Yes, this is such a pertinent topic, especially thinking about how we as a culture view cinema today. It might even be interesting to look at how the Oscars have been viewed since the start. Did the Academy Awards truly value real art more in previous decades (like the 50s and 60s) then they do today? Why do millions of people (like myself) continue to tune in every year, even when there is always going to disappointment or snubs? Is it all just arbitrary? These are the same questions I ask myself, so this would an interesting debate to look into. – Rachel Watson10 years ago
