No, it proves that they CAN do well, which is literally what I said in very explicit terms. There's absolutely no reason why blockbusters can't also be award-winners and pretending you have to pick between one or the other is a great example of a false dilemma. Titanic, one of the biggest blockbusters of all time, also won ELEVEN Oscars.

That's all well and good if the Oscars gave the same credit to large budget movies, the Oscars don't like movies that usually take big budgets.

You act like the Oscar committee treats all films equally when they really prefer movies that are about things that don't take a $200 million dollar budget to make. Shit the only reason most of the bigger budget films get nominated is the regular people were always upset that in 99% of years none of the movies everyone went and see got nominations for best picture.

I mean I guess they could have spent $250 million dollars making something like Green Book or Moonlight but the majority of the money would go to just actors since those movies did not need large budgets to be made. Remember kids the people that actually have the power to vote in winners in the Oscars are mostly in their 70's+ and they aren't down with what the kids like.
