I heard Alec Baldwin on Howard Stern talking about how he knows producers that control blocks of votes because elder Academy members grandfathered in from working on movies from the 60s and such that don't keep up ask who they should vote for. Not surprising, but also even more disheartening. Also studios have to actively campaign to win. It is all pretty sick.

Wait, there's a cabal of producers that vote for numerous elderly Academy voters who are too checked out on new movies to vote themselves? That's some Under the Silver Lake shit right there! Do they do their Oscar voting between an omelet and a blowjob?Quoting origami_mustache (view post)
