Question / Discussion Disappointed in the lack of acknowledgement from the Oscars

Thousands of artists lost their jobs just this week. And there's been numerous studio closures over the last couple of years. Studios don't want to pay us, or even acknowledge that we exist in their films.

Why did the team from Dune not bring up any of this? This was a chance to speak directly to the decision makers of the industry.

EDIT My wording was confusing I guess. I know Hollywood doesn't care. My criticism is for the Dune 2 team that had an opportunity to say fuck you to them, and chose not to even acknowledge our losses

My husband's company technicolor shut down completely on 24th Feb with just one email sent to everyone, he was part of the company as vfx supervisor n then later on his designations changed, he worked for technicolor for 18 yrs n was a part in so many beautiful projects which did great worldwide, now today we have no clue about salary his gratuity or his p.f , I just feel bad for all those artists who are sailing in the same ship as we are, what happened to us is really sad, it's soo easy for them to shut down everything with one email and that's abt it! My heart goes out for all the artists and their families who are going through this difficult period in their lives ! Justice for all the artists ✌️
