Are The Oscars Rigged? | The Art Of Film | Insider

Little secret about the oscars: most people in the academy haven’t seen all the all films they’re voting on

[dinahgraham]

In recent years, the Oscar's has become less about talent and more about either popularity or social opinion.

[GRGKA]

its a bunch of famous people giving awards to themselves

[liesiekelly]

the biggest disappointment for me was that Hereditary was robbed BIG time. Toni Collette gave the most raw, emotional performance of 2018 and wasn’t even acknowledged. BUT, because it’s a horror movie and doesn’t have “relevant” political commentary, it was overlooked. Soooo that’s why i’m not tuning into the Oscars yet again this year.

[Eric-shok]

The music industry is no different. Really sad.

[princessthyemis]

Shakespeare in Love won over SAVING PRIVATE RYAN?!?!?!?!?!?!?!?!?! COME Edit: OH MY GOSH a thousand, one hundred people liked my comment?! MOST EVER!! And even started a discussion in the replies! Wow!!!!

Oscars should be about the BEST in cinema. Not fulfilling political quotas and essentially bribing officials so that your movie can place. Change my mind.

I'm really annoyed how people keep saying that the Oscar used to be good because it celebrated talents and all that stuff.
It's NOT, the Oscar has always been an industry game since its inception. Campaigning or not, studios have been using it to promote their brand as early as the 1930s, whether it be a film or an actor.
They even have their own sets of rule at that time, this is why a lot of early Oscar-winning films are just straight up trash (Broadway Melody, Cimmaron), and why actresses like Babra Stanwyck and Greta Garbor never win, because they don't play by the rules.
It wasn't untill late 1940s-1950s when the Oscars became less trashy because they started nominating (classic) foreign films (which often lost to Hollywood mediocrity anway), and the late 1960-1970s when New Hollywood started to emerge
Edit: I'm not saying all 1930s Oscar winning films are bad, just that a lot of them are

This is the reason why Gravity got 8 Oscars and Interstellar got only 1 .

[riotbreaker]

This is why DiCaprio didn't get an Oscar until about 3 years ago.

Time has proven that the audiences decide by time which movies are better not awards or Oscars, even not the critics of the time who are easily bought or work for magazines owned by the same people who own the studios,
Take as an example a movie like: The Good, The Bad & The Ugly which didn’t get nominated or win any Oscar and was panned by critics of that time, it is considered a cinematic masterpiece, a classic and one of the best movies of all times,
Did it win an Oscar?
Who one an Oscar that year for best picture?, a movie called: A Man For All Seasons, it’s not bad but just a good meh movie, who remembers it?,
Who calls it a masterpiece?
What is the percentage of people who seek watching it after 50 years or even talks about it after 50 years comparing to The Good, The Bad & The Ugly??,
Point is that time proves Whats best or not!, not critics of that time, not major film campaigns, not YouTubers, not studious, and certainly not the Oscars, time and only time.

If you're going to make a video about how the Oscars are rigged, you should probably talk about how the Oscars are voted for and how it is actually rigged. instead of just naming patterns, explain why those patterns occur due to the voting algorithms

[arunasolanki]

If _The Oscars_ won't be supporting pure talent & art, it's useless. But it's the reality a movie with 6 academy wins is more likely to be watched by people than one which isn't even nominated. I considered Oscars to be a standard for movies, directors, actors etc. but once you know what's behind those curtains, it fades away...


*MARKETING STRATEGY*

[Alpha-Andromeda]

The Oscars are not and have never been about praising good “Art” they are and have always been about praising good “Motion Pictures” and that means Kind of like giving an award for Best Mine in the World and you making a video denouncing how “Mine awards are not about praising Nature”. Well. No.
SOME Oscar winning films can be good Art but that’s a coincidence.

[dakritic]

“Saving Private Ryan” losing to Shakespeare in love, is by far one of the most demeaning decisions Oscar voters have ever made.

[sunhengtain]

This is a very honest and yet well put together video.

[nateds]

Great analysis. Saving private Ryan and Shawshank got robbed.

[ParzivalTheThird]

Ah, yes. Now I understand why my latest video, of me ramming a stale baguette through a door, wasn’t nominated.

[Ella-gbno]

holy crap at 6:24 did anyone notice they changed the movie names? like the post is now the post mail, lady bird is man bird, and darkest hour is brightest hour? the shape of water is the shape of fire, get out is get in, cmbyn is now call me by your name, dunkirk is dunkerk, and phantom thread is spooky thread??? i literally searched up man bird on google to see if it was a real movie or not haha, edit: oh they wrote "*not real movies" at the bottom

[siddharthnaagar]

I'll never know why and how Meryl Streep gets nominated over and over and over and over and over again😪😪😪
