Actually one of the original reasons for the formation of the Academy in the 1920s was to fight the influence of Labor Unions in the film industry. It was the Big Studio bosses who started it.

There is an award show for the Sheeple, called the People's Choice Awards.

Say what you will about the Academy, but if the Sheeple chose best picture, than most would choose sh-t like Jurassic Park or King Kong.

The Booboisie indeed.
