Why is that important? Because we are talking about film and the making of films is a business more than anything else. That is a simple fact of the real world we all live in. To pretend anything else is folly. Yes, some of it is art. There is a combination of the two. That is why things like critical praise becomes important as well as industry awards for artistic excellence.
Again, you can make fun of the voters or the awards or mock the critics or ridicule the common man but those are the things the industry feels are important. Nobody in the film industry with any power or influence gives a tinkers damn about how faithful source material is to the final product. Nobody.
You can resent that fact. You can rail against it. But you will be akin to the man who stands upon the shore and tries to stop the tide by planting his feet firly into the soggy sand and raising his arms against the powers of the incoming waters.
