Abstract
- The movie awards for 2018 were dominated by works by and about marginalized people who are underrepresented in contemporary movies. The movies use established forms of superficial, sensational, and escapist movie-making. The conventions of these "eye candy" forms contradict and undermine the serious adult significance of the works, in obedience to the commercial demands of the movie industry.
