APPLE CAN'T SELL iPHONES IN CHINA  - The WAN Show Dec 14 2018

Now I’m sure a lot of you are sick of hearing about the Oscars.

You either don’t care and are starting to wonder why you clicked this video, or you

do care, and are deeply offended by the following statement: Nobody should care about the Academy

We say this as film lovers who have been burned one-too-many times by the Academy’s bizarre

choices, and we say it as philosophy students trying to understand how Crash could possibly

be considered the most significant film of 2004.

I’m trying to help you.I didn’t ask for your help did?”

But most of all, we say it as human beings who hate the media discourse surrounding the

Oscars so much we considered entering a sensory deprivation tank for the duration of this

What’s wrong with people celebrating how much they love Green Book?

The way we see it, the problem lies in the profound influence the Academy Awards have

Welcome to this Wisecrack Edition: The Oscars Were a Mistake

Every year, tens of millions of people tune into to see who will receive the film industry’s

But the Academy that doles out Oscars wasn’t just created to celebrate performances by

actors like Nicolas Cage in “Leaving Las Vegas.”

It was instead created to uh, pay people in the film industry less.

The year is 1926, and you’re Louis B. Mayer, a MGM studio mogul preparing to do the most

studio mogul-ly-thing of all: build a fancy Santa Monica beach house.

As recounted by critic and author David Thompson in Vanity Fair, Mayer wanted to hire some

MGM set designers to help construct his oceanside paradise.

But there was a problem: the set designers were just about to become part of Hollywood’s

first union, complete with new contracts that made them very expensive.

In case you were worried about the well-being of Mayer’s new home, he managed by hiring

a few pricey set designers and relying on cheaper laborers for the rest.

But the dude was more or less haunted by the idea that actors, directors and screenwriters

would follow suit and unionize for better wages.

So, he concocted a genius plan: he made his own union.

He beat them to the punch, creating an institution that could swoop up his opposition and stop

It was the historical equivalent of your boss giving you a giftcard to your local TGI Fridays

Mayer’s new institution was the Academy of Motion Picture Arts and Sciences The

If you think the long name sounds snooty, that’s the whole point, according to Thomson,

“It made you think the Academy had always been there, arranged by God and Harvard and and

Albert Einstein” and not a few cigar-smoking jerks looking for cheap non-union labor.

At its inception, the Academy was comprised of 36 actors, directors, writers, technicians

They were conferred elite status and the vague promise that working conditions in the industry

But while the Academy promised to create industry standards and handle labor disputes, it was

privately viewed as a way to render unions unnecessary.

On a broader level, the organization was dedicated to promoting a positive, wholesome image of

Hollywood during a decade plagued by industry scandals in the form of Charlie Chaplin’s

scandalous divorce or Fatty Arbuckle being tried for drunken manslaughter.

Anyway, these powerful, image-conscious folks had a fancy banquet in January of 1927.

The only thing the festivities were missing?

Something to make people feel even MORE special, a “legitimizing” factor, if you will.

As Mayer recounted to his biographer, “I found that the best way to handle

If I got them cups and awards, they’d kill themselves to produce what I wanted.

That’s why the Academy Award was created.”

Come 1929, the first awards were handed out in a 15 minute private ceremony.

These awards were also a way for the movie industry to affirm its own artistic importance.

On one level, this can be seen as obvious self-indulgence.

On another level, scholar Peter Decherney argues, it was a way to brand Hollywood talent

as “skilled artistry” rather than “labor,” in the process, rendering labor unions unnecessary.

Decherney argues that the award categories themselves created two separate classes of

Hollywood workers lowly laborers and “artistes.”

However, Mayer’s ingenious solution to the pesky union problem was ultimately doomed.

The economic turmoil of the early 1930s led everyone from actors to writers to directors

In a delicious twist, fledgling unions like the Screen Actors’ Guild, the Writers’

Guild and the Directors’ Guild boycotted subsequent Oscar ceremonies in successful

attempts to strongarm the Academy into negotiations.

Those unions remain powerful to this day.

Still, that annual love letter to Hollywood’s most glamorous residents would become one

of the most effective promotional tools of all time establishing American film as the

Increasingly fawning media coverage intensified America’s emotional investment in the movie

industry and especially, in the celebrities who win and lose shiny prizes.

As the cult of celebrity grew, obsessive interest in the fashions worn, the attractive dates

escorted, and the scandalous afterparties ballooned.

So now we know the shady origins of the Oscars.

But the real question is Are they even good at what they do?

After all, if your goal is to award artistic excellence, you’d hope said excellence would

Or at least do so better than, say the 1956 Best Picture Around the World in 80 Days or

While an Oscar award is pretty ubiquitously seen as a confirmation of artistic merit,

some decisions the Academy has made have cast doubt on the industry’s ability to appraise

“This seemed like a better idea in rehearsal”

Last year alone, controversy brewed over choices like Best Editing for Bohemian Rhapsody, a

film which IndieWire called “a masterclass in bad editing” and which even the editor
