Yeah, I suspect one reason the Oscars still have cachet is that it props up relevance of critics in an age when rotten tomatoes has commoditized them and social media WoM can do an end run around their opinions at the box office. Oscar candidacy is a rare thing they still shape.

I have this theory that all global awards schemes are modernist, and awards are not really viable in a postmodern culture with no universal false consciousness. At best they can be exercises in solipsism. Started with the Olympics and that’s kinda down firvthe count now.

It’s a subtle version of the “you cut the cake, I’ll pick the bigger half.” Awards rest on a powerful party legitimizing a calculus of merit, and a “fair” scheme of weak-party representation within it determining how to apply it. Falls apart when no party can “cut the cake”
