The team debates whether film awards like the Oscars, Golden Globes, and BAFTAs still matter to audiences or just serve industry self-promotion. Did this year's winners truly deserve success, or were better films ignored?

Does an Oscar win make a film a 'must-see' for casual viewers or just fuel film snobbery?
