How Oscar nominees are chosen?

[bongo]

I am curious how the nominees of Oscars are chosen. How they decide? Is there a vote system?

The "in" crowd sucks each other off behind closed doors. It's a marketing gimic to nominate each other for crap.

yes vote system.

for a few minutes i naively believed due to skill but then i read about the winners and which films, just another way to reward people who poke jabs at christian values.

Sometimes it is who sent the best gifts to the judges. Sometimes it is who won it in the past and who has never won. Recently it is decided over which movie is the most politically correct. Rarely does the best movie win anymore.

The talent agencies WME and CAA hold the most power in Hollywood, they tell their clients who to vote for based on a political agenda that is dictated to them by the Democrat party. In the past, members of the Academy voted for who they thought gave the best performances.

Not knowing the full details of the Oscar franchise:
It's much like nepotism, where a closed community celebrates itself.

There’s a panel of actors, directors and producers. Meryl Streep has talked about being on the panel, some others. I mean…. they might be “industry experts”.

There is a panel of pedophiles that picks their favorite pedophiles. Turn off your TV. They are all evil people
