it gives the liberal-leaning Academy a great chance to stick its thumb in conservatives' eyes

The Oscars, the Pulitzers, the Booker Prizes, the Nobel Peace and Literature Prizes: they've all become nothing but opportunities for the reigning liberals to stick their thumbs in conservatives' eyes.

But not one of these prizes means a thing any more, as a result.

They need to run this slick, Hollywood beautified promo right along side random interviews from the Gay Rodeo in Austin, TX. Let me tell you, the real world will have you think "EEEWWWEEE" about gay cowboys!

I agree completely. My wife loves to watch them, but they mean nothing to me at all. I can't watch for more than a few minutes before being repulsed so bad I simply cannot continue to watch.

Clearly they're confused. People in the red states don't give a crap who wins those awards....we learned a long time ago that the quality of the movie is frequently inversely proportional to the amount of acclaim it gets from those people.
