I don't think it is stupidity, it is a lack of herding instinct. The
Oscars are about excellence in cinema achievement not ROI.


That's the theory, anyway.

Bayliner may sell more boats than Rybovitch, but it doesn't make it a
better product. Excellence in one's field does not always yield a
stellar ROI. A link to the herding instinct of Homo sapien usually
does, but is often connected to poor quality.

How do you measure the success of a TV show or movie?

1 - Money earned by showing it.

2 - Money made by showing it.

It's the very definition of success.

It's a stupid definition of success, but I grant you that
it's one which is easily measured.

There are more reasons to do things that "for profit." Why
do you post here? Why do you go fishing? Why did you pursue
whatever career you chose, rather than becoming a lobbyist
for a large military contractor?
