The Academy Awards are a popularity contest. If you don’t like who got the award, get into a job classification that is eligible to be invited to join the Academy and vote for your choice in the category you are eligible to vote for (Not everyone in the Academy can vote in every category)
At the end of the day these awards are for rich celebs to pat other rich celebs on the back. Audience opinion and box-office $$ mean very little, if anything to those voting. There is a word some people use to describe such things but I don’t want to be banned from comments so I’ll leave it to your imagination.
Dear John, I know exactly what you mean. At least “Black Panther” didn’t leave empty-handed. And “Spider-Man: Into The Spider-verse” won for Best Animated Movie.
Still, “Black Panther” winning Best Picture would have completed a great tribute to Stan Lee…

Since I didn’t watch the awards, who got best picture instead?

Sorry, but Black Panther is average at best – and Green Book is most definately deserving of winning.

Dear John,
You ain’t alone.

Can’t comment on them as I haven’t seen either one – or any of the movies up for any of the awards. Been a while since I saw a movie in a theater.

His excuse is he was helping out in sales. There’s always a customer that wants something that can’t be referred to by name to be kissed.
