Koks skirtumas kas gaus tuos Oskarus, galima pagalvoti nuo to filmas pageres jei gaus arba pabloges jei negaus. Jei Oskarui nominuotam aktoriui/asmeniui kas susijes su konkreciu filmu svarbu tas Oskaro gavimas valio. Eiliniam ziurovui idomu nebent moteru aktoriu sukneles ir koks dizaineris jas aprenge ir ka galbut aktorius arba aktore atsivede i Oskaru ceremonija kartu. Director William Friedkin at the Hudson Union Society Academy Awards as "the greatest promotion scheme that any industry ever devised for itself" http://fora.tv/2009/02/24/Director_William_Friedkin_at_the_Hudson_Union_Society#William_Friedkin_Says_Oscars_Simply_a_Promotion_Scheme Academy Award Criticism The Oscars are generally voted on by members of the entertainment industry; thus, important films that have had the most people working on them generally become nominated. Director William Friedkin, an Oscar winner and producer of the Academy Awards, spoke critically of the awards at a conference in New York in 2009. He characterized the Academy Awards as "the greatest promotion scheme that any industry ever devised for itself".[38] In addition, several winners critical of the Academy Awards have boycotted the ceremonies and refused to accept their Oscars. The first to do so was Dudley Nichols (Best Writing in 1935 for The Informer). Nichols boycotted the 8th Academy Awards ceremony because of conflicts between the Academy and the Writer's Guild.[39] George C. Scott became the second person to refuse his award (Best Actor in 1970 for Patton), at the 43rd Academy Awards ceremony. Scott explained, "The whole thing is a goddamn meat parade. I don't want any part of it."[40][41] The third winner, Marlon Brando, refused his award (Best Actor in 1972 for The Godfather), citing the film industry's discrimination and mistreatment of Native Americans. At the 45th Academy Awards ceremony, Brando sent Sacheen Littlefeather to read a 15-page speech detailing Brando's criticisms.[39] It has been observed that several of the Academy Award winners – particularly Best Picture – have not stood the test of time or defeated worthier efforts. On They Shoot Pictures, Don't They's comprehensive database of the 1,000 most acclaimed films of all time, only eight of the first hundred ranked films have won the Best Picture award.[42] Tim Dirks, editor of AMC's filmsite.org, has written of the Academy Awards, "Unfortunately, the critical worth, artistic vision, cultural influence, and innovative qualities of many films are not given the same voting weight. Especially since the 80s, moneymaking 'formula-made' blockbusters with glossy production values have often been crowd-pleasing titans (and Best Picture winners), but they haven't necessarily been great films with depth or critical acclaim by any measure."[43] The Academy Awards have also come under criticism for having a bias towards certain types of performances and film genres. The Best Picture prize has never been given to a film noir, science fiction or an animated film; and rarely are horror, fantasy, comedy and westerns recognized by AMPAS. Acting prizes in certain years have been criticized for not recognizing superior performances so much as being awarded for sentimental reasons,[44] personal popularity,[45] atonement for past mistakes,[46] or presented as a "career honor" to recognize a distinguished nominee's entire body of work.[47] "niece" <nice@nice.com> wrote in message news:hmqc07$2ai$1@trimpas.omnitel.net... > Nu tai kas laimes Oskarus? > > Filmas - Avataras > Rezisierius - Bigelow Aktorius - Jeff Bridges Aktore - Bullock > Antraplanis - Waltzas > Antraplane - Monique > Scenarijus - Basterdai > > Viskas kaip ir logiska...
