oscarbation
The process of making an Oscar-bait movie.
"Alright, I'm going to make a movie. It'll be a compelling human drama, probably set in the past, examining the importance of friendship and self-discovery, but doesn't do anything to challenge contemporary ideas and reaffirming that the past was terrible for a certain group of people, but we've moved past that now. Starring Morgan Freeman and Tom Hanks."
