voidfigure 1,612 Posted January 8, 2021 Share Posted January 8, 2021 1 hour ago, gypsy101 said: payola like they’re paid for? i don’t think that’s true Sadly yes, almost every award is planned way prior based on the nominee's prestige and US producers (with a few exceptions) pay the academy A LOT to get their film awarded. It happens with almost every festival or award show: in Italy we have Sanremo, which is an important musical festival, and even though they try to appear meritocratic, the winner is chosen based on how much money a label gave to the jury (approx. 200.000€ or more to win). That's showbiz, baby. Don't get me wrong, I still think many awards are well deserved and legally chosen, but see it this way: Timothée Chalamet gave a wonderful performance in Call Me By Your Name so his nomination was fair, but the movie was specifically made to gain the academy's favor. And I mean some money ran through production companies. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's about campaigning or capturing the current vibe and environment in the industry. They spread the wealth and give the award to another person who also deserves it instead of always awarding someone. I agree but they have changed recently, there were cases of payola before (when Weinstein was around, basically). Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

How come the amount of awards given to the most awarded female is only four? at the Grammys you can get four in one night never mind four across your whole career, why are the oscars very low with the amount of awards.

Akiki 3,900 Posted January 8, 2021 Share Posted January 8, 2021 5 Oscar... Sure... Keep dreaming. Two I can see. But more than that it's extremely unlikely Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
androiduser 7,438 Posted January 8, 2021 Share Posted January 8, 2021 it's the Oscars, not the Grammys, they are not handing them out easily. Another one would be an amazing achievement. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mel Gibson won for directing, Ben Affleck and Matt Damon won for screenwriting (so did Emma Thompson).... but most actors usually stay in the acting arena.

MOT 3,073 Posted January 8, 2021 Share Posted January 8, 2021 They're hard to win. I haven't even been nominated yet. Gucci will be really interesting, but I think Gaga has the goods. Don't forget, this woman is in no sense common-or-garden. She decided she wanted to be a popstar and look how that turned out. I'm putting her down for four.
