On HTF specific interests, over the last three years:

The 2005 Official Oscars thread was 21 pages
The 2006 Official Oscars thread was 11 pages
The 2007 Official Oscars thread is just over 3 pages

I'm sure there is some commenting left in us, but this thread will probably end somewhere on this fourth page. Some of that is the decreased traffic in the Movies section here at HTF, and some of that might be the nominees this year.

Is it possible that "new media" is chipping away at how society views the Oscar? Movies, as a business, skew younger than ever now. Those kids might not see Oscars as being as prestigious as some of us did back when. Or is it just the usual sine wave?
