the whole movie industry currently revolves around award shows and the prestige that comes with it
a stamp on that DVD you're selling that says "winner of the Oscar for Best Film 2017" will make it sell
the prestige goes hand in hand with the drama of who "deserves it better" which also happens in every other film festival, from the oscars to cannes or berlin, to the couple I help run here in northern Portugal
the oscars are like the top money maker in a system of recognition, clout, prestige, respectability and marketability
so there's no point in being mad at the oscars specifically if you're not going to think about the whole worldwide movie industry and the standards through which movies are financed and sold + how "quality" is understood
