If Dewayne gets an Oscar then the whole thing is a sham.
Hollywood running its own rewards shows has always been the Obama putting a medal on Obama meme...
In fact, rewards ceremonies for most things are nothing but BS. Very, very few are actual rewards that seriously considered all applicable content, and even fewer serve a purpose beyond ego inflation.
I think it's more about increasing perceived value. I've definitely seen professionals literally just paying for awards.
Oh, perceived value... I guess that would be the outward side of ego for individuals like celebs. lol Only so many careers where those two can go hand in hand. (although under very much NOT meritocratic capitalism, ego goes a lot further than it should...)
lol, that’s your line? The whole thing has been a sham from the beginning.
