Don't take it too seriously. The Academy Awards are very political and the principles actively campaign for uncle Oscar. It's a completely bogus award. The Golden Globes and The People's Choice are more credible and accurate.
You're right. But damnit, I've grown up watching this show, before it was so overtly politicized, and this kind of crap really ticks me off. I agree with you that other award shows may be more reflective (but then how does that explain the Mouline Rouge awards?), but they're not the freaking Oscars.
Just a young man's rantings. Hope Harvey Weinstein gets run over by a freaking truck and tastes his own blood.
