the oscars maybe tell you something about what people are talking about today, and that has some weight for sure but it's not really the end all be all of aesthetic judgment, and it certainly has little to do with academia.
i mean. here we were talking about goodfellas and how great it is a quarter of a century later.
you know what won the oscar that year?
dances with wolves.
