Oscar Predictions 2023: Best Actor and Picture Connection
The Oscars used to be more reliant upon the free market: big stars used to drive the box office, and thus big stars often drove the Oscars. Take, for instance, the first year I covered the Oscars when Gladiator won Best Picture. Russell Crowe and Julia Roberts were huge stars who could open movies. Both won Oscars that year, and naturally, people would watch the Oscars. So far, so good. [AwardsDaily]
