Oscars, like the Grammys or any other industry circlejerk awards, are more of a promotional tool than a reflection of true quality and prestige. That all being said, sometimes I agree with the Oscars. Like this year, from their shortlist of nominees Nomadland was my favorite and Frances McDormand is my favorite actress. Ignoring their shortlist, I probably would have chosen I'm Thinking of Ending Things as Best Picture myself. But yeah, I don't really give a shit about the Oscars, I don't watch them, and whether something wins or loses or whatever with the Oscars has no bearing on if I'll see it. The only effect the Oscars has on my viewing habits is if it happens to bring to my attention a film I wasn't aware of before (which is fairly rare considering I follow the festival circuit).
