Oscars may be hurting the movie industry

Arts, Culture & Media

Sunday night, the Academy of Motion Pictures Arts and Sciences will host its 84th annual awards ceremony. While the night is full of glitz and glamour, the awards themselves may be hurting the industry, both in the cost of movie making and in the diversity of films produced.

Movie Date: ‘Harold & Kumar’ and ‘Tower Heist’
