If you agree with their choices you say they got it right, but if you disagree of course they’re wrong because the whole point about choosing winners and losers is about individual choice. The Academy makes their decision based on the overall views on a small number of industry people.
Apart from a select few, nobody really thought that Avatar was the movie of the year, nevertheless more people have gone to see that movie than any other in history with dollars itching to leave their hands.
It’s difficult to understand why the movie companies need to spend tens of millions promoting the movie just when it comes to the Academy Awards nominations. Surely, if they all sent a DVD copy of their movie to all the people on the panel then they could just leave it to the people to watch the movie and make their own decisions Quite simply those tens of millions could be spent encouraging new talents, particularly screenplay writers, to the industry or even make donations to worthy world courses which are crying out for help. What’s morally right?
Is easy to see that both screenplay winners wrote in a certain style, that of almost a documentary; you feel you may have been watching nonfiction, but you’d be wrong.
So here’s where the awards went, whether you have the same opinion or oppose, these are the people will have their little statues on display for their family to impress friends for years to come.
