The film won an inaugural 1929 Academy Award for “unique and artistic” achievement the same year, “Wings” won for “outstanding production.” (Fox Film Corp.)Ī film such as Ryan Coogler’s “Black Panther” deserves serious recognition. Murnau’s “Sunrise,” a farmer (George O’Brien) is haunted by the memory of a big-city flapper (Margaret Livingston). The academy has been making some bold and encouraging moves lately, diversifying its voting ranks, dragging its early 20th century machinery and thinking into the 21st. That patronizing two-tier recognition, designed to flatter the audience while recognizing the uncompromising artists in the industry’s midst, lasted exactly one year. One was a commercial wallop of considerable artistic craft the other remains a cinematic landmark. Murnau’s dazzling melodrama “Sunrise” (1927) was given the nod for “unique and artistic” achievement. (The first Oscars ceremony honored films from ’27 and ’28.) F.W. William Wellman’s World War I adventure “Wings” (1927) won the “outstanding production” award. This all goes back to the very first Academy Awards presentation in 1929, a modest affair held at the Hollywood Roosevelt Hotel. Now, I’m a big fan of “Black Panther.” But as film historian and critic Mark Harris tweeted Wednesday: “It truly is something that in the year ‘Black Panther,’ a movie made just about entirely by and with black people, grosses $700 million, the Academy’s reaction is, ‘We need to invent something separate … but equal.’ ” They’re trying to eke a few more years out of traditional theatrical distribution and exhibition of the popular art form that occasionally really is about the art, along with the commerce.Īnd yet there are so many problems with this stupid decision.Īfter the initial Wednesday announcement, the academy issued a hasty addendum noting that blockbusters (definition pending) of note will be eligible in both top-line categories, the Moneybags Award and the Actual Quality Award. They’re trying to improve their ratings, and attract better advertising dollars. The Oscars are trying to stay relevant, which isn’t easy if you’re turning 91.
