For some culture watchers it feels like there’s a discernible lack of pre-Oscar buzz surrounding this year’s Academy Awards ceremony. Is it possible that the Sochi Olympics have us distracted? Or that, with the one-two (-three?) punch of the Super Bowl, the Golden Globes and the Grammy Awards we’ve hit ‘peak TV?’
Who knows.
