When peer recog­ni­tion becomes a standard

Yes­ter­day took place the 2019 Oscars. Great eve­ning as always, but what is it all about? Year after year, we are loo­king at this kind of gala but is it still the same one as it was? Let’s look a bit dee­per. Since 1929, this cere­mo­ny like many others pre­sents us some aspects of the industry’s effort to create content we should appre­ciate. I’m not an expert of the code of conduct, social stan­dards, and other cus­toms of these indus­tries, but I can at least remove a thick layer of color­ful noise and look at the foun­da­tion of this world. The hum­blest arti­san will always find it hard to be glo­ri­fied in any way as their craft was usual­ly made in a sober man­ner and they usual­ly pre­fer to be in the sha­dow of their own crea­tion than to be under the spot­light. But a human being what it is, vani­ty is never far away and can spoil in a gentle way the pride we have of our art. Whe­ther we want it or not, social belon­ging will always make us feel that peer recog­ni­tion is impor­tant as it gives us the impres­sion that people may remem­ber us as a valuable mem­ber of the com­mu­ni­ty, even if the future can­not offer any gua­ran­tee. Des­pite all this, we must agree that nomi­nees are ulti­ma­te­ly there for what they achie­ved and not for what they could achieve. This is some­thing we must reco­gnize and salute.
