The most stupid awards in the history of the Oscars / a joke within a joke


According to the film correspondent of Fars news agency, the Oscar ceremony was held last night and it became the place of discussion and opinions of critics and movie lovers as always. The Oscar ceremony, which has been facing a significant decrease in television audience in the last few years, this year with its long and boring ceremony of more than 200 minutes, will probably record a lower than expected record in attracting the audience.

Last year’s ceremony received more attention due to the scandals that occurred after “Will Smith” slapped “Chris Rock”, but the 2023 Oscar ceremony, which was accompanied by the return of “Jimmy Kimmel” as a presenter, was not very surprising and controversial. The presence of the Donkey of the movie “Banshes of Inishreen” – which is one of the characters of this movie – on the Oscar stage was the only initiative of the Oscar organizers to attract the attention of the audience.

The former editor of Mahnameh 24, Hossein Meghazinia, published a critical note about Oscar 95 and the awards that were given on his personal page and wrote: In one of the most lively and well-paced periods in the history of the Oscars, a handful of the most stupid awards in the history of the Oscars were distributed.

Yes, I know it myself, you don’t need to remind me that the Oscars were not a criterion for judging the credit of films from the beginning, and giving stupid awards is a long-standing practice, but stupidity has a limit even though Napoleon did not say it.

We once accepted that the academy has a duty to appreciate big productions, because it is supposed to protect the cinema industry. Another era has come when we saw that the members of the Academy have become intellectuals and prefer to pay attention to independent and low-budget films or even films like Old Men, the Coens have no place.

Now we have reached the era when they officially, publicly and clearly put a film that contains a large amount of “justifiable and acceptable speech” at the top of the list, then, with ease, they tick in front of the names of all those involved. Rows, from top to bottom.

The result of enrolling 800 passionate cinematographers in the Academy every year and broadening the scope of members by inviting “minorities” is that every winner is amazed, expresses surprise, constantly jumps up and down and says look, a dream. I realized. Yes, dear lady and sir; These are gathered to make your dream come true, not to understand that a film with more cuts does not necessarily have a more skillful editing.

The winners themselves can’t believe that the Oscar ceremony has turned into a joke that doesn’t appreciate James Cameron and Tom Cruise, so that our hearts are supported by the cinema industry.

They don’t reward the actor, they reward the character. Consider Brendan Fraser’s award for that character, and Michelle Yeoh’s as well. Lydia Tarr is a disgusting person, so why should her actress get an award at all. Don’t expect the current Academy members to give you two lines about the difference between Cate Blanchett’s and Michelle Yeoh’s acting class, or to understand the importance of Austin Butler’s work in creating the character of Elvis.

Yes, I’m clearly angry because cinema is important to me, even though ceremonies like Oscars were never supposed to be decisive, but these awards give direction to the world’s cinema lovers, create an example and encourage a significant part of cinematographers to make custom hypocritical films.

The encirclement circle of cinema fans who miss the buzz and slogans is getting narrower day by day. They are suffocating us!
