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?

299j  Pavilion I-II  |  Peter Greenaway - Film Screening

Panel Chair: Eric Levy, The University of Illinois at Chicago

Film screening and discussion of The Draughtsman's Contract
Director: Peter Greenaway, 1982 UK (104 minutes)

The Draughtsman' Contract, a 1982 film written and directed by Peter Greenaway, is a period piece set in 1694. It was Greenaway's first commercial feature, and it placed him on map of international filmmaking. The award-winning score by Michael Nyman also shot the composer into international stardom. The film works on the viewer like an intricately structured enigma, one that seems on the surface to be ordinary, but underneath has many layers that need examining in detail. Roger Ebert perhaps summarized the film best when he said, "What we have here is a tantalizing puzzle, wrapped in eroticism and presented with the utmost elegance. I have never seen a film quite like it."
