Abstract

The article discusses the increasing representation of climate change in Academy Award Best Picture nominees over the past four decades. It highlights the significant moment in 2007 when Al Gore's documentary "An Inconvenient Truth" won Oscars, marking a shift in how climate issues are portrayed in films. Notable films addressing climate themes include "Erin Brockovich," "Avatar," "Mad Max: Fury Road," and "Don't Look Up," which illustrate both sustainable futures and the consequences of inaction. Despite this trend, the article notes that only a small percentage of films and television scripts mention climate change, emphasizing the need for more realistic portrayals to connect with audiences.
