Do most of the films nominated in the Oscars line-up this year really represent excellence in cinema?
When the 93rd Academy Awards aka the Oscars run live, take a moment to reflect and look past the bizazz and the pageantry, past the jokes or the woes of the film industry’s state of forced hiatus because of Covid-19, and past the self-congratulatory hoo-hah of racial and gender inclusion in the nominees.
Look past all of these aspects, and ask the question: do most of the films nominated in the Oscars line-up this year really represent excellence in cinema especially in a ceremony whose motto is to celebrate and award excellence (the word ‘excellence’ is repeated in press releases and speeches from the Academy).
