Its very similar in the film world as well, it seems that anything with action or sci fi is never considered to be "proper" cinema and is never up for awards (apart from a few) Everything everywhere all at once is by far the best film of this year, and despite it being nominated, I'm fairly sure that Tar will win!
The argument about "Eternal truths" reminds me of when we were studying Blake for 'A' Level English Lit., and someone suggested that his use of capital letters indicated a hidden religious significance. Turning to extracts of some of Blake's correspondence in the back of our texts, I pointed at one letter and asked "So what is the religious significance in 'Thank You for the Side of Beef you sent me last Week.'?"
