Anytime there’s rare good news with the Academy—Amy, Regina, and Wanda are fun choices to host!—another decision comes along to prove it has no idea why people watch the Oscars.
There are ingredients on hand this year for the Academy to produce an entertaining and popular show. Yet, as it consistently has done in recent years, and to its own detriment, it has also made a slew of maddening and desperate decisions to pander to some mythical audience it thinks it’s losing out on by producing an Academy Awards telecast instead of an MTV Movie Awards.
Maybe that, technically speaking, means that less people care about the Oscars, and that they’re, again technically, less relevant. But that’s the case with just about everything these days. It ain’t personal, Oscar! There’s a pendulum swing back and forth between extremes each year, with the show reacting to what it presumes the audience wants and then retreating in the other direction when that fails.
It was born out of the idea that if those huge movies won awards during the telecast, the droves who bought tickets to them would tune into the show. The whole thing wasn’t just antithetical to what the Oscars were supposed to represent—a curated and inclusive ceremony voted on by experts, artists, and industry insiders. It undermined its own legitimacy, suggesting that the Academy hasn’t properly been doing its job because these films weren’t nominees.
People who watch the Academy Awards each year do so because they want to see the best movies honored. They want a loving celebration of the year in film. They want opulence and glamour and Hollywood escapism. They want to be clued into performances or projects they missed because speeches, montages, and clips moved them. They want to see a show, to be entertained by a spectacle produced by the best creative minds in the world.
