Let’s face it, this year’s Oscars race was a pretty low interest affair, at least as far as actual cinema goers are concerned. While Anora was a great indie flick, it had very little following, being the smallest grossing film to win the big prize since The Hurt Locker in 1990.
Not that box office returns should be the primary way to judge a film’s worth but the problem comes when richly deserving, highly artistic films are snubbed because they also have been immensely popular at the box office.
