Oscar, 94, was found dead today from unnatural causes. Having been on life support for many years now, the once prestigious awards night for artistic and technical merit in the film industry, died from complications of no longer being regarded by many as the most significant awards in the entertainment industry worldwide. That all came to an end today as the Oscars stopped celebrating the arts and the achievement in cinema. It had now turned into a sheltered celebration for the selected elite. Although it is important that the Academy Awards showcased the talent from diverse communities and helped educate and influence the film world, it failed not to include a large faction of the film community which remained vacant from its award night for several years. Although the night before Oscars death, the Academy Awards received more news coverage in its 94 year existence, it had nothing to do with cinema or the arts. Instead, the only relevant exposure Oscar received in the last ten years was when something went wrong. Whether this be a slap, naming the wrong film or just being political, Oscar has been losing its way and its audience for decades. Although Oscar was a night for the Hollywood system to give itself a pat on the back for most of its life, Oscar had many memorable moments with several films and performances. Sadly, Oscar had slowly been losing its audience for over the last thirty years. Knowing this was effecting its life, Oscar stayed the course and chose not to change its way. To compete with ratings, the funeral will be televised and the event will not be open to the general public. In care of flowers, please make a donation to any independent filmmakers that works outside of Hollywood.
