The Oscars are about the dynamics of that moment, of that season. It reflects what's been going on in the world every year through the movies. And a lot of times, what's popular at the movies is popular because of what's going on in the world at that moment.

There are always at least five good films at the end of the year to get nominated, but generally speaking nowadays, it's more of the independent films that are recognized.

There is always a new flavor of the month, especially in film.

I guess in Hollywood you chart your life by Oscars. You say to each other, 'Remember when that movie won that year? It was 2006. Remember that?'

You know it's Oscar season when you see a slew of new movies based on true stories whose resolutions you can find in three seconds on Wikipedia.

This whole Oscar thing is so political. It's about how much a film grosses, and who's in it, and how well it has been promoted.

January, month of empty pockets! let us endure this evil month, anxious as a theatrical producer's forehead.

The poor Oscars - they always get slammed in the press.

The Oscars have become such a big deal these days that it's just used as adjective.

The movies that will truly be successful will feel different than the movies of the year before.
