wannabuyamonkey said:The president of teh Academy seems to have forgotten that too when he said that the Oscars represent teh views of society, if that's true, why isn't society watching the film. It's a foolish artist who thinks the only reason his art is unpopular is because socitey "doesn't get it".

I've alwayse viewed the Oscars as being the same as the Yearbook Comitee in High-Schhol. It's where all the self=proclaimed popular kids sit arround and give themselves awards.



I honestly doubt the president said what you say he said. Your powers of interpratation can be dazzling. If it matters I'm sure you sincerely feel that is what he meant & I'll even try to check out a transcript when one comes available.

There are over 6000 members of the Academy. Most of them won't ever see an Oscar so I don't see how even the yearbook comparison is realistic.

Fair play!
