I stopped watching the Oscars almost 20 years ago because I simply don't understand the criteria they're using to determine how one piece of art is better than another.

The one thing about the Oscars that bothers me is that most films that are nominated for best picture aren’t even released to most theaters. Some people don’t even have the ability to see these movies.

I think the Oscars should award projects made for the art, leaving out purely commercial endeavors. In my opinion, projects like Avatar where there's a whole franchise in the pipeline should be ignored by the Oscars. Surely there are talented people working on the project, but it is purely a commercial endeavor, not art in the sense I would normally understand it.

The Oscars are an advertising outlet for Hollywood. If it was pure industry achievement, they wouldn’t broadcast it publicly for entertainment.
