Reply to comment by lifesthateasy in Oscars: “Naatu Naatu” From India’s ‘RRR’ To Be Performed During Ceremony by impeccabletim

> they stopped focusing on quality and their rewards are based around other things like representation and virtue signaling, instead of great movies. Instead of getting back to giving awards purely based on quality

It sure is a good thing RRR happened to be one of the best films of 2022 then, isn't it

Wait did RRR get an Oscar? Did I miss something? I didn't say anything about that movie, I'm just saying they're opening to Indian audiences instead of focusing on what they traditionally did. I don't quite understand how Oscars, being based in the US and being comprised of mostly US critics trying to become the end-all be-all critical body of the world is a good thing but okay. Seems a lot of diversity would be lost but sure whatever floats your boat.
