There are almost no awards for successful films: Hollywood is too arrogant to honor Barbie.

The Hollywood film awards jury seems to me like a bunch of over-the-top teenagers who would never admit to secretly listening to their mom’s pop music.

The start of the year marked the start of awards season: a time when the film industry was in its heyday. And the two films compete with each other in almost every category: “Barbie” and “Oppenheimer.”

A pink comedy about the world’s most famous doll and an epic about J. Robert Oppenheimer, the “father of the atomic bomb.” I saw both films and found them great, but Barbie was definitely more entertaining.

And this seemed to be the case for many people. Because Greta Gerwig’s film is the most successful comedy of all time. “Barbie” grossed about 1.2 billion francs worldwide. The Oppenheimer costs an impressive 83 million francs.

So why isn’t this success reflected in the number of awards? Despite a record number of nominations, “Barbie” has so far mostly gone home with a few awards in unimportant categories. “Oppenheimer”, on the contrary, received a prize.

Hollywood just seems too arrogant to celebrate a film that has great actors, is well made, conveys an important message, and gets people to come to the movies. But the jury simply ignores the audience, which should be one of the indicators of a good film.

Luckily, the really important critics don’t seem to care, because Barbie continues to draw viewers instead of awards.
