But before we conclude that Tinsel Town has learned its lesson about alienating the public, let’s remember the films nominated (which, granted, is tough considering that nobody saw them).
These were films that sympathized with terrorists, demonized capitalism, and turned uniquely American icons into subversive sexual punch lines. These were films that led to lowest box-office receipts in decades and the second-worst Oscar ratings since 1987. No matter how much velvet the Academy wraps its agenda in, its clear the public now knows the truth.
Hollywood wants to hammer us.
