Did anyone else see the 98th Academy Awards? Kumail Nanjiani dropped that bombshell about a moment that’s only happened seven times in a whole century! The energy in the Dolby Theatre was electric. But looking at the numbers, it's absolutely wild, the show cost $56.9 million to put on. Those gift bags alone are worth $350,000! I’m honestly torn. On one hand, it’s a legendary celebration of cinema that boosts the Los Angeles economy by $170 million and secures the legacy of artists. On the other hand, seeing a $2 million price tag for a single ad spot while stars walk away with six-figure 'swag bags' feels a bit surreal in today’s world. Is this the ultimate peak of culture or just an overpriced party for the elite? Either way, that rare moment made history. What do you guys think? Is the spectacle worth the price tag? #culture #cinema #economics https://thoxt.com/l/YzWuy8 🔗
