This isn't really a link, but...
I subscribe to Dave Barry's mailing list. The most recent newsletter talks about the Oscars...
Who will win Best Picture this year? Will it be “Encounter at Farpoint,” or “The Naked Now,” or “Code of Honor,” or even “The Last Outpost?” Probably not, because these are not Oscar-nominated movies. These are the titles of the first four episodes of season one (1987-88) of the TV series Star Trek: The Next Generation. I’m just listing them here to drive home the point that the average person such as (no offense) yourself is pretty much oblivious to what the film industry is up to these days.
Before this was a mention of the 2024 Best Picture winner Anora, which I'd never heard of but certainly sounds like the name of a Star Trek planet, doesn't it?
Looking back on the award winners, I'd have to go back to 2003's LOTR The Return of the King to have seen a winner. If we're talking nominees, just 2018 for Black Panther.
