Matt Damon: The Academy Gets It Wrong

Matt Damon tells Parade that he doesn’t think the Academy necessarily gets it right when it comes down to honoring actors and films.

The 38-year-old actor shares, “I think that the best way to judge movies is, like, 10 years after they’re released. I think they should actually do the awards that way. I think they should have done the Academy Awards this year for movies from 1998. I think it’s better to look at a movie and then step back and look at it again. I don’t think – that the awards necessarily get it right. I think they get it wrong more often than they get it right.”

DO YOU THINK The Academy got it wrong with any of the this year’s winners?
