ICYMI: How Long Will the Oscars Keep Ignoring Dallas Filmmaker David Lowery?
be justified if they were simply waiting until the right moment to shower him with honors. It took Linklater and Anderson a good run before their under-the-radar work nabbed them recognition. However,is the pinnacle accomplishment that should have broken the barrier.
When looking at this year’s crop of nominees, it's easy to imagine that voters saw a few movies and just did a “straight ticket” ballot as if they were voting for their preferred political party.
Lowery doesn’t need an Oscar to make great films, and if you look at the history of cinema there are many great filmmakers who went their entire careers without being recognized. Brian De Palma, David Cronenberg, Michael Mann, Sergio Leone, Paul Verhoeven, John Carpenter, Werner Herzog and other giants of the industry were never honored, even if it's clear that they influenced a generation of young filmmakers.
No, it doesn’t really matter, but an Oscar nomination sometimes gets casual viewers to watch something they may not have taken a chance on otherwise. So if the Oscars won’t say it, we will. Watch. Stream it. Rent it. Buy it. Hell, burn it on a VHS tape. In fact, you should probably watch Lowery’s entire body of work. Don’t stop there, either. There’s a great world of local, up-and-coming, and novice filmmakers who will never get an Oscar. It doesn’t mean that what they do doesn’t matter.
