Do you think awards season hype actually changes careers, or is it just industry PR? I’ve seen Oscar winners struggle to find their next job, while people with zero accolades keep booking back-to-back gigs. Awards look great in a press release, but I wonder how much weight they really carry when it comes to long-term stability.

I'm sure winning awards can change someone's career, but it's not guaranteed. Sometimes it seems like the person is getting the award for playing that particular role and they get typecast and that's a problem. Or winning the Oscar goes to their head, or their agent's head, and they manage their career poorly afterward. After a big award things can go any number of ways.

It’s difficult as the industry is constantly moving and adapting, Oscar winning movies can gain so much media and then all of a sudden it’s hardly spoken about it and people just move on and hopefully find another job- very short lived!

No it’s all PR. That’s why nominees and their team campaign so hard to win the award. It’s just for the publicity.

I think an award like that is great for filmmakers whatever way, but I don’t think it’s a guaranteed smash hit in terms of a successful career.

I once asked a colleague at a radio company how much he's paid monthly, and he outright refused to tell me. In fact, he found it very odd that I asked. I later learned that he was making double my salary. I know it's not an employee's job to fix pay inequity by sharing their salary figures, but I'm still of the opinion that it helps uncover pay gaps. But do you think it's wise to do so at the risk of damaging your work environment or the whole thing backfiring on you? Thoughts are welcome.
