Some Oscar voters admit they just press play on the screeners app to meet viewing requirements — then mute the audio or switch tabs “The app only needs to see that you watched it. It doesn’t know if you’re sitting there" (via Variety)

The entire history of The Oscars is tainted and should not be taken seriously by anyone anymore

How is it I can put more effort into watching these movies as a fan of movies than people who are expected to vote on them.

I can’t imagine having my opinion on movies actually matter in any kind of meaningful way and then just phoning it in like it’s a cyber security video for boomers at work.

oh so the oscars are a joke actually then. like this should mean nothing, their opinion and votes. I'm happy for deserving films to get it, but like... it sounds like a big nothingburger meant to be nothing but a big ad

Nah they need to do screenings for these voters to ensure they’ve watched the fucking films

Yikes 😬 that’s honestly so disrespectful to the filmmakers. Every frame of those films deserves better.

Fuck me! If you need people to actually watch them then sign me tf up. What is wrong with these people?!

Here’s the best bit. The academy can tell who watched the whole thing in theory lol.

I wanna be annoyed by these voters who are too lazy to even bother doing their literal job but this feels like a more "FFS Oscars, how stupid can you all be that you'd let your voting system have such a fatal flaw in it?" moment
apr 29, 2025, 10:02 pm • 4 0 • view
Perhaps they should hold multiple screenings at theaters and you can only vote if you go watch it & stay thru til the end...

They shouldn't be voters. I get that there are a lot of movies and no one has time to watch them all. But when it is your job to vote for movies for an award, you should be FORCED to watch them! No questions asked. Don't want to do it? Don't be a voter.

🙄😏 I don’t think you understand who is voting? The majority are not rich. They vote only in the category that they are qualified to vote in. I.e. makeup for make up, cinematographers for cinematography
apr 29, 2025, 9:57 pm • 0 0 • view
so animators have been voting on that category for years, yet we've mostly gotten Pixar and/or Disney winners for decades?

oscar winners automatically joins the academy and gets to vote each year, most of them are rich

One solution to find out who's cheating among the voters: ask them key questions from the movies storylines. Shouldn't be a problem if you've watched the nominated movies.

Just invite them all in one theater room and they have to watch it there. No phones etc. Maybe pen and paper. Or else just cancel the Oscars

Oscars then wonder why a lot of their viewership has flunked for the past few years and why it hasn't been increasing.

This is why we have so many shitty movies being made. Because there are a LOT of people involved in making them that don't even like watching them. And as a writer, that is demoralizing... but also not remotely shocking.
