Movies Still Matter, and so does the Academy Awards

hollywood.com:

Here’s a pop quiz for you. What are the common denominators for some of the movies that came out in 2020 & 2021, including many that are nominated for the 2021 Academy Awards?Let me give you a hint: this question has more than one answer.#1: all of these movies were made – written, produced, directed, the whole nine yards – before anyone ever saw the coronavirus pandemic coming.#2: the shuttering of movie theaters around the world over the last year prevented millions of moviegoers from watching these movies on a big screen.#3:  obviously without ever intending to do so, more than a few of these movies somehow manage to mirror our current global emergency. #4: the best of these movies are about personal odysseys. They’re about humanity.
