Hollywood is giving up on the big screen

At the Academy Awards this weekend, only one actress was willing to address the sore subject that all of Hollywood has spent the past year avoiding: the demise of movie theaters and the entertainment industry’s relationship with them.

“Please watch our movie on the largest screen possible,” said actress Frances McDormand after Nomadland won best picture on Sunday. “And one day soon, take everyone you know into a theater, shoulder-to-shoulder in that dark space, and watch every film that is represented here tonight.”
