Appearances
It's about strategy, months of screenings, Q&As, festival stops, for-your-consideration ads, private receptions.
And this is all aimed at a relatively small group of people, the roughly 11,000 members of the Academy of Motion Picture Arts and Sciences.
Turns out, Onora's price tag is not that unusual.
That's Katie Rich.
She's been covering the entertainment industry and the Oscars for years.
She's the awards editor at The Ankler, an entertainment business newsletter, and she hosts the podcast Prestige Junkie.
With the Oscars coming up on March 15th, I sat down with Katie to break down how these campaigns work, what she makes of this year's nominees, and why the Oscars, regardless of what we think of them, probably aren't going anywhere.
You know, I call this award season because like it's very long.
It is a season with like beats and moments and a whole arc for these movies.
It is massive.
It is expensive.
And I want to try and unpack what that Oscar industrial complex, what it's made of.
It feels eerily similar to a political campaign.
And a thing that everyone talks about in that world is like, how much did you have to spend to get one vote?
Same question to you for the Oscars.
Let's math it.
If Nora spent $18 million to win Best Picture.
How many zeros are a million?
18 million divided by 6,000?
6,000.
