P.S.: I=E2=80=99d like to quickly correct an error in last
night=E2=80=99s issue of In the Room. In an item, we confused outgoing Wash=
ington Post opinion editor David Shipley with New York Times opinion editor=
ial director David Leonhardt. Shipley is not going to the Times. (Although,=
 to be honest, I wouldn=E2=80=99t be surprised if he ended up there one day=

And the Winner Is=E2=80=A6
--------------------

Unlike most people who get into the media
business, I didn=E2=80=99t start out in a newsroom or the mailroom; I wasn=
=E2=80=99t a producer=E2=80=99s aide, or an ad planner or marketing intern.=
 Instead, I was a glorified manservant at golden-age-era Vanity Fair=E2=80=
=94at one point, an assistant to an assistant whose responsibilities includ=
ed fetching Pluck U Chicken when the junior editors had hangovers; more tha=
n occasionally retrieving an executive=E2=80=99s dress from Madame Paulette=
 dry cleaners in Midtown; ordering Christopher Hitchens scotch for
his birthday (and Dominick Dunne flowers on his); and taking the A train to=
 Canal Street to burn For Your Consideration DVDs of Oscar-contending movie=
s, distributed by the studios in advance of the Academy Awards.

=C2=A0

In those days, of course, the biological clock of the joint revolved around=
 the Oscars. My boss, the legendary editor Graydon
Carter, threw the party of the year around the annual ceremony. His was suc=
h a coveted invite that the events team would blow out a wall at Morton=E2=
=80=99s on Melrose to build a veritable banquet hall atop the parking lot t=
o fit everyone. Meanwhile, guests were invited to enter during specific tim=
e windows, both to avoid overcrowding=E2=80=94L.A. county officials were co=
nsulted during the planning, of course=E2=80=94but also to subtly reflect t=
heir status. The real swells, like Geffen and
Mick Jagger, might arrive to watch the award show at dinner. The riffraff w=
as allowed in after midnight. Sara Marks, whom some of us half-joked would =
have been equipped to lead Operation Iraqi Freedom, manned the guest list f=
rom the chauffeur drop-off. Crashers, and Courtney Love, were bounced.

=C2=A0

All these decades later, Oscar weekend remains my Proustian
madeleine. Of course, the industry has changed profoundly in the intervenin=
g years as streaming, cord-cutting, the rise of the trillion-dollar tech pl=
atforms and other secular forces have reshaped how audiences consume movies=
=2E I remember walking through the VF p=
arty back in 2005 when Million Dollar=20=
Baby, the definitionally monocultural $200 million grosser starring Hilary =
Swank and directed by the great Clint Eastwood, won best picture. Ever
since, as our culture has balkanized, Oscar favorites have become increasin=
gly niche-ified. It=E2=80=99s just the way media works these days.=C2=A0

=C2=A0

In his latest piece, my partner Matt Belloni offers an incredibly insightfu=
l analysis of one of the latent factors in the transformation=E2=80=94a gro=
wing split between what American moviegoers watch on the big screen and the=
 films that take home gold
statuettes. During the past decade, as the Academy rightly attempted to div=
ersify its ranks, around 40 percent of the new invites went to members outs=
ide the U.S. And while this sort of cosmopolitanism was overdue, in some re=
spects, it also shaped the Academy=E2=80=99s taste, thereby impacting which=
 movies got nominated and eventually won awards. =E2=80=9CThis isn=E2=80=99=
t an artistic point, or even a complaint about the =E2=80=98qualifications=
=E2=80=99 of these international invites,=E2=80=9D Matt noted astutely. =E2=
=80=9CBut when voters have no
connection to the Hollywood film industry=E2=80=94or, in some cases, even a=
n interest in the kinds of movies that are shown in U.S. theaters=E2=80=94h=
ow can the Academy expect them to nominate movies that appeal to the Americ=
an audience that consumes mostly Hollywood films and might want to watch th=
e Oscars on a Sunday night?=E2=80=9D Matt offers a fascinating depiction of=
 the dynamic in The
Academy Did This to Itself ( https://puck.news/how-and-why-the-academys-tas=
tes-have-changed/?utm_campaign=3DThe+Backstory+-+LEADS+%283%2F1%2F25%29&utm=

&utm_source=3Dcustomer.io&utm_term=3Df6c60615e3d301d48d28 ).

=C2=A0

Tastes do change, of course. (Although, I have to say, for some reason I re=
cently found myself rewatching Hannah and Her Sisters, a 1987 best picture =
nominee, and it still holds up perfectly.) And the fashion industry knows m=
ore about capriciousness than any other market we cover here at Puck. If yo=
u have time to read only one piece this weekend, I=E2=80=99d turn your atte=
ntion to
Lauren Sherman=E2=80=99s fantastic Gucci Successorology & Burberry=E2=80=99=
s Mini Revival ( https://puck.news/daniel-lees-burberry-triumph-and-guccis-=

ry=E2=80=99s biggest brands are enduring their own quiet evolution, too, aw=
ay from singular star creative directors and in pursuit of safer, annual-re=
curring-revenue-friendly strategies that make them less immune to key man r=
