285  Enchantment D  |  Film/Adaptation Panel VII

Forum: Cultural Icon or Just Something Else to Dust on the Mantle: Are the Oscars relevant anymore?

Over the last two years, the nominated best picture films grossed less than $100 million on an average, falling even from 2005 to 2006 to $48 million. During the same period, 13 films, none nominated for best picture, have entered the all-time U.S. Box office top 50, grossing a minimum of $234 million. Does this disparity reflect a lack of relevancy in the Oscars? Can a "Best Picture" really make less than $60 million domestic?
