The Oscars are a showcase for Hollywood &#8212; Hollywood&#8217;s time to show the rest of America their best. In its early days, Hollywood decided to show Americans its glitz and glamour, its beauty and popularity; these were the days when movies like The Great Ziegfield and Gone With The Wind won Academy Awards. In its middle age, Hollywood decided to show Americans its power &#8212; its ability to tap into deep emotions while still providing spectacle; these were the years of Ben Hur and Lawrence of Arabia.
Now Hollywood is in its dotage. And it has decided to showcase its ability to spit in Americans&#8217; eye &#8212; to remind Americans that those in Tinseltown occupy a lofty seat among the moral icons of our time. They&#8217;re no longer there to celebrate our commonality as Americans, or even remind us of that commonality. They&#8217;re interested in reminding us of the vast gap between our values and theirs. That&#8217;s why the only three films of the past ten years that earned $100 million at the box office and won Best Picture were Argo, a movie glorifying America as opposed to the evil of the mullahs&#8217; Iran; The King&#8217;s Speech, a movie glorifying British resilience in the face of the Nazi threat; and Slumdog Millionaire ­&#8212; not coincidentally, a film not about depredations of Americans, but about overcoming evil and difficulty in India. Not one Best Picture since 2004 has been in the box office top 10.
