Are they still credible?

>>>still

They never were.

I do not find them credible in an objective stance of quality, but I do hope that my favourite performances are recognized.

Though said interest is more in the Nominations than who is awarded.

Bait thread move on.

>>81346419

They have as much credibility as any other award/award show...

Absolutely none...

all good films

>>81346622
It's fascinating to look at why which one was awarded. Each has a very distinct reason. And, while again I do not place any particular merit upon the statue, it does feel good to have some films officially recognized.

/tv/ will always complain:

mainstream movie:
>oscars are bought or have no artistic merit

indie movie:
>oscars are pushing a social agenda

>>81346622
>2007 - No Country for Old Men

The only good movie there.

Annie Hall over Star Wars is perhaps their most egregious mistake.

>>81346622
>2011 - The Artist

How the fuck did this win. It's so mediocre. There's a fucking Lassie scene for fuck's sake.

>not watching the Oscars purely for the live thread shitposting

"Still"... Yes, they are good, but they are not a great representation of film and cinema as a whole. Especially, since when you win an oscar you become an oscar selector.

>>81346419
Yeah, Grand Hotel, How Green Was My Valley, Mrs. Miniver, The Lost Weekend, From Here to Eternity, Around the World in 80 Days, The Apartment, West Side Story, My Fair Lady, Oliver!, One Flew Over the Cuckoo's Nest, Schindler's List, Titanic, A Beautiful Mind, Chicago, Crash, Slumdog Millionaire, The Hurt Locker, The Artist, 12 Years A Slave, Spotlight, and Moonlight all deserved their wins. Its an impeccable system not just industry favoritism and manufactured taste control.

You taking a shit on epics? Are you some kind of non-white faggot?

>>81346419
Sure they are, not as an objective or definitive system, but as their own institution, their own canon.
But here on sperg central, that's too much to get for most. So, it's a very easy thing to hate.
