Over the last two decades, the Oscars have mostly avoided rewarding blockbuster films that once dominated the awards. Industry experts explain why some big hits are left out.
The Oscars have never been exactly predictable, but Hollywood’s biggest night used to consistently reward crowdpleasers. In the ’90s, box office smashes like “Forrest Gump” and “Titanic” took home best picture, and original hits like “Ghost” and “Beauty and the Beast” reliably earned nominations for the top prize. But over the last two decades, the Oscars have largely avoided rewarding the blockbuster films that once dominated the awards.
“The Oscar pendulum swings between the gritty and the grandiose, just as popular tastes do,” said Loren PQ Baybrook, the editor-in-chief of the journal Film & History and a film professor who has taught at the University of Wisconsin Oshkosh. “Movies almost can’t help but lurch from one extreme to another … the same goes for the people behind the movies: the Academy of Motion Picture Arts and Sciences.” The films that wind up getting nominated for Oscars don’t have much in common these days.
