The Hollywood Reporter guided a fascinating quiz last week: It queried a random sample of about 2,200 adults a simple question: What Movie made home the Best Depict Oscar last year?
A not-so whopping 20% of respondents got the right answer: “The Shape of Water.” By far the most difficult response, 58%, was: no clue.
Likely the reason is that a very high percentage of those 2,200 adults had not been able to gone to the movies to determine “The Shape of Water.”( I tried the quiz out on a range of friends and peers: Out of nearly 10 beings, merely one got the movie freedom, though another suggested it might have been “the one about the fish-man.”)
It is possibly too late for this information to aim anything to the producers of the upcoming Oscars show on February 24, but there are a got a couple of letters screaming out loud in these results: 1. Don’t count on the appeal of the year’s best situation to pull in hosts of spectators, because the odds are very high that few people are going to have seen that movie. And 2. Why on globe would it be a good intuition to bounce having person host the contest this year?
The trend has been all but cemented over the last decades or so that the year’s big honors have gone to beautifully crafted, smaller-budget movies, ones that used to be called “arthouse movies.”
