Sorry you said no discussion but I couldn't resist.

Ive always felt that the Oscars are a brilliant propaganda and marketing machine for Hollywood, and nothing more. So its unsurprising that anything of quality is passed over, as happens quite often. They managed to sell this idea that there are 'best actors', 'best composers' etc., and a new one every year that too, as absurd as this is. But a brilliant sales idea nevertheless, resulted Hollywood dominating world cinema over a century.
