You raise a good question, but it still relies on following the (historical) authority of the Academy. Perhaps the Academy has changed? Perhaps the environment the Academy is operating has changed, forcing the Academy to adjust?
Of course, this would apply to the non-Academy, ie. broader society, as well—but at different rates, and also different directions.
A stab at answering your question: you should only apply an update based on the Academy if the Academy is an important entity for you. This isn’t binary. Awards factor into my perception of movies, but only play a minor role.
