Martman posted:Ordinary People feels kind of like... prototypical of what was later viewed as Oscar bait maybe? And I really loved it but it's been a while. That movie gets so much poo poo for being obvious Oscar bait (and yeah, it is) but it's really good as far as those go. Mary Tyler Moore, man. Relevant trivia, I believe The Deer Hunter is considered the first Oscar bait movie, as its marketing campaign and release schedule were based entirely around trying to rack up as many awards and nominations as possible.

Not sure you can revoke an award when it's a tangible object. I suppose you could go "give it back or we'll punish you" but, eh, better to just skip to the punishment.

Parakeet vs. Phone posted:Fun fact I had to look up cause I only half-remembered it, but there's a whole thing where you kind of don't own the physical statue. Good to know, thanks. Parakeet vs. Phone posted:That said, If it had been revoked, I'd be curious if he'd still technically be the winner or if 2nd place would move up. I know in the past when winners have refused their awards the academy didn't go and give it to the runner-up. I'm actually not sure whether they're still technically considered the winner or if it's counted as "no award this year" and whether the same principle would apply to a case of revocation, but in any case I can't see them going and awarding someone else, it'd be forever tainted with "*not the REAL winner."
