In any given year, there are going to be countless films released that deserve some form of recognition. When it’s time every year for the Oscars, there are only limited spots reserved for nominees in various categories. As breathtaking as it would be to receive a nomination, if a film does not, it doesn’t mean that your film is not any better than another. Award shows like the Oscars are extremely random and subjective.

There will NEVER be a consistent opinion on how a film is perceived to audiences. Other than being in the right place at the right time, being subjective is what drives perception. Don’t let it take you away from your passion and willingness in wanting to tell your story.
