For the third time in four years, 2015's Best Picture Oscar winner is a film about filmmaking or acting -- raising questions about how a self-centered Hollywood chooses its top honorees. Already under fire for a lack of racial diversity in its Oscar nominations, Tinseltown awoke Monday to a debate about another arguably inward-looking trend in its awards choices. While industry insiders argue that it reflects a trend towards more personal and authentic filmmaking, at least one commentator saw it as part of a wider cultural pattern based on social media and TV reality shows. The comments came after "Birdman," about a washed-up cinema actor battling to revive his career on the stage, swept to victory at the 87th Academy Awards on Sunday night.
