Gasps at the Oscars
March 7th, 2006. Filed under: Articles
Will you call the Academy Awards show predictable, year after year? Will there always be a movie that can bag an award without question? Will there be an actor or actress that has skills that far surpasses the others?
Why am I asking subjective questions?
To start off, the films nominated for Best Picture are not the top-grossing films on its release. What does that tell you? Less and less appreciate true artistic story-telling expressions in the form of film. People go for the more visually wow-ing or stuff that has what I would like to call ‘appeal’. Blockbusters are created just so that it will appeal to the masses to earn stacks of green. The real quality content, however, should escape the eyes of the Academy.
I guess that this year, it hasn’t. Still, can you predict the winners?
