According to The New Yorker, sentiment has always defected predictions. 2020 Academy Awards might put aside your hope of expected nominations as scepticism is more overt than ever before. The absence of Adam Sandler and “Uncut Gems” from the nominees, Greta Gerwig or any other woman in the Best Director category, the scant presence of black actors—has hardly mattered in the slightest to the Academy.
The only thing of concern this year with “Joker” is for superheroism and other franchises to be represented on the broadcast, targeted towards the huge cluster of millennials which is why they floated a Best Popular Film award in 2018—before holding off.
The studios were never sensible at recognizing the enduring works of art apart from the romantic melodramas, loopy comedies, crime dramas, musicals, and Westerns which too were sometimes overlooked as frivolous. Because the fitting criteria lie in their serious intent and the self-important proclamation.
