While I think you are right in terms of how many broad-appeal movies are of high quality being less now, I also think there has been a divergence in the tastes of the Academy compared to the tastes of the public.

Did everything for the movie Dales Jul 24, 12:11

it's not the Academy's job to pander to Joe Sixpack. and plenty of Oscar winners have their box office fortunes improved by the awards {nm} slipping jimmy Jul 24, 12:00

I don't think that, in the 50s-80s, they were pandering to Joe Sixpack. {nm} Dales Jul 24, 12:11

or, the movies studios made for Joe Sixpack were just much better quality in general {nm} slipping jimmy Jul 24, 12:12

Though it may be the public tastes that have changed, not the Academy's, based on what movies it is not possible to make RogerMore Jul 24, 13:35

It is a peer vs populism question. The Academy exists as a peer group, awarding their fellows for what they think ... gsquared Jul 24, 12:51
