I honestly cannot wrap my head around the sheer excess of award season anymore. We are looking at a single night that costs nearly $57 million to produce, while the stars walking the red carpet are handed gift bags valued at $350,000 just for showing up. In a world where basic necessities are becoming luxury items for many, giving millionaires free vacations and high-end beauty treatments feels completely tone-deaf. Is the spectacle of gold statues and caviar really worth the $2 million price tag for a thirty-second commercial? It feels like a massive, self-indulgent bubble that ignores reality. While I appreciate the artistry of cinema, the financial vanity behind these ceremonies has reached a breaking point. It is time we stop celebrating such blatant wealth disparity on a global stage. #culture #finance #ethics
