I don't think the rhetorical point was one is more prestigious than the other, it's just that they're industry award shows with overlap and different voting members and industries in question (e.g. Oscars covers film, Golden Globes film and television).

Vampire Panties posted:quick reminder that the oscars chose Shakespeare In Love for Best Picture in 1999, over contender Saving Private Ryan. The Green Mile wasn't nominated, nor was Fight Club The Green Mile and Fight Club were released in 1999, whereas Shakespeare in Love and Saving Private Ryan were 1998. Although American Beauty winning for 1999 was also pretty weak.

The Academy has its own head up its rear end, saying that it reviews movies based on the 'art', so movies that are movies don't go as far - except the farthuffers absolutely adore movies about Hollywood

I think the Oscars' (Oscar's?) prestige is due as much to effective marketing as anything else. Every awards show on Earth is literally 100% straight up complete non-filtered bullshit. The Oscars seems prestigious because they do all those reaction takes of celebrities. If the camera showed the stage all the time then nobody would have ever given a gently caress about the Oscars.

mannerup posted:may have to subscribe to this theory, 1995 had MTV award it to Pulp Fiction over Forrest Gump, 2000 had MTV award it to The Matrix over American Beauty and the Lord of the Rings trilogy swept 2002-2004 in the MTV awards over A Beautiful Mind and Chicago. These all make sense. T2, Matrix and LotR were technical marvels in addition to being quality action, the effects hold up better than more recent movies that don't even try. Pulp Fiction actually puts effort into its narrative elements and has great character interactions, compared to Tom Hanks just sleepwalking through boomer nostalgia.

I used to really be into awards shows when young (except The Tonys!), but dropped it for a loooong time. But I legit watched and rooted for Mad Max Fury Road to win. It was a good haul but I was hoping against hope for Best Director. Alas.

The Oscars is an industry award show by and for the industry to award achievements in the industry and to promote and expand the industry. It's why they're often given out politically, like ok maybe this actress didn't give her best role this time but compared to the others this round it was pretty good and we haven't given them one yet, it's time. It's not about art other than film is an artistic medium. It's also why in the 80s and 90s you see a lot of films getting oscars for special effects that are absolute garbage movies and also seem like garbage effects now because whatever the gently caress they're talking about re: special effects was a good technical achievement at the time.
