The term "Oscar-bait" used to refer to films that are specifically designed, marketed, and distributed to specifically try and ensure getting some Academy Awards attention isn't new, having started to be used around the early 1940s. It's generally accepted that it wasn't until the '70s, however, that true Oscar-bait films as they're known today began to be produced, starting with the Best Picture-winning The Deer Hunter. That, however, is a phenomenal film. That's not always the case with these kinds of movies.
