What can we learn from this year’s Oscars?

A question I find myself asking every year after the ceremony and winners are revealed.

Netflix bombed with winners yet again and another streaming service won BP before they did. Watch out for other streaming services like Amazon trying to replicate this in future years while Apple attempts to continue their dominance. Next year all Netflix seem to have is White Noise and Rustin, maybe they’ll change their campaign strategies.

Anonymous ballots do not mean anything in the vast majority of cases.

People were ridiculous for ignoring me when I pointed out how every Netflix movie up until, and including tonight underperformed at the Oscars. Just stop predicting them for Best Picture. Like seriously stop. I pointed this out MONTHS ago.

That nominations can be sometimes audacious but the actual wins are pretty stale and predictable.

Invite a married actor with marriage issues and watch the Ratings go up.

Social media is exploding right now.

I don’t think much, if anything, should carry over from year to year. If you went back in time to a day after the 2019 Oscars and told them that the year after Green Book they would give Best Picture to an anticapitalist Korean satire they’d think you were crazy. The Academy isn’t always static.

Never go by anonymous ballots.  People thought Penelope Cruz was winning Best Actress and look what happened!

Sticking to the movies with momentum works. They basically just rubber stamp winners.

The most disliked movie by the general audience isn’t going to slay a preferential ballot. Based on imdb, would have been the least embraced film by modern audiences since 1963’s Tom Jones.
