Academy Awards page
The Academy Awards, also commonly known as the Oscars, are an award show that awards the best achievements in film, with the first edition being held in 1929, for years, they were considered a great ceremony despite some controversial winners, however, their drop in quality has been more notable in recent years (particularly since the mid-2000s), with the latest editions being the most notable ones

Why They Suck Now

 * 1) One of the most infamous flaws about the Oscars is the fact that most winners have been decided by popularity instead of actual quality, on top of that, multiple winners have been underwhelming, causing many people to think they snubbed a losing film, examples include.
 * 2) * Cars losing to Happy Feet in the 2007 ceremony despite being generally agreed that Cars is the better film.
 * 3) *The Lego Movie notably being excluded from the Best Animated Feature category at the 2015 ceremony.
 * 4) *Gleen Close’s infamous snubs, which caused a particularly mean nickname at the 93rd ceremony, “Gleen-Too-Close”
 * 5) *The infamous moment where The Boss Baby was nominated for Best Animated film at the 2018 ceremony that caused lots of rage among those that wanted films like The Lego Batman Movie, Captain Underpants, Your Name, and A Silent Voice to get a Best Animated Feature nomination.
 * 6) *Demon Slayer: Mugen Train being snubbed at the 2021 ceremony.
 * 7) Incredibly unfunny attempts at humor, especially during the most recent ceremony.
 * 8) A lot of controversies have happened during the award's recent history, including:
 * 9) *The La La Land and Moonlight mix-up during the 2017 ceremony.
 * 10) *The Will Smith slapping Chris Rock incident at the 2022 ceremony.
 * 11) *Halle Bailey, Lily James and Naomi Scott (and even Amy Schumer) calling the medium of animation “a genre kids enjoy and adults endure", during the 2022 ceremony, which is not only insulting to animation fans, but also the animators behind the animated films that were previously nominated for Best Animated Feature not just the animated feature nominees in that ceremony since they were practically thrown under the bus and being labelled as the creators of kiddie fodder, up to the point where Phil Lord and Christopher Miller called the Academy out for this.
 * 12) **Speaking of, this clearly shows how hypocritical the Oscars really are as they nominated Triplets of Belleville, Isle of Dogs, Persepolis, The Illusionist, My Life As A Zucchini, The Breadwinner, The Wind Rises, Loving Vincent, and Flee (which is nominated in the same ceremony that animation is being called a “kids genre”) which are all rated PG-13, Chico and Rita and I Lost My Body which, despite being unrated, also count as they are also adult animated films, and even Anomalisa which was rated R, for Best Animated Feature.
