    i see what you mean now, like the grammys sucking and having no real impact are why they are a 'better' awards show? i would agree w that

  2. Okay sure. I didn’t watch the doc lol but even if the whole thing isn’t about that, the Grammys seemed to affect the mindset of the biggest musician in the world. To say the winners and losers of those awards doesn’t have an effect on music the way winners and losers of the Oscar’s do movies seems a bit disingenuous
     
  3. The difference is just the volume of music we have comparatively to the volume of winners and movies being pretty different

    I remember learning a long time ago that the Grammys had a whole category for best polka album and that has always stuck with me.

    It isn't, though. Look at the ratings for both shows. One is significantly less important than the other.
     
  6. If ratings for the award show is the metric than neither of the awards are relevant at all

    aren’t they moving the Oscar’s to YouTube in like two years because of dwindling cable viewership?

    Higher ratings means more relevance, obviously. I think you already know all this stuff. It is common knowledge.

  11. Sure. Higher. That doesn’t mean they’re actually high though. In the grand scheme of things for a live event it is pretty low viewership and dwindling year after year.

    Well yes, that is true. A big indicator of that is how few of the movies nominated actually followed the traditional Oscar release strategy of opening in Los Angeles in December and then expanding out.

    It's chaos. Be kind. Prestigious

    One Battle > Marty > Sinners > Frankenstein > Hamnet > Bugonia > Sentimental > F1 > Train Dreams > Secret Agent

    F1 should absolutely not be nominated though, it's more just for the technical craft of it. The amount of product placement in that movie is fucking egregious though. Train Dreams and Secret Agent didn't click with me, but I'm not mad that they're in there. I really love 1-7 though.

    I do not have children. I do not use TikTok. I don’t listen to traditional radio. I have barely been out shopping for the last 2 months so haven’t heard it in a department store or something.
