this is a great look into the history of the oscars that i never knew about!! i’m wondering what you’d think of the SAG awards (SAG is the labor union for screen actors).
considering the history of the oscars, it seems pretty radical for the union itself to hold an alternative to the oscars honoring the work of people in the union, especially with the recent SAG strike. i wonder how different hollywood would be if the general public looked at the sag awards with the same prestige and respect as the oscars.
Thank you!! I highly recommend reading Oscar Wars for more on this history/Hollywood in general, it’s so fascinating.
I love tuning into the SAG awards - I find that I often agree with the winners of those more than the Golden Globes or Oscars. I can imagine as an actor it might feel more rewarding to be awarded based on a consensus among peers vs. black box industry professionals. It does seem radical! I want to read more about the SAG awards history now.
