The Academy's decision mandating Oscar voters to watch all nominated films before voting has sparked conversation about the past integrity of the voting process. The article discusses how many voters have shared questionable reasons for their choices, exposing gaps in their dedication to evaluating art. Moreover, securing nominations remains a challenge for lower-profile films, as a significant portion of voters may not see them until after nominations are made. The suggested honor system for tracking what voters watch raises further questions about its enforceability and the sincerity of voter compliance.
If you're looking for people to be focused on art rather than vibes, you're already destined to be disappointed. It raises concern about the integrity of the voting process.
Variety put out sight-unseen guesses about next year's Oscars in March, a year before the ceremony, indicating how Oscar votes are rarely made on a blank slate.
