Why the last years, movies nominated for Oscar Award, are so violent?
Because in the past, the Academy was ruled by an older generation that perfered the more traditional romantic epic, such as The English Patient, Titanic, The Last Emperor, Out Of Africa, Shakespeare In Love, Dances With Wolves….etc. But as the years have passed, there have been more members who have joined the Academy who grew up during the late 1960s and 1970s during the birth of the “New Hollywood” where Martin Scorsese, Frances Ford Coppola and Steven Spielberg ruled the era. Now these members who rule the Academy are more or less desensitized and look past the violence and more into the art of filmmaking.
