I think it has to be said that an Oscar is no longer held in much regard by anyone these days.
The simple fact that a bunch of turds decide what is and isnt good enough, counts for little when you consider bums in seats.

I am sure Warner would rather take the money earned by Dark Knight over a shitty golden statue.

You have to say, its the public who have already decided which is the best movie etc of the year, as they are the ones who voted with their wallets at both the cinema and the DVD outlets!

Fuck the oscars, its a pile of Snarf!
