Oscar bait
English
Noun
- (film) A film or films perceived to have been produced at least partially in order to be nominated for, and hopefully win, an Academy Award.
- 2005, Steve Pond, The Big Show: High Times and Dirty Dealings Backstage at the Academy Awards, page 261:
- Director Steven Soderbergh's Traffic was more typical Oscar bait, but the high-minded three-hour film about the drug trade along the US/ Mexican border was also inconsistent, and Soderbergh's fondness for mixing in grainy film stock and jerky handheld cameras didn't figure to endear him to older Academy voters.
