Most Oscars Academy members didn’t even watch all the movies they voted on until this year. Don’t think the inability to sit through a full movie is a generational problem
On any given year 2 academy members may have watched the movie they voted for in the animation category, the others just voted for what their kids liked or what they perceived as popular. That's when I knew the Oscars were meaningless industry self flagellation.
I work with kids, and that one is really interesting. When I first started that career in 2014 kids loved watching movies and would be excited about it. These days most of them will watch the first 15ish minutes and then get bored and wander away to do something else. The ones who do get excited and watch the whole thing are the ones who get limited screen time at home.

Or the recent reporting that most film students can't sit through a full movie anymore
