I don’t have a take on the Oscars slap. Or a better take. I was at the Oscars, as a member of the Academy and in my role as TIFF’s CEO. And I was as shocked as anyone. But in the long days of online discourse since, as opinions have fractured along so many cultural fault lines, I don’t have anything useful or juicy to add.
Watching this year’s show, and watching the evolution of Best Picture Oscar winners over the past decade, it’s becoming clear that the hostility toward some Oscar films is becoming as aggressive as that Will Smith-Chris Rock moment. As online debates about movies take on more and more of the rage and impatience of the broader culture wars, it’s worth looking at how we got here, dividing ourselves into brawling camps, like The Outsiders, or Hunger Games alliances, or surviving members of the Yellowjackets.
