I watch the Oscars to learn. When watching I learn about 3 things. 1. I gain insight into the film business. When watching, I pay attention to all the award winners. Especially when they give their speeches, they truly give insight into the film business. Little things that award winners say give insight into the business. Whether it be A-list to C-List actors, writers, and directors, they can all drop jewels in their speeches. Just watching last night, an award winner, I can't remember who, said that they'd been "Stuck In Development all their life." This means that all their projects where "In Development," never actually completed. That's revealing, it's tell you something the movie industry.
The second thing I learn is some people's characters. When watching, I learn a lot from people's facial expressions. Let's say a actor, actress, director, or writer wins and a fellow actor actress etc. doesn't stand up to clap. That shows me how that person feels and how they react to other people winning besides them. That shows conceited and jealous characteristics. Characteristics that I'm not fond of.
The third thing I learn is how the Academy feels about every movie. I learn this through the selections made by the Academy for each film category. Sometimes I agree and disagree with the Academy's choices. However, it's what they decide and I get insight into how the feel about the movies. These are just some reasons why the Oscars are cool. But like any other award show it's job is to entertain, but with my family we learn.
