After watching “Marty Supreme,” I have never felt so unfulfilled with a movie. It lacked passion, making it seem like the producers were striving for an award rather than a revolutionary movie. 

I was confused as to why the casting went to big names like Kevin O’Leary and big music creators instead of genuine actors. 

Once a year, the Academy of Motion Picture Arts and Sciences (AMPAS) hosts the Oscars to recognize movies released that year. Of these awards, the Best Actor and Actress nominations frequently become the most discussed.

Personality has become a crucial factor of these awards with Oscar campaigns becoming increasingly common. 

Oscar campaigns like Timothee Chalamet’s back-to-back Best Actor movement have been shoved into the limelight of social media. 

Chalamet is an amazing actor, but his constant marketing through dramatic interviews, massive investments and networking all for an Oscar detract from his acting capability, leading viewers to question his passion. 

In the “Wuthering Heights” movie, an adaptation of a classic, emotionally charged novel, reviewers were disturbed at the sheer lack of passion deriving from the leading actors, Jacob Elordi and Margot Robbie. “Wuthering Heights” prioritizes seeming “abstract,” rather than focusing on a plot.

Actor personas shouldn’t be awarded in favor of true acting and instead of flaunting personalities across stages, actors need to stick to their authentic craft. 

I, along with other viewers, want to see big emotions on the screen again. In “Perks of a Wallflower,” Logan Lerman’s emotional rambling made me cry. In “The Shining,” the delusional yelling of Jack Nicholson had me scared. I wasn’t bored like I am with current movies.

I want to be convinced an actor feels deeply for the character they’re playing. 

Josh O’Conner’s portrayal of “Father Jud,” in ‘Wake Up Dead Man,” had me believe that there were still actors who could be dedicated to a role without the intention of winning something. I’d still be happy if he ended the award season without an Oscar because his performance was satisfactory.

So, I don’t want to see the dispassionate droning of Robbie Willams in “Better Man,” but instead the silly singing of Tom Hanks in “Big.” 

Awards are given on the premise of good work. Personality, money and campaigning shouldn’t contribute to recognition of art and should be left aside.
