General discussion about Oscar (and other award ceremonies really), in that, has the prestige, value and above all, honour of winning an Oscar or equivalent lost it's merit ? it's heritage ?
Great accolade was made of winning an Oscar back in the 30's, 40's, 50's, the golden age of film making or perceived golden era, where winning would mean something, have a 'feather in the cap', now I'm not saying it's lost its importance but there doesn't seem to be the career defining 'wow' factor these days with it, in a 'it'll never get better than this' feeling too it all, in fact, quite the opposite, it appears to have a 'deathnail' effect for some, Cuba Gooding Jr, Berry etc.
Any thoughts ?
