Excitement is growing for Sunday’s #oscars2024 ceremony, but do awards really matter to streamers? Clearly, there is considerable soft marketing power deriving from the glamour and kudos of the Academy of Motion Picture Arts and Sciences, BAFTAs, and the like, but what about the hard numbers? This fascinating data from Digital i clearly shows the bump in last year's Netflix viewing of 'All Quiet on the Western Front' as it rode the rising wave of awards season hype culminating in its 2023 BAFTA Best Film win and 9 Academy Award nominations followed by the relative disappointment of winning Best International Picture rather than the top prize of Best Picture. Investing in the German-language wartime epic ahead of production translated into a clear extended viewership of that movie for Netflix, but also generated a hugely valuable ‘halo’ dynamic for the streamer - not least amongst industry insiders, reinforcing the idea that #netflix can be a home for the world’s most creative talent. This year Netflix has Bradley Cooper’s 'Maestro' in the mix for Best Picture, whilst Apple is hoping that Martin Scorsese’s Killers of the Flower Moon can upset favourite 'Oppenheimer', which has itself just debuted on Peacock. #streamingwars #movies #oscars

Senior citizens not retiring and maintaining business power is a fascinating concern impacting the labor market. While it is important to allow people with experience to continue to contribute to a company's success, we are now beginning to see stagnation. Specifically, younger people (50s and below) can no longer move up the corporate ladder because there is no space for them to move into. As the global population gets older and people live longer, this issue will only get worse. ===== "And that’s the problem. Or at least it is for a new generation of ambitious show-business strivers under the age of 50 who find themselves unhappily stuck on the middle rungs of Hollywood’s corporate ladder. Unlike their bosses, some of whom ascended to the heights of authority in their 30s (Emanuel) and even their late 20s (De Luca), young professionals today — who are toiling in an industry plagued with title deflation and ever-diminishing paydays — see no clear path to the top. Not one that isn’t blocked by an all-powerful boomer who’s been perched in a corner office since the Bush administration. The first one. “These people have been making movies since the 1990s,” notes one 50-something former head of production. “That’s a long time to have a position of authority and to be a gatekeeper of cultural decisions.”" https://lnkd.in/gQxDSeX5

LIVE LONG AND PROSPER 🖖 FIRST CONTACT DAY I didn’t used to be a big Star Trek fan (more Star Wars and Stargate), but in recent years I have begun to get in to Discovery, Picard & Strange New Worlds, and by extension have begun to watch many of the previous series. Did you know, that in #StarTrek history, April 5th is considered to be “First Contact Day”? This is based on the fictional history that on April 5th 2063 Zefram Cochrane first took a flight at speeds in excess of “Warp 1” in his prototype craft the “Phoenix”, which by extension revealed to the Vulcans that Earth had reached the right technological level to be introduced to the interstellar community allowed them to initiate first contact. This was actually depicted in the film “Star Trek: First Contact” as part of a really interesting time travel story. Now, I am not one to hide that I am a massive geek and love all things Sci-Fi so I thought it only right that I celebrate today with my own Vulcan salute. 🖖 If you would like to catch up on the Star Trek franchise or even just watch “First Contact”, the entire series can be found on Paramount+. Maybe I should have gotten a Star Trek themed Cap for this post? I am sure that they probably make them! Live Long & Prosper everyone! 😁 #FirstContactDay #FirstContact #LiveLongAndProsper #Geek #GeekCulture #SciFi #ScienceFiction Paramount , Paramount Pictures Side Note for Fan: Discovery is back on Paramount+ for its 5th and Final season.
