Sex Object = Academy Awards

[Dame Starry]

I've been a sex object all of my life.........whenever I want sex, men object!

I suppose, looking into something that disagrees with my theory would be relevant. These characters are rather sexually attractive but obviously didn't play a sex role. I mean, a sex object doesn't necessarily mean playing a sex role (call girl, etc.).



Sex Object: any person seen only as sexually attractive.



So, actually these actresses may support my theory!

Sexually attractive to whom?



What's one mans meat is another mans poison!

Already looking into that! Audience and Institutions; the Male Gaze and Female Representation.



I was talking to my media teacher, she was like looking at 3 movies is more than enough, than it all get really hard for myself, since the first half of the exam is evaluate your methodology, so i can always say 3 movies are not enough to confirm my theory. I specificly chose the 3 movies since the actresses played prostitutes and won/nominated for a Oscar, so i can always evaluate on that.



But i am going to briefly look into the last 5 years of female oscar winners...

2007 - Marion Cotillard

2006 - Helen Mirren

2005 - Reece Witherspoon

2004 - Hilary Swank

2003 - Charlize Theron (already fully analysed)



And ask whether the following actresses were regarded as sex objects in the films they won the Oscar in.

[AlexClarke]

your question is absolute crap

So's your reply

[Wicked Lady]

I wouldn't say the question is crap, but it is pretty cliched.



Whenever the role of women in cinema is examined, it is ALWAYS in relation to sex.



Dull, dull, dull.



A more interesting question would be what do men in the film industry gain by keeping women away from equality of power, pay and opportunity?



Mariska Hargitay is the highest paid female on US TV at the moment and earns $400,000 an episode. Charlie Sheen earns $825,000 per episode of Two and a Half Men.



Tell me THAT's fair.

I'm only looking at women in film, not men or women in TV shows. But, thats a really good question. Well, I just want to say thanks for everyones help. This will go into my first question, evaluating my research methods.
