Do you think giving the academy award for one guy for achievement in visual effects fair?
Q. There are thousands of creative people who work on a feature film for bringing a perfect 3D and VFX shot. But in the end a single person gets the fame and an academy award for achievement in visual effects. Is it fair or unfair
Asked by Terminator - Wed Jan 13 09:00:17 2010 - - 2 Answers - 0 Comments

A. Of course it is not exactly fair but someone has to be in charge of the effects dept and so the one or two or three people in charge are the ones honored. Ideally, I'm sure that the crew that helped them to capture those effects are brought along with them on the next movie and eventually those people not recognized are going to start advancing through the ranks and become heads of depts on new movies and eventually the most talented people will make their way to the top of the heap and will be the ones to receive the awards. I'm sure that just like in other businesses there are people who will unscrupulously hold back those talented underlings working for them. That's where the true unfairness comes in.

Can they compete with themselves for the Academy Award?
Q. Let's say a director manage to produce 2 good movies in a year or an actor/actress act well in 2 good movies. Can the actor or director be nominated for best actor or best director for each of the 2 different films? Can he/she be competing with himself for the Academy Award for the 2 films produced? That is, Director X nominated for Best Director in Movie A against Director X nominated for Best Director in Movie B?

A. Or comedy!! Some of the best acting roles are performed in comedy, but the actors rarely are recognized for their portrayals. It's all about the snobbery of Hollywood. Travolta, for instance, should have been nominated for his role as Edna Turnblad in Hairspray.

A. I sure hope so, even though I really hope that it's not just for the sake of his or her skin color. I think it's a real shame that the progress of both race equality and women's rights and equality has been so incredibly sluggish over the past 50 or so years. If anything would ever happened to even HINT that white, Anglosaxen MEN might be handled unfairly or with prejudice, all holy Hell would have broken out by now. In my book, talent is talent ...regardless of skin color.
