Awards are always a popularity contest, nothing more. And this is proven even more so with the confirmation that the Academy members for the Oscars don't even need to see any movies and just vote for which is critically the most popular and well-known. It's unsurprising, just disappointing.

In a way I can understand the frustration, writer's block, feeling a kind of resentment of being forced to finish something when your heart isn't in it anymore. It's something all writer's and any creator of art feels from time to time. But that's the extent of my level of understanding, tbh.
