I honestly believe Disney (Lasseter, mostly) pulled some strings to have Spirited Away win. The Academy hates animated and foreign films so much, they need to be bribed to fork over a win to an foreign animated film (and an animated film by Japanese Walt Disney at that).
The Academy have always been douchebags (somehow Alfred Hitchcock of all people never won Best Director and when they gave him a lifetime achievement award all he had to say was "thank you") but at least back in the day they weren't Woke and the movies they would make to try to win Oscars weren't Woke.
Horror is a great example, Edgar Allen Poe is considered classic literature and that's as horror as horror can get, so why the bias against horror films?
Sometimes they just get shafted by circumstance too. The Lighthouse could have easily won Best Cinematography in most recent years but it's also hard to argue against 1917.
Didn't silence of the lambs when a Oscar or was that a golden globe? Either way i believe on that one. It only won because the award show was legit lying to itself that it wasn't a horror movie.
Silence of the Lambs swept the Oscars.
Ok so it was the Oscars and apparently it won more than one Oscar. Like I said the Oscars lied to themselves that silence of the lambs wasn't a horror movie.
Irony is that nowadays, Silence of the Lambs wouldn't get nominated for anything but the Razzies if it gets released at all. The Oscars (rightfully) praising the shit out of it in 1992 is hilarious compared to how much they virtue signal now.
Oh definitely. The movie would be acuaed of being transphobe because of Buffalo Bill

Hitchcock didn't care about awards. All he cared about was his vision, about making movies he wanted to make, same with Orson Welles. That's why i admire those directors. They had principle and integrity not like the pole polishers who worship at the altar of wokeness for fame and money of today.
Don't watch TV; stay with us on KF instead.
