Since I am someone who is extremely interested in music, film and literature so it goes without saying that the award season is something I look forward to a lot.
Recently I saw the Golden Globe Awards where "Slumdog Millionare" swept up everything while the television industry was ruled by HBO. All I can think at this point is the fact that usually these award shows end up being biased towards certain things more than others. For instance let's take the case of Slumdog, it might be a great film but that doesn't mean its great in all different aspects. Moreover due to this reason many great films like the amazing "Benjamin Button" get ignored.
On the other hand there are the Oscars. But here also currently I see lots of monopoly or rather Oligopoly of three film including:
The Curious Case of Benjamin Button 13 nominations
Slumdog Millionare 10 nominations
Milk 8 nominations
So again I forse a rather one-sided approach. In my opinion such practices end up tarnishing the overall image of Hollywood.
What do you think?
