They do not care what the people paying for and funding these movies like and pay to see

No it doesn't defeat the purpose much at all. best picture should be voted on by the people not by some Hollywood elites.
they can have short films, sound editing , costume designs and all that jazz, best picture,actor and actress should be decided by the people wonder if the voting would have been different? plus your involving the very people your looking to get to the movies anyhow, allow them some ownership and watch your TV rings go much higher and much quicker.

"..best picture should be voted on by the people not by some Hollywood elites..."
That's what the People's Choice Awards are for. A S wasn't nominated there this year either, but it was on earlier so may not have been out long enough to have been noticed.

"..Hence their dismal ratings here you go hot off the press."
Dismal ratings? I think not, compared to all the other award shows.
Year after year, the Oscars are traditionally the top-rated entertainment program on TV – for instance, last night’s show beat the Grammy telecast on CBS two weeks ago by 50% in MM results. Despite the declines, the Oscars were the top-rated entertainment telecast in the 51 weeks since last year’s show. By comparison, the Oscars outdrew the Grammy Awards on CBS by 30% in 18-49 (10.8 vs. 8.3) and by 11.8 million total viewers (36.6 million vs. 24.8 million), and they topped the Golden Globe Awards on NBC by 86% in the demo and by 17.3 million total viewers (36.6 million vs. 19.3 million).
====
Part of this year’s decline could have to do with the fact that a lot of the big awards were handed out after 11 PM ET (It went to 11pm here in the Midwest would have been midnight in the east).
The audience for the last five Oscar telecasts has all had a median age of over 50, they don't tend to stay up that late lol

TC- I watched Stewart yesterday, and watched clips from FOX from last weekend- all your point came from them, verbatim (concerning liberal press, badm outhing other movies, etc) So FOX and their drums of hate, even extend to inanimate objects.

Tman I guess fox thinks alike, I can assure you my thoughts are mine, I don't copy fox or anyone else. It is so easy to see, the press is Liberial for the most part and not many of such saw or like the idea of propping up a war hero as some like to lay claim to Chris Kyle, that movie never had a chance after nomination . just factual. Pam the decline is all about disconnect with people here in the US not time slot or they would have started earlier  Nominations far different process than the final voting. |

I'm just saying I was surprised that you kept harping on the liberal media, denying your movie all the awards and how Hollywood was deliberately keeping this movie down, and then found FAUX had spoken those same words a week before

It isn't had to figure it out. Really.

Not odd at all for the sake of 300 million they will allow movies as such to be made, but yet after the money is in the bank they then proceed to bad mouth the person and ideas behind such LOL. That is called a major disconnect but money talks easy to see been going on for years.

This shows the reason as to why easy enough.
Donations by Media Companies Tilt Heavily to Obama
By AMY CHOZICK AUGUST 22, 2012 12:37 PM August 22, 2012 12:37 pm
Wall Street may lean Republican this presidential election cycle, but the New York media world is staunchly Democratic.
All the major media companies, driven largely by their Hollywood film and television businesses, have made larger contributions to President Obama than to his rival, former Gov. Mitt Romney, according to the Center for Responsive Politics, a nonprofit, nonpartisan Washington-based research group that publishes the Open Secrets Web site.
The center’s numbers represent donations by a company’s PAC and any employees who listed that company as their employer.
Even companies whose news outlets are often perceived as having a conservative bias have given significantly more money to Mr. Obama. Rupert Murdoch’s News Corporation, for example, has contributed $58,825 to Mr. Obama’s campaign, compared with $2,750 to Mr. Romney. The conglomerate, which owns Fox News, The Wall Street Journal, The New York Post and the 20th Century Fox studios, gave roughly the same amount to Mr. Romney’s Republican primary competitors Rick Perry and Ron Paul as it did to Mr. Romney.
But the choice of Representative Paul Ryan, the conservative congressman from Wisconsin, to be Mr. Romney’s running mate, might help win News Corporation dollars. Shortly after Mr. Romney’s announcement, Mr. Murdoch took to Twitter: “Thank God! Now we might have a real election on the great issues of the day. Paul Ryan almost perfect choice.”
Mr. Murdoch has not been shy about expressing his criticism of Mr. Romney, including at a tense Journal editorial board meeting with the candidate that led the newspaper’s opinion pages to characterize Mr. Romney as Consultant in Chief. The announcement that Mr. Ryan would join the ticket came after The Journal’s editorial page published a column titled “Why Not Paul Ryan?”
News Corporation has donated $504,162 to individuals, Super PACs and candidates in 2012, according to the Center for Responsive Politics’s OpenSecrets Web site. Eight of the 10 top recipients of that cash are Democrats. (Mr. Murdoch’s personal contributions largely favor Republicans, though his wife, Wendi Murdoch, has donated to Senator Kirsten Gillibrand, a Democrat from New York.)
In 2008, News Corporation contributed $380,558 to Mr. Obama’s campaign, compared with $32,740 to the Republican nominee John McCain.
Other media companies have contributed more significantly to Mr. Obama, including Time Warner, owner of CNN and the magazine publishing house Time Inc. The company, which is based in New York and also owns Warner Brothers and HBO, has contributed $191,834 to Mr. Obama in the 2012 election cycle, compared with $10,750 to Mr. Romney. The Walt Disney Company, owner of ABC and ESPN, donated $125,856 to Mr. Obama and $9,950 to Mr. Romney.
Philadelphia-based Comcast Corporation, owner of NBCUniversal and one of the biggest spenders in lobbying money in Washington, has given $206,056 to Mr. Obama and $20,500 to Mr. Romney.
Each of these media companies were among the roughly 150 organizations listed by the Center for Responsive Politics as “heavy hitters” that have given the most money. The New York Times Company was not among the center’s “heavy hitters” and does not have a PAC; the newspaper discourages employees from contributing to political campaigns.
Despite the media money pouring in to his opponent, Mr. Romney and the Republican National Committee still have a significant cash advantage over Mr. Obama and the Democrats. According to a Federal Election Commission report released Monday, the GOP had $186 million on hand, compared with $124 million for Democrats.

TC did you see any of the other movies, or are you basing your opinion solely on the hero reputation of Chris Kyle?
Cheers,
