The viewership of the Oscars is less than half of what it was a decade ago, and yet the award ceremony dominates celebrity media more than ever. The films themselves are almost secondary to what the awards represent, which is... racial equality? social harmony? proof that our democracy is working? Unclear. People take sides in the awards so much that Emma Stone was threatened with cancellation immediately for winning Best Actress over Lily Gladstone. Nico and Jessa dig into the discourse and imagine a better, less "important" award ceremony for the future.
