True enough years, decades... centuries ago when they were the amongst the few to have exposure to it .

Things are a bit more equitable these days though and there are many forms of art to be enjoyed by all, regardless of wealth or position.

As regards the self serving, mutual admiration society of the "Oscars": the heartfelt acceptance speeches by Glen Hansard and Marketa Irglova alone prove there are always exceptions to the rule, and that cynicism and the jaded POV can always be conquered...
