@Maki: Those 2 are from the 80s (86 and 82 respectively). Hollywood wasn't as greedy and corrupt back then compared to now.

@Guy: My issue is that Hollywood's judges and many of it's critics prefer either things that pander to them (Birdman), movies that fill their egos, and whatever director and actor pays the most cash, over the actual quality of the movie.

A movie can be total shit, or can be good, but when those 3 factors appear either individually or all at once in said movie, it will get Oscars/Whatevers even if many other movies deserved it more in the categories it won, or even if the movie was not that good, just because of those very reasons.

Now, don't get me wrong. I'm not saying every Oscar winner must do those 3 things to get an award. You can avoid them and still be nominated or even win, but the movie must be seriously outstanding for that to happen. And good luck beating movies of similar quality whose directors paid more cash.

It's like with "profesional" game reviewers these days, from different websites, who review mainly on money and with the game's actual quality being secondary most of the time. In some cases, like IGN, it's practically a meme. Only difference is that this tends to apply in movies mostly to the award judges, not just every critic.
