Not only are there no real stars anymore, but the movies that get nominated for best picture are art house flicks nobody wanted to see. For the last several years, there have been only one nominee for best picture each year that I have ever heard of. Actually, other than with comic book flicks, the Hollywood “movie” is rapidly becoming irrelevant. The best cinema is definitely coming from cable and the online services.
Not only are there no real stars anymore, there is no real art either (or you have search hard for something of real artistic merit). Today’s movies, music, painting, etc. deemed by the “elites” to be art of lasting value is mostly complete dreck.
Like "The Shape Of water". Two or three freepers will go see that turd. Dragged by a girlfriend will be the only way.
“-—but the movies that get nominated for best picture are art house flicks nobody wanted to see.”
Lots of people want to see them,including me.
They are not blockbusters,but they are low budget,and some really good movies are still made.
Hollywood is into flash and special effects.
