The Oscars is Hollywood's prom and Best Picture is the Prom King. It's a popularity contest.
- PaulDavisThe1st 4y agoTrue, but at least its a popularity contest among peers. As noted elsewhere in the comments here, actors vote on the best actors, etc.
- donmaq 4y agoNominations are by peers. Overall winners are voted on by the entire academy, & thus often a popularity contest.
