Read about Moonlight this morning. I guess there's a bit of irony there, but I really don't care.
Maybe I need to watch it again, although the main reason I don't watch the Oscars is, I really only care about three awards - Picture, Actor, Actress.
And it lasts as long as the Super Bowl with MUCH less entertainment value. I don't care about the speeches, even if they're long drawn out thank you's.
I'm annoyed at the ever increasing pattern of releasing Oscar contenders right before or in some cases, AFTER the awards, into theaters.
I've certainly noticed a pattern of "movies for the masses" - and "movies we make to get awards".
More and more, movies that win accolades just don't sell as well at the box office, which leads me to believe that Hollywood has a very different idea of what a good movie is than I do.
