These are the movies which won "Best Picture," over the last ten years starting at 2013: 1) Argo 2) 12 Years a Slave 2) Birdman 3) Spotlight 4) Moonlight 5) The Shape of Water 6) Green Book 7) Parasite 8) Nomadland 9) CODA 10) Everything, Everywhere, All at Once.
Not only were most of these movies not good performers at the box office, once the hype of winning was over, they flopped completely in subsequent revenue streams such as Amazon, Hulu, Netflix, and On Demand.
So, what exactly makes for a "Best Picture" movie? Certainly not popularity. But one thing most of the movies above have in common is that they're talking down to the audience with various woke initiatives. I certainly don't mind if people want to create these types of movies, but I consider it very shady to attempt to make people think they're good movies when they aren't even close.
These are some of the movies which won "Best Picture," before the run of wokeness began: 1) Gladiator 2) A Beautiful Mind 3) Chicago 4) Lord of the Rings 5) Million Dollar Baby 6) Crash 7) The Departed 8) No Country for Old Men 9) Slum Dog Millionaire 10) The Hurt Locker which barely beat out Avatar.
Not only did most of these movies do great in the Box Office they've been watched countless times on other outlets, so they've brought in a lot of revenues. If Russel Crowe is getting any royalties from the movie Gladiator, he won't have to work another day in his life as it's still being watched repeatedly.
So, what happened? The Academy used to get it right in many cases but now they honor movies which are basically flops when compared to what other movies have done.
My message to all movie and television producers is to bring back entertainment and stop trying to use propaganda in an attempt to influence my ideology. I get enough of that all around me, I look to them for an escape from all of that. If they don't change their strategies, they will become more and more obsolete.
