This is EXACTLY what I am saying. Thank you.
It has much more to do with what movies are being made today than then.
Avengers: Infinity War wasn't being made in the 1960s.
We have seen a drastic shift over 40 years from high quality films being what people flocked to see to popcorn tentpole cinema.

Oh, I agree. I feel like Hollywood, for whatever reason, no longer trusts mainstream audiences with high quality films anymore. It saves its Oscar bait movies for projects that cost around $50 million to produce and releases them in only 20-30 theaters at Christmas time.
I know I get shite on for being a Nolanite but I feel his films prove Hollywood wrong. You can make artsy fartsy blockbuster films and make them profitable. Just take a look at the box office returns for Inception and Dunkirk. Both were nominated for Best Picture as well.
If Hollywood were to make more films like that instead of living on superheroes, remakes, and sequels for their tentpole films, you might see people start watching the Oscars again.
