Once again, I return to you with a post that has almost nothing to do with foreign steamy romance. (I do have my pick for Best Foreign Film here, so that’s got to count for something.) But before I get to my predictions, I thought I’d throw this question out there—do the Academy Awards still matter? Sure, the poster tells us that they’re “the biggest movie event of the year”—and I guess that’s pretty much true. But what do they actually mean, and are we still as entranced by the results? I’m actually asking here, and not only because I want to know if my goal of watching every single film nominated (I failed) has been for naught. Am I blindly following that golden idol, or are the Academy Awards—despite the snubs and questionable nominees—still going strong?
But enough about that. Let’s just pretend that they’re vitally important for the sake of this post.
