Are the Oscars getting snootier?
I enjoyed this analysis at OverThinkingit.com of trends in the Oscars – in terms of how popular films compared to how likely they are to win, or be nominated. There is a very clear change around 2004 when the popularity of Oscar films fell through the floor.
It good to see someone getting out the figures instead of just winging for a change. Note that the figures can’t distinguish between whether the Oscars are snootier – or whether its movie-goers that are not going to the best films…
