I do think that in recent years the Oscars have done better at ensuring that honest-to-goodness fantastic movies win, rather than stuff like Gladiator, Shakespeare in Love or LOTR:ROTK. Yes, they have to pass a litmus test, but when stuff like Birdman or Shape of Water can actually win best picture, it's still an improvement.
