I think "the best" is too subjective for an award that can encompass all of them.
There are indie awards, there are horror awards, there are animated awards,
there are regional awards. You have the "Peoples Choice" and film critic awards.
The Academy is limited to movies released in a theater in Los Angeles for seven
consecutive days - so that restricts many movies but it does represent the
film industry well. As Quality implies, the Oscar has never represented "the
best". It has always been publicity and popularity.
I cannot imagine how you could set up an award that judges all movies made
in a year and come up with the best made films.
Last night I saw all the nominated short films. Got me thinking about
THIS GUY
who said he has never heard of or seen a short film that interested him. I suspect
he'll never return to indietalk but I sure would be interested in his take on
those movies.
