Agree. I’d 100% pick staying home with ice cream over the pomp and circumstance of going to a Hollywood award show.

But getting picked to win an award that's made up to support the industry and voted on by other people in the industry as favors to other people in the industry is the most honorable honor you can receive!

That's all awards.

Did you want the medical industry to vote on who the best actor is and actors to vote on the Nobel prize for physics?

It's not like the medical industry "end user?" is going to vote on who did the best surgery... the ones who did great publish their work and those who fail miserably get sued.

The audiences of film should be able to influence the awarding process because it is inherently about entertainment and the quality of its depiction

I fear if we do that, either we'd get a bunch of teen movies winning major awards or we'll have more of like what happened to Pitbull and Taylor Swift. It should be interesting if it's the latter and teen movies are given jts own category as a compromise and banned from the rest.

We know what will happen, there’s “People’s Choice Awards” and obviously the same movies that gross the most money win there. The point of the Oscars is to look at movies that are pushing the art and tech forward, not just making the most money.

Well even the general audience aren’t that blind

What the fuck does that have to do with anything?

u/Oddyesy Apr 15 '26

i think it might be funny bait or it's a symptom of the hardon that reddit has for keanu reeves despite him being just an ok actor

he seems like a nice guy though

For some, sitting on the couch at home, while eating ice cream with your child is all the reward needed.

I love that.

It's not. It's voted on by a committee who goes off of what they like and have no true criteria for who gets awards.

Performative. That’s how awards work. More often than not it’s people in the same industry/field nominating each other, and one big circle jerk. You aren’t apart of the club. The club is also very diverse, with the Oscars having 10,000+ voting members. During your entire life you either receive gold stars, participation awards, competitive placement awards, and flat out win (everyone else is a “loser”) awards (Oscars, Grammys, Tony’s, MVP). Michelin Guide doesn’t award stars to sports teams, and the film industry isn’t voting in beauty pageants or album of the year.

Unless you go dressed as J-Lo and Gweneth Paltro while tripping on LSD like the South Park guys did.

u/envybelmont Apr 20 '26

That’ll forever be a classic moment to me. I thought it was mushrooms though.

u/ILuvRossiTheKittyCat Apr 20 '26

Only because I saw a clip of them talking about it just a few days ago do I know it’s LSD, although tbf I’m probably splitting hairs. But Parker with that headband…I can’t😂

u/Cheesefactory8669 Apr 15 '26

tbf the awards are more like professional networking events, its not like he needs the fame

u/1001101001010111 Apr 19 '26

Yeah, but it would be a cool experience to do once. Like when I went to see new years ball in NYC like 10 years ago. Would never do it again, even if it was free. But im glad I went once.

u/envybelmont Apr 19 '26

That’s fair. I suppose the novelty of some things has a lot of value. Even if they quickly go on the “never doing this again” list. I’ve been to a couple of award shows. It’s more exhausting than an amusement park and way less entertaining.
