The State of the Race: The Return of the “Oscar Movie”

The State of the Race: The Return of the “Oscar Movie”.

written by Sasha Stone on http://www.awardsdaily.com

What’s inside:

……..What is an “Oscar movie”?  Well, it’s what various Oscar pundits were banking on when they saw The King’s Speech in Toronto: it hit every note for Oscar — a period film, a bravura leading male performance by a beloved actor, a story that makes you care about the characters, and even a little Holocaust/World War II thrown in for good measure.

And “Oscar movie” is also one that does well at the box office, but not too well.  It does well with the critics but not too well.  It usually bespeaks the better qualities of human beings, our higher selves, our ideal selves.  It helps us out when times are tough by giving us a little tiny bit of hope in an otherwise cruel and cynical world.  An “Oscar movie” is the stuff of legends……

…..Finally, a word about the Academy snubbing Christopher Nolan. All I can say to that is what I said already on Twitter – if he wants the Academy to like him, to really really like him, he has to change the way he makes movies.  He has to dumb them down enough and make them sappy enough to get in one go.  Should he ever make that kind of movie he will win big.  But that would mean he’d have to stop making the kinds of movies he makes.  And that would be the bigger crime. It’s their loss, not Nolan’s….
