There are plenty of others Awards shows for you to watch instead. Blockbuster Awards and MTV Movie Awards come to mind first. The Oscars have always awarded for "excellence" as opposed to box-office stats. This argument of yours is nothing new.
I am not surprised your friends didn't see these movies. A lot of them were independent films, and didn't start to gain popularity until after the Nominations and wins at the Golden Globes. Your friends probably saw the Will Ferrell and Spiderman movies because they were mainstream and heavily promoted.
