In a different era, the Oscars were one of the premier events on broadcast television, a sort of entertainment equivalent of the Super Bowl.Even as the shows became boring for most Americans because of insufferable political speeches, there were still enough people who cared about movies and celebrities to tune in each year.
I used to be the annoying guy at work who would poll office mates who they thought would win Best Actor. Now I could not care less. Not one of those people on stage have ever turned down a private flight but they insist you should use a paper straw to save the environment.
"One Battle After Another" will sweep the Oscars this year because it's the perfect reflection of Hollywood sanctimony.
