You’re missing my overall point.
Sure film producers might give awards to technicians in film, but I’m talking about the VAST accomplishments of engineers/scientists who have IMMENSELY improved people’s standard of living due to their genius and hard work.
Hollywood is the most self-aggrandizing group of any profession in the world. These people are not heroes. They’re just good at pretending they’re someone else and usually happen to be attractive (genetic celebrities).
Who used the word ‘hero’? BTW out of the twenty-five or so Oscars given out - only four go to actors.
