Well it isn't the Oscar's fault that the general public are a bunch of morons who only watch crap. Why should they pick awful movies to win just for ratings? What is this the grammys?

There also isn't a lot of room for adult dramas anymore. Theatres and the nature of releases mean studios basically only want tentpoles.

Then you add on the fact that when studios do make adult dramas that have wide appeal, the Academy largely ignores those movies. They've fallen in love with the indie darling flicks.
