EP 28: DO AWARD SHOWS MATTER? (discussing Oscar nominations, Golden Globe nominations, significance of awards, etc)

Do award shows matter? Do we watch them or not? We discuss these questions and also briefly talk about the golden globes noms/winners, as well as the Oscar 2020 nominations. Do awards themselves matter in any way? Do we feel like the best movie of the year is usually nominated at least? How often, in our opinion, does the academy get it “right”?  we also talk about how award shows themselves have become more of a meme generator than anything else recently. do we feel like the goal of the academy is to actually pick the best in each category or is it more politically motivated?  articles mentioned by Payton: https://www.cartoonbrew.com/award-season-focus/definitive-proof-that-academy-voters-are-ignorant-about-animation-96680.html https://www.cartoonbrew.com/award-season-focus/proof-that-oscar-voters-are-clueless-about-animation-109456.html thanks for listening!
