Why are some actors treated like gods?

Because people are shallow maybe???

I laugh at the notion of actors and award ceremonies, getting awards for pretending ….. just ridiculous. But such is the world we live in vain and vapid.

There are good films released every year, films like The Fall guy , Furiosa which were expected to be hits have not made a profit, maybe gen z is losing the habit of going to the cinema since theres so many options ,streaming apps,netflix, youtube,twitch, for entertainment .

yes Dune 2 was a big hit .

i think gen z is more interested in pop singers , whoever they follow on tiktok, twitch,youtube than movie stars .going to see a film is just another choice in the range of options for entertainment .

Maybe its because of gossip websites ,social media actors do,nt seem as important or glamourous as they were 10 years ago.

Audiences are gravitating to streaming services to watch all but the biggest, loudest, films, noted TD Cowen. Just 19 action/adventure films accounted for 56% of the total box office for the top 100 films of 2022. The outlook for a sustained recovery, beyond this type of high-adrenaline flick, is questionable,

In fairness some actors are amazing at what they do and deserve a huge following and admiration. The majority don't of course but a distinction needs to be made between the two.

And his pathetic excuse years back when his outburst at a light prop guy was leaked: "this guy played high school football there was no way I would have won a fight with him". Give me a break. He knows well that if the light guy got physical with him, he would be thrown out of the set and would never work in the industry again.

I think awards shows are designed to promote films as well as promote actors , if someone gets an award they are feature in tv shows ,newspaper articles ,blogs ,youtube videos . films that get awards get more publicity and this matters ,you are more likely to watch a film you know about and that features famous actors when its shown on tv or on streaming apps .

companys spends millions advertising video games and movies ,

if you are very strict and never watched a movie that starred an actor that used illegal drugs or for instance had affairs outside marriage you,d have a very limited range of movies to watch.

just being an actor does not gaurantee you will be a person of perfect moral or ethical behavior

Showbiz tends to attract people who want to be famous and rich and maybe people who are vain or slightly arrogant or even slightly shallow .the average actor has to be driven and has to put in long hours to even get a chance at even appearing on a mildy successful tv show ,

Many actors start off working on soap operas like neighbours working on a low wage before they get a chance of being offered film roles
