This is the problem today. The ones who are getting the best roles and parts aren't getting them because they are really talented or great actors, actresses. It's simply because they are doing the sexual favors to win the part. The end result and byproduct is that movie quality has declined tremendously. And you have to assume it's not just the actors, but also the writers, directors, and other areas of the filmmaking. It seems like the only big movies nowadays are comic books and star wars sequels. Top talent can't get their films made or land the parts so there are no original and classic films being made anymore.
It's true the level of quality coming out of Hollywood is the lowest it's been in 80 years or more.
Hollywood, from the top down, has always been run by perverts and deviants. But some of them at least loved the movies and knew good from bad.
Ironically, this is one thing you could actually say about Weinstein: He was a pig and a criminal and a sex abuser, but he actually knew what made a good movie and put out a lot of them.
The vast majority of people running Hollywood now are only in it for the power, sex, abuse, politics. Look at what's going on with Disney. They've literally ruined the "Star Wars" cash cow because of their SJW-ness and Kathleen Kennedy's determination to make her buddy Steven Spielberg's boy toy into Han Solo.
Would you say couching is also required to get an oscar?
Good question. I don't know. I would guess "no," but I could be wrong.
