This past Wednesday, no matter which channel we clicked on and no matter whether it was morning, noon, or night, Oscar nominees made their way onto to T.V. Now we all know these people as talented actors, but the reason they were all there was to support the nominations their film made. In Wednesday morning, Leonardo DiCaprio, nominated for best actor in "The Wolf On Wall St.", was on "CBS This Morning", talking about his character he portrayed. Also Jonah Hill, nominated for best supporting actor, and Bradley Cooper, also nominated for best supporting actor, were on "The Tonight Show" with Jimmy Fallon, talking about the movies they were a part of.
This made me think, back then, maybe about 50 years ago, the only way people could know about the Oscar nominees were through newspaper articles and radios. Today, everyone knows about the Oscars, the Emmys, and film festivals. This made me believe that the media has higher impact on films, whether it's to gain more votes on their side or to just let the audience know what is out there, than I originally thought.
