In addition, the Oscars are also used as a reference by filmmakers in determining the title of the film to be produced, because winning in the Best picture category is considered a sign that the film is a film that will be in demand in the market.
However, not all films that won awards at the Oscars were successful in the market.
Several films that won awards at the Oscars failed to meet audience expectations and ended as failures at the box office.
However, even so, the Oscar is still considered the largest and most prestigious film award in the world, which is considered a sign of appreciation for the best works in the film industry.
Even though it is considered the biggest and most prestigious film award in the world, the Academy Awards, or better known as the Oscars, are not without controversy.
Some of the controversies that have occurred around the Oscars include:
- Representation:
Representation is one of the controversies that often occur around the Oscars, especially in terms of representing filmmakers and actors from various backgrounds.
Many people feel that the Oscars do not fairly represent minority filmmakers and actors, especially in categories such as Best director and Best actor/actress.
One of the reasons why representation at the Oscars is often seen as unfair is because it is often filmmakers and actors from the same background who are selected as winners in the category.
This can lead to complaints from filmmakers and minority actors who feel unacknowledged and unappreciated by the Oscars.
Apart from that, there is also suspicion that the representation of filmmakers and actors from minority groups at the Oscars is influenced by factors other than the quality of the films being contested.
