love won over SAVING PRIVATE RYAN?!?!?!?!?!?!?!?!?! COME ON!!!!!! Edit: OH MY GOSH a thousand, one hundred people liked my comment?! MOST EVER!! And even started a discussion in the replies! Wow!!!!
Yup. Look up Be Kind Rewind's video about Harvey Weinstein's aggressive Oscar campaign for that movie. It was the first of its kind and everybody even back then knew that win was bullshit. But they still followed Harvey's lead with their campaigns in the years since then.
Matrix, Being John Malkovich, Fight Club
Yes, just like "Moonlight" winning over "Hacksaw Ridge" in 2017!! It is no wonder the ratings in viewership decline, year after year.
see. that was robbery in broad daylight too!
Shakespeare in Love won because it was the first Art House film to break into the mainstream. This was both unintended and unexpected.
Great analysis. Saving private Ryan and Shawshank got robbed.
Nate DS Along with the following also being snubbed in the Best Picture category
Babe,
Beauty and the Beast,
Goodfellas,
E.T.
Star Wars,
Citizen Kane,
Nate DS Titanic didn’t deserve any awards whatsoever. It was a great story idea - but the directing and writing were absolute shit.
Sadie M That is one film that I will never ever watch along with “Avatar” I hear the visuals are stunning, but the story is every single environmental 90’s film. Also I am upset that the Titanic song won over Hercules “Go The Distance”!
Sadie M writing yes,directing in my opinion know. It’s pretty good looking.
*Yes!!!!!!*
Time has proven that the audiences decide by time which movies are better not awards or Oscars , even not the critics of the time who are easily bought or work for magazines owned by the same people who own the studios,
Take as an example a movie like: The Good ,The Bad & The Ugly which didn’t get nominated or win any Oscar and was panned by critics of that time, it is considered a cinematic masterpiece, a classic and one of the best movies of all times,
Did it win an Oscar?
Who one an Oscar that year for best picture? , a movie called: A Man For All Seasons, it’s not bad but just a good meh movie , who remembers it?,
Who calls it a masterpiece?
What is the percentage of people who seek watching it after 50 years or even talks about it after 50 years comparing to The Good, The Bad & The Ugly??,
Point is that time proves Whats best or not!, not critics of that time, not major film campaigns, not UA-camrs , not studious, and certainly not the Oscars , time and only time.
This guy is the only one talking any sense here. Nothing about paedophilia or PC culture. Movies are only ever considered amazing if they last longer than the year they were released.
I'm really annoyed how people keep saying that the Oscar used to be good because it celebrated talents and all that stuff.
It's NOT, the Oscar has always been an industry game since its inception. Campaigning or not, studios have been using it to promote their brand as early as the 1930s, whether it be a film or an actor.
They even have their own sets of rule at that time, this is why a lot of early Oscar-winning films are just straight up trash (Broadway Melody, Cimmaron), and why actresses like Babra Stanwyck and Greta Garbor never win, because they don't play by the rules.
It wasn't untill late 1940s-1950s when the Oscars became less trashy because they started nominating (classic) foreign films (which often lost to Hollywood mediocrity anway), and the late 1960-1970s when New Hollywood started to emerge
Edit: I'm not saying all 1930s Oscar winning films are bad, just that a lot of them are
Also, because of the collapse of Hollywood in 1949, fewer movies were being made and were usually at a larger scale (to compete with TV), so the overall trend of movies nominated for Oscars back then tend to be more competent compare to 1930s
Don’t forget that 1920s oscars had mob groups influencing them
Studio A24 has been killing it, year after year, with Oscar-worthy films. Where's the love?
This is a very honest and yet well put together video.
They have a basic misunderstanding of the word "rigged." It's like saying the Grammys are "rigged" towards good music. These claims make no sense. Also, why would The Shape of Water not be considered sci-fi. It has a fish-monster ffs. Films can fit into more than one genre.
@@yeahiagree1070 I came here to say the same thing. 'Rigged' is click-baity and deceptive, but there is a lot of good info in here... mixed in with editorializing. People always act like The Academy is some sort of secret cabal... but it's a bunch of very different opinions on movies. Ranked voting makes prognosticating really interesting and fun, but it also means that the most milquetoast movie (like Green Book,) which is a lot of people's #2 or #3 can win.
The movie is FREE! - Stop Moaning Thank you! A sane voice in a sea of crazy.
No it's not. It's infantile logic.
With my like ive turned you into the devil
Oscars should be about the BEST in cinema. Not fulfilling political quotas and essentially bribing officials so that your movie can place. Change my mind.
The sad part is that it's been that way since the beginning. Many of the films also win for political reasons as well...so whatever is in vogue at the time generally is nominated and wins.
That's why Black panther won best costume
As much as I normally hate the oscars (mainly for their political picks) but honestly I think they got it right this year. Many people have not seen movies like the green book. Watch it, it seriously was the best picture of the year. No, it wasn't as popular as movies like infinity war or black panther but it was truly the best picture. (in my opinion)
One has to define best. It's more likely the nominations and wins will be most favored. If one goes off best, then it's possible that the original Star Wars would have won best picture because of its impact on society.
Movie Master isn’t it should be equally so? Like the great literature of all time should represent its time and have great writing as well... just a thought.
The Oscars are not and have never been about praising good “Art” they are and have always been about praising good “Motion Pictures” and that means good-for-the-industry-products. Kind of like giving an award for Best Mine in the World and you making a video denouncing how “Mine awards are not about praising Nature”. Well. No.
SOME Oscar winning films can be good Art but that’s a coincidence.
This is the reason why Gravity got 8 Oscars and Interstellar got only 1 .
And only for the best visuals.
Like whaaat?
@TMKid yeah that's what he's saying
Especially when Interstellar used gravity better than Gravity did.
Several plot points in "Gravity" were certainly implausible, while "Interstellar's" denouement was disappointing.
@@WildwoodClaire1 Interstellar was an epic voyage into the human condition. The story was heart wrenching and the sets, cast, score and breath-taking effects wrap in up into an awesome movie. As for the story, he was communicating back through time to try and get his daughter to stop him going on the mission. They gave you plenty of clues at the start. That was another awesome part of this movie, when he ends up in the tesseract, it all comes together and you feel his dread of being trapped there. It doesn't matter what people at the Oscars think, movies are subjective. Interstellar has lots of fans, far more than Gravity. If you are a fan of this movie, you should watch the documentary on how it was made, it will blow your mind.
If _The Oscars_ won't be supporting pure talent & art, it's useless. But it's the reality a movie with 6 academy wins is more likely to be watched by people than one which isn't even nominated. I considered Oscars to be a standard for movies, directors, actors etc. but once you know what's behind those curtains, it fades away...
*MARKETING STRATEGY*
Aren't the Best Picture nominees this year have been released already in the U.S. around this time?
@@xnij250 dvd and bluray sales
Its impossible to objectify pure talent and art and that pure talent and art to be understood and watch by all 7 billion people. Oscars are mainstream and there is nothing wrong with that.
Majority of Oscars voters are americans. What do you expect from them lmao
take that feeling and expand it to any industry
holy crap at 6:24 did anyone notice they changed the movie names? like the post is now the post mail, lady bird is man bird, and darkest hour is brightest hour? the shape of water is the shape of fire, get out is get in, cmbyn is now call me by your name, dunkirk is dunkerk, and phantom thread is spooky thread??? i literally searched up man bird on google to see if it was a real movie or not haha, edit: oh they wrote "*not real movies" at the bottom
If you're going to make a video about how the Oscars are rigged, you should probably talk about how the Oscars are voted for and how it is actually rigged. instead of just naming patterns, explain why those patterns occur due to the voting algorithms
This is why DiCaprio didn't get an Oscar until about 3 years ago.
exactly......almost all his performances were Oscar winning.....
Riot Breaker Exactly.
No, DiCaprio didn’t get an Oscar because his competition was always better.
The only Oscar he truly deserved was for Wolf Of Wall Street, he was really the best of that year... the other years? Not so much
@@cemg.1938 it's because the voters got better gift bags from Dicaprio's management team that year. So kinda right.
@@cemg.1938 Wolf of wall street is like my favorite movie of all time! His performance was just terrific.
Ah, yes. Now I understand why my latest video, of me ramming a stale baguette through a door, wasn’t nominated.
Well Ill be damned, its a real video
got a real laugh outta me, sir
I wanna see this now.
Joking aside I’d actually quite like to see that
Truly, money buys everything.
I'll never know why and how Meryl Streep gets nominated over and over and over and over and over again😪😪😪
no, becayse she is an incredible actress and cinematic icon
@@gigi4965 Sure, whatever you say.
@Very Fake News This. The same reason why people like Kimmel, Fallon and Ellen are famous. Because WHY else, you know?!
Very Fake News Unfortunately this is true. She even called Harvey Weinstein a God 🤦🏽♂️
@@gigi4965 I've never seen her act good, it's corny, and I think the academy brain washed you all into thinking she's good.
My favourite movie is *the shape of fire*
You should have watched The Shape of Voice/A Silent Voice. The movie that was not nominated because Sony pictures has more money that put Boss Baby on the list
Im Ugly
The kings monologue was better
A silent voice was a mediocre film.
Bruh, dunkerk best movie ever made
My favourite comment is nobody cares
The fact that they gave Moonlight best picture after "accidentally" giving it to Blah Blah Land makes it painfully obvious that it's rigged LOL
It seems like everyone in that auditorium was about to start a riot when Lala Land was announced.
“Saving Private Ryan” losing to Shakespeare in love, is by far one of the most demeaning decisions Oscar voters have ever made.
If spider verse doesn’t win best animated film I’m suing the academy
It will win but Mirai is good.
Iris 08 honestly as long as a Disney movie doesn’t win I’m good... no shade to Disney/Pixar but I’m tired of seeing the exact same thing win every year there’s nothing innovative about their movies
Gladiator was a kick-ass movie,
great cast, great story, wonderful soundtrack,
what more do you want?
I can name a couple more things that I want. Exceptional EVERYTHING! Such. As cinematography, acting, production, script, editing, score, sound, originality, story. And the reason I put story behind is because I don't believe that an interesting story is the main thing it takes to make a movie.
This comment wasn't made to make fun of Gladiator or anything. I was just trying to answer your question.
Adam from Adam Ruins Everything did covered the Oscars in one of his episodes.
Basically most of the film studios spend millions on those who decide who wins Oscar. They give them rings, a chance to meet the celebrities actors and 'gifts' so that their movies would get voted more.
Their motives are not just winningthe Oscar, even getting a nomination would means a few millions more in the box office. So, film studios would rather spend a million to earn a few more millions. Its kinda like an investment. But a shitty one
TL:DR Most film studios spend more money to get nominations in Oscar to earn more money in the box office.
The real winners are the creative and hardworking people behind clothes, makeup and hair, stage production, assistants, etc etc. They get employed. Let the actors and actresses do their thing.
Meh, those people are easily replaced, you can't replace a Dicaprio or Will Smith thats why so many are fans of thiers and not the random makeup artist.
But you said 80% of fans liked the Best Picture winners. How is that bad for us if 80% of us like their recommendations?
Popularity doesn't always come hand in hand with how good the movie is. A lot of the people like the movie but movie experts might think it's not that good
@@violettbellerose1173 Doesn't make it bad though. We want to be recommended movies we like, not the ones for critics. This is why i prefer IMDB over Rotten Tomatos and Metacritic. No matter if there are foul eggs among the ratings, having the mass of thousands of people voting irons out these outliers. Crowd intelligence ftw
@@Kim-lj4ci Never said it did. I'm trying to say that what generally makes a winning movie is that it is well produced so then the company can campaign it and since it fits certain criteria, people will "like it" or at least, don't mind it.
Take examples like La la land or The shape of water. They are technically well made movies and people generally liked them but that doesn't determine how transcendent they will be on the long run.
Many movies receive above an 80% fresh rating with an average score of 7/10. The freshness meter is binary, indicating a like or a dislike. It doesn’t indicate scalar quality.
The fact that they didn't nominate Ethan Hawke for First Reformed still confuses me lol
*that was a good movie. But too calm for them i guess.*
And no jake gyllenhaul for nightcrawler
@@muhammedshahal5055 he should have won for that one
@@strongwise1255 yep :(
Someone go show this video to the people over at the Oscars! Cause they really need to see it.
Edit: To everyone replying trust me I know they obviously won’t ever care and will get away with it till the end of time.
They know this is true, you don't need to show them what's apparent
They don't care
"Get away"? By doing what the awards were designed to do since the beginning?
The fact Sigourney Weaver, Michelle Pfeiffer, Madonna (soundtrack), Bryan Adams (soundtrack), Winona Ryder, Diane Lane, Ridley Scott don't have the Oscar makes me sick
Yeah, Ridley Scott. If only he knew something about storytelling.
I heard the Glen Close doesn't have one either. There are so many actors out there who deserve one.
@@youngfunny1824 I was sure Glenn would win the oscar this year. I'm still shocked
irina1296 sigourney weaver as well!!
@@Cryptonymicus oh yeah gladiator, blade runner and other greats had poor storytelling. Just because you don't get it, doesn't mean he doesn't know about storytelling.
I was shocked when batman the dark knight wasnt nominated in the best picture category
now i know the reason why
Yes, it was a comic book, before the Academy voters got over the embarrassment of shopping at Walmart, excuse me, voting for comics.
Hugh Jackman performance on LOGAN should have atleast nominated for best actor ☹️
To be fair about the bias toward serious dramas, that's nothing new. Aristotle said tragedy was superior to comedy a couple millennia ago. Also, sci-fi and horror have never won best picture? What about Silence of the Lambs and The Shape of Water?
Nick Stevens he didn’t say they never won he said dramas are 9x more likely to win
@@emerald1031 The video says "Never won" at 4:26
Robert Reed people are allowed to make mistakes we’re all only human dude it’s not that important
The thing about dramas and longer movies though is that there's more story and character development. Which is why The Dark Knight should have won, except for that bias against the genre. Oscars need to change with the times. And these vids need to include online viewers as well as TV audiences or the ratings numbers are worthless.
Esme Nouvelle idk I think those comic movies are all boring
Damn, the logic applied in this video summarizes the contemporary tendency for false intelligence and misconceptions about hard data.
YES
Sexual orientation , Feminism and Racial issues had ruined Oscars If you make a film about a gay black dude you will probably win an Oscar
The Oscars started to die when Shakespeare In Love “beat” Saving Private Ryan
They’ve always been dead
Anyone here after finding out there was an oscars a few days ago?
One of the things that annoy me the most is the thought that Oscars are “owed“. Look at Gary Oldman or Leonardo DiCaprio: They didn‘t receive their Oscars for the performance they were awarded it for. They received it because they were snubbed before. It‘s gone so far that Oscar predictions always include stuff like this in their analysis. That sucks because this way the actual best performance gets snubbed due to politics. Sometimes it‘s also something like “This actor is still young, we‘ll give him the Oscar another time“. It‘s just a vicious cycle that costs the Academy more credibility than they can afford to lose at this point.
Brilliantly done and explained. Thank you so much for this insightful video!
Paying movie critics to hype their movie is also another way.
And one more thing: "Crash" beats "Brokeback Mountain"... and NOW you notice that the Oscars are rigged? DUH!
Jeffrey Williams ‘Crash’ is a great film, ‘brokeback mountain’...is not.
Natalie Zayas-Bazan You don’t know much about filmmaking... do you
The Translator actually i Have a BA in cinema and am a video editor and screenwriter but thanks.
@@Nazaba09 well then you are a shitty one
ツfunnypilgo oh, me and the entire academy educated in film are shitty now? Ok. 🙄
My biggest issue with the Oscars is tunnelvisionism. It appears that maybe 25 of 200 movies get 99% of the nominations. That's statistically impossible. There MUST BE a GREAT PERFORMANCE from a movie almost no one saw. But it's the same people, year after year, and the same movies (important ones) winning. "Kings Speech" had ticket sales of 30 million pre-Best Picture. Then made $400 million post-Best Picture. I didn't know that, but there is a reason: that was a beautifully made, historically accurate film and word-of-mouth, plus BP, plus a sensational cast all worked together.
Great, informative, insightful, video - Thank you for sharing.
1:01 spotlight uh moonlight
All award shows are stupid. You ought to be naive to believe they’re real.
What's missing here is that you didn't explain how the academy voting works. Most of the voters from what I heard are actors, so it's obvious why dramas tend to win best picture all the time. Also notice that movies with not enough acting in them usually get snubbed, hence Psycho and 2001: A Space Odyssey not even being nominated.
This is no secret. There are tons of people who work for the people on the Academy Awards that report films sitting on their desk without ever being viewed. They go for the obvious picks. The fact that you really require no background or merit to become a member is a big give away. It's all about being invited to be one.
Adam ruins everything did this first.
Then Matpat
Nah. Ricky Gervais was first. He said it at the Oscars. Lol
@@atomickittten1518 we need more of him
Well they ran out of video ideas so cut them some slack
*original videos
*can't believe passion of the christ or the perfume weren't even nominated !! wtf. They are masterpieces!*
There was no new information for me in this video, just another harassment of statistics that suck the life and soul out of Art.
I consider films that have been nominated for the Oscar as a standard for quality of film, not the only standard, and not the only reason I watch film, but for a specific caliber of film. I've seen every winner for best picture, and 300 of the nominees out of the 526 so far. I plan on being finished within two years. And I've adored nearly every one of the films.
I loved your work! Great analysis! Let's all forget about the Oscars (and other awards) and try to enjoy cinema not based in the highest voted/awarded movies but in the ones that truly try to make art!
Yet another thing ruined by politics.
you forgot that most winner movies is talking about gay rights and racism, it doesn't matter if there was better movies in the compilation
As someone who has seen all 92 Best Picture winners, and 300 of the nominees for best picture, this is extremely not true.
@@sirharrypotter24 i am talking about the last 10 years
THE SHAPE OF WATER was a science fiction/fantasy film that won Best Picture of 2017 breaking the mold that year.
Yes. Love that film.
That transition from the Psycho knife to the eraser pressing the calculator buttons was so smooth.
Grammies and Oscars?
Nobody cares just bunch of money
1000 subscribers with no videos young audiences dont watch Oscars n grammys
If young people don't give a shit, then they never will.
i feel like someone just removed the blindfold from my eyes
Great video. The Oscars have truly lost their way.
Want to win an oscar in 2019 just make a movie about race
Exactly my mom said the reason my black panther got 97% On rotten tomatoes which is more than it deserved is because pretty much everyone the movie is black
Seriously, why is it somehow considered better than Captain America: The Winters Soldier
Shakespeare in Love "beat" Saving Private Ryan - The Oscars have never recovered from that
Haven't been to the theaters since '06, haven't watched the "awards shows" in 20 years. I miss nothing.
Absolutely well versed and narrated. With points that actually make sense.
But how would you suggest to solve it? Right now it’s by a rating voting system, how would you suggest to replace that? Is there any systematic change that could make the best picture more diverse and representable? I agree that there should be a change in mindset but how are they going to achieve that I don’t know.
Birdman was a pretty unique win in my opinion
How so? I was another movie about filmmakers/artists etc. Like Argo, Artist etc.
Jan Bryg
By its script and how it’s paced?
Birdman is not “another” film about artists
Yeah, I'm not usually into the artsy fartsy stuff, but Birdman felt very different.
It has great camerawork and superb acting by Michael Keaton, but for me it's another of these movies that academy love. It's little pretentious also (that commentary about superhero movies/blockbusters). I didn't like Inarritu.
Whiplash should have won. It was the first major movie to focus on the jazz industry.
*_What's ya fav Oscars movie??_*
_Mine is Shawshank redemption_
Pulp fiction
Spotlight

Lyrics ASF One Flew Over the Cuckoos Nest 👊
"The Oscars are rigged"
The expression "No shit, Sherlock" comes to mind.
So basically Nicholas Cage would've won 20 Oscar's had he chosen to star in more dramas.
0:06 Anyone else thought of the shining when they saw this?
Yep Green Book is a shamefully basic film that doesn’t deserve any award
The Favourite or BlacKkKlansman should've won this year.
I think the audience should have a percentage of vote of who wins the Oscar. If a good film is released in January or early in the year, it should not be forgotten. It is not about money, it is about Art. Maybe there should be a Best Independent Film category. Forget about all the hype and only look at the Artists.
6:25 I was like "are these the real titles and it was just mandela effect all this time".
“The controversial Harvey Weinstein?!” How about the disgraced Harvey Weinstein. Feels more appropriate
So, it's titled "The Oscars are Rigged", but the vlog is really about films and they're statistical chances of winning based on screen time and subject matter. Brilliant! The principle problem with Oscar isn't Oscar, but rather the film industry itself, (more people now stay home for their entertainment than go to the cinema), combined with the shear number of award ceremonies that are now televised in what is become known as "Award Season". That said, the music industry is FAR worse with self-congratulation and the narrative here is incorrect, for as long as they're are motion pictures being made, the Oscars will continue to be consider the crowning glory of awards to win.
- Are The Oscars Rigged?
- It always has been...
Very well presented...U guys need an oscar for this.....good job guys..
I don’t think they’re rigged I think the academy is just particular
Grammys are worse
I actually wrote an essay about this in a film studies class, but i think that it can get better and the Oscars can start nominating better movies if they try hard enough, they just aren't
Good video, but didn't Film Theory make a better one of these analysis videos a while back?
The presentation, the voiceover, the overall vibe sounds and feels like the NERDWRITER.. Can't blame you though, it's a PROVEN FORMULA 😝
Lmao when it happened I heard a lot of “it happened?” And “I did not care”
What’s the music used in the initial bit where he mentions Harvey Weinstein?
I assume part 2 will include ideas for solving the problem?
The same type of people/movies nominated every year....
Remember back in 2005 when Brokeback Mountain was supposed to got the Oscar for best picture and then rigged by Crash then Oscar getting sued due to homophobia?
Hell, even the director of Crash regret his film to be awarded for best picture
I noticed it is also rigged for the animated category. Like, Pixar had 16 wins. And more then half were from Disney and Pixar, which is owned by Disney,. Yes, they are at the top of the chain in animation, but can we give some more people a chance.
Fantastic insight.
Thank you for posting.
The only Oscar award I’m actually interested in is Feature Animated Film but I swear to god if Disney or Pixar win I will be severely disappointed as there are much better animated films which have been nominated for this award
Mirai is good.
Okay, I have another argument for why the Oscars are tanking. The rise of social media and meme culture. Why watch a show for hours when you can see the highlights the day after. Also, the memes and recaps are more creative and way funnier. Also, most people only care about five of the categories? So why watch the entire thing when the internet is flooded with articles about who and what won mere hours later?
That's really what this video missed. I also think social media and youtube in general have made people stop watching it on tv. that's what we said in our dinner. why watch it when you can just google or youtube it later.
true
They’re dying cuz the movies that win aren’t popular with younger audiences who control social media. Yeah if avengers and black panther won all the oscars more young people would watch
Christian N I don’t know. Do young people even watch tv?
Næp Sæck TV's have replaced radios as background noise. lol
Longer movies usually win the Oscar.
Uses pulp fiction and Forrest hump as examples.
Pulp fiction: 2h 50m
Forrest Gump: 2h 20m
Please write movie titles for the clips.
No, they're not. They are just imperfect.
Isn't everything rigged?
I pretty much agree with everything you said. And I think the technical Oscars are much more correctly assessed.
For films to be elligible they need to run for a week at a Theatre in LA county, if you're not from the us you need contacts and an established career to achieve that, but its ok because they have a Best International Feature Film for representation
