This does create a problem though, because while nobody gives a shit about industry awards, they do generate hype and interest (and sales). And these sales generate future projects. Nobody is going to basically attempt an animation project aimed at adults when they know they can't get it marketed as anything but for kids, and even then, always play second fiddle to Disney.
And hence, animation is effectively all but dead in America. You have your Rick and Mortys and Frozens and not much else.
Exhalation and Stories of your Life are two collections of short stories that I think should rank among the top few such anthologies. The fact that they're sci-fi doesn't reduce them, but they're unlikely to be really recognized because of the genre.
Parasite is a perfect example. The last subtitled movie Americans sat through with any sort of audience capacity was Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon. Without the Oscar hype, that movie is a flop in the US. But because it got that hype, people were trying to watch it any way they could, even if that meant spending extra on a streaming service to watch it from home.
These awards have only ever had one purpose – for the industry establishment to pat each other on the back and gatekeep outsiders, and that is as relevant today as it was 20 or 50 years ago. They have never been about evaluating quality of content.
And there's no point showing the same graphs of falling ratings, because, like all other forms of entertainment nowadays, more and more people are streaming these shows and/or watching parts of it later on their own schedule.
