I would 100% co-sign everything you stated in your video. That said, I do weirdly love Spotlight. I will watch it every time I find it on television, even though I don't typically enjoy watching dramas. And it's a drama about child abuse of all things. I don't know what's wrong with me. But there it is. I stan for Spotlight.

Overall a great piece, though I take some exception to the notion that a film has to be "memorable" to be considered to be Oscar-worthy, or important. Some of the most influential pieces of cinema has become obscured in the modern era. Do we consider the Seventh Seal less-than because it doesn't have the wide appeal of today's blockbusters? Is Hidden Fortress any worse a film because a certain sci-fi film series created by George Lucas which took heavy inspiration from it is more front-and-center in the public sphere?
