Netflix and the Oscars

-Removed-

A changing of the technological guard, exacerbated by commercial rivalry. There's a lot of loot on the line. The theater/film industry stands to lose billions in future: So, they're kicking and screaming.

Personally, I'm no longer interested in paying $13 for a ticket to see unoriginal, simplistic comic book characters on the big screen. I don't know, sitting captive on contaminated furniture bordered by inconsiderate neighbors noisily crunching on their $9 bags of popcorn has somehow lost its appeal.

Silent film stars once bad mouthed the "talkies" in a similar fashion.

Netflix should say the same to the Oscars.

Are we really thinking that they are meaningful? They have been devised as PR-gag and can be buried as such.

Edit: typos...

Sure but the Oscars are a load of pompous $hite anyway, so I don't think they'll mind not to be included.

It's really up to the people giving the awards.
