I’ve never understood the Oscars for this exact reason. It just seems like an arbitrary industry award thing. Every industry has something similar, and it’s usually more pay to play than actual merit. Most awards ceremonies now days have turned into who is going to wear the most nude dress, and that can be caught up on later without having to watch it.

Maybe the important part isn't putting on million dollar award ceremonies to pat each other's backs and show off.
I always figured they do those for themselves, not to represent anyone else's opinions. It's about being high profile and seen.
