Afterall most of the Oscar winners started in theater or do just as much live theater as they do in movies.

As actors/actresses, do you notice that the general public has no idea what goes into acting or what "great acting" even means?
It seems to me that many subpar performances get rave reviews by the general public simply because they like the character or liked the movie/show; and on the flip side, many great performances are overlooked simply because people didn't like the character, the person, or the movie/show. Like the term "amazing acting"…
