And the award for true film buff goes to…
FORGET EVERYTHING you thought you knew about the Oscars. DEEP INSIDE the glitzy machine of Hollywood’s biggest night lies a FILTHY secret: the industry’s “most educated” fans are actually a CULT of elitist snobs who HATE real cinema. A shocking new study reveals that self-proclaimed “film buffs” who ace trivia quizzes are not celebrating art—they are gatekeeping a DEAD culture, parroting studio-approved history while IGNORING the revolutionary filmmakers working TODAY.
These so-called aficionados can list every Best Picture winner from 1990, but they can’t name a single groundbreaking director from outside the West. They worship the CANON fed to them by aging academies, a canon that SYSTEMATICALLY excluded women and people of color for DECADES. This isn’t about love for film; it’s about using obscure knowledge as a WEAPON to belittle casual viewers and maintain a toxic hierarchy. While you were watching a movie for JOY, they were mining it for FUN FACTS to fuel their superiority.
The Oscars themselves are a RIGGED game, a spectacle of back-patting and political bargaining sold as sacred tradition. And the “true film buffs” are their WILLING APOLOGISTS, polishing the golden statues while the art form BURNS. They aren’t guardians of culture—they are its grinning UNDERTAKERS, measuring the coffin for anything that dares to be popular, accessible, or new. The final reel is playing, and the biggest twist is that the audience has been the villain all along.
