Oscar farce

Are the Oscars still relevant? As Sunday night approaches, Gavin Polone argues that the ceremony is meaningless because the Academy members are out of touch with what cinema-goers really want

“Miss America was misogynistic. Women’s bodies were compared, dissected, judged, and then held up as a false ideal. The Oscars are equally redundant“

“Instead of calling the ultimate award at the Oscars ‘Best Picture,’ they should call it ‘the favourite picture of the 6,000 academy voters’.”
