To be honest I don’t think people care if they win or not for a while. Winning doesn’t carry the prestige it once did. It’s not a validation of your work anymore. Again I believe a consequence of overexposure to celebrity through the internet. A million likes on every instagram post compensates for a lack of an award from the academy.
