One of these awards shows actually cares about the integrity of cinema.
Despite the shocking moments and historical wins, the 94th Academy Award show was the second-smallest Oscar audience in history and a bit of a bore. The award show has not only become predictable, but the members of the Academy have fallen short of their mission to celebrate the art of filmmaking.
While there is nothing inherently wrong with the Academy’s choice to recognize specific films that fall outside of the average moviegoer’s list of best movies of 2021, the overwhelming feeling of dismissal of non-Oscar films from the members of the Academy is hard to not notice.
For a show dedicated to celebrating achievements in filmmaking, they do not hesitate to neglect essential elements of filmmaking in favor of showcasing celebrities and the categories that the average viewer wants to see.
