Why do blockbusters rarely win top honors at Oscars?

"Boyhood" actors Ellar Coltrane (L), Patricia Arquette (C) and Ethan Hawke pose with director Richard Linklater at the 20th Annual Critics Choice Awards at the Palladium in Hollywood, California on January 15, 2015 So who has actually seen the top Oscar movies? Take the two frontrunners: "Birdman" was written, produced and directed by Mexican Alejandro Gonzalez Inarritu for some $18 million, while "Boyhood" cost only $4 million to make -- over 12 years. Each of them made at least $200 million at the North American box office alone. Other best picture Oscar nominees like "Whiplash" and "Selma" made even less.
