I haven't watched ANY awards show in thirty years, and I certainly won't be giving the Oscars any time. Undoubtedly all the people who choose the winners get together beforehand and decide the winners on the basis of political correctness. To wit which movie or role best promotes the major tenets of liberalism. The Grammys proved that with the selection of the talentless Ditzy Clucks, and I'm willing to bet Al Gore will get one for docs. It's in the bag.
There are about 6,000 Academy members. The votes are tabulated by a hired accounting firm. And the Best Picture winners generally tend toward the conservative side.
