The Academy Awards cease to exist the moment the last winner is announced. After that - nobody cares, total void. You would be hard pressed to remember who got the coveted statuette two days ago. The only time the situation developed differently was, of course, in 1989, when the Oscars died the moment the ceremony started.
But this year - it will be no different from the usual state of things. Today, by nightfall, the whole thing will fade away, and no one will care that the year's best film (Cold War) got nothing, that it still makes no sense to split the Best Director and Best Picture awards, and that Spike Lee said something or other. Oh and Green Book? Please. This is like saying Nashville Skyline is the best album by Bob Dylan.
