- Hey everyone! For this video, I decided to take a look at the dark world behind the Oscars. From the movies all the way to campaigning and how people in Hollywood win these awards. This was a super interesting story to uncover. Hope you all enjoy :)

Your video production and quality are insane. Keep going. People will recognize your talent.
Seriously,,, a brilliant dissection of the oscars.…. Clicked on your video just after seeing the ceremony and you gave me such a quality insight of this subject
really appreciate it! thanks so much for watching :)
bro, how in the fuck do you only have under 14k subs, as even blind people can see that you deserve millions with such quality videos. Bravo!
thanks so much dude!
I don't think they're completely irrelevant or worthless. I probably wouldn't have watched moonlight if not for the oscars.
All I want to say is that The Oscars are important for the industry but not necessarily for the moviegoers.
Feels like a lot of these comments are unnecessarily negative. I think your video was a great deep dive into a topic I really didn’t know much about. I love your content, keep up the good work :)
thanks so much! ya not totally sure why either, looks like I struck a nerve with some people
The best films are the films you liked most that year. Nothing else. They're the ones that deserve recognition. Art is subjective, and no one "awards show" can objectively choose the best.
The Oscars, and other award shows, are currently culturally important/influential, and historically the same. Their history tells us a lot about the people and money that runs the Hollywood machine, and how separated it can be from the world's numerous international films and film as art.
As long as they hold cultural conversations and people give them their time and engagement, the Oscars will be important. No matter how rigged, how snubbed many are, how badly animation is treated, or out-of-touch jokes or segments are.
The people who truly feel honoured for a win or nomination, the rare honouring of filmmaking in a proper tribute light, the recognition for films that people might never have watched otherwise, and the little bits of genuinely funny comedy, ("Weird Al's" Guide to the Grammys is a highlight,) and real emotion are special, and worth seeing. (Roberto Benigni's and Ke Huy Quan's Oscar Acceptances are touching...!)
We shall how long they last. I hope they can become better then themselves.
I surprised myself reading Miles Edward's thoughts, I changed my mind from hating the Oscars to simply disliking them... Thanks Miles!
Oh yeah! I like the editing, design elements, and presentation of the video though!
Should have had everyone applaud when you said they don't matter. Becoming a massively popular opinion.
I feel like a lot of the time videos like this are kind of just cynical for the sake of it and don't actually consider why the Oscars may be important. The Oscars aren't important and don't matter when it comes to what films you're allowed to enjoy obviously, but I find it exceptionally narrow minded when people focus on this. The Oscars are important as a cultural and historical artifact, and often show what the pervasive thoughts of the era were- both culturally and in cinematic trends. The fact that money is a defining factor also documents a lot about who and what was deemed of relevance in order to justify a campaign. They're an important part of Hollywood history, and I think generally they're more important years down the line then they are right now. It just feels rather reductive to say they don't matter at all. They also very much matter to those who win and are nominated because they're a badge of honour amongst their peers. So yeah, don't want to be overly critical cause a lot of the points you're making are valid but it doesn't seem like a fair assessment to me...
Shakespeare In Love.
Just go see the nominees for that year, just force yourself to watch the other nominees, and tell me the Oscars matter.
Its not the best film of that year by any stretch but thats exacrly what the Oscars are about. Shakespeare in Love winning was the ultimate victory for Miramax's campaigning and it shows the history of the film industry. Its not a great film and it shouldnt have beat Saving Private Ryan, but its still an important part of cinema history thats captured by the best picture win. Its actually one of the most important wins in the history of the Oscars because it, more than most winners, really shows the influence of Harvey Weinsteins campaigning for better or worse. Just cause you dont like the film doesnt mean its not an important win @@PanAndScanBuddy
Thank you for your thoughts, it affected me a lot and inspired me to write about it...! thank!
Totally didn't mean to be overly cynical in the video. I honestly love the oscars and have fun with it every year. I really just wanted to dissect how the Oscars work and how people win them. Definitely agree that they're an important establishment, especially for the people who aren't as famous. I think I was just being provocative or cheeky at certain points in the video :) Thanks for the well thought out comment!
You just jealous because you haven't got an Oscar yet boo
No offense but it's been known for a long time that the Oscars are a popularity contest.
