Anonymous Oscar Ballot: Producer Says Oscar Voters Tend Toward ‘Political Correctness’ and ‘Laziness’

With the nominations, everything followed the politically coolest version and will continue to do so. Any surprises will lean toward political correctness this year. We’re supposed to judge 100 per cent on merit, not 90 per cent and 10 per cent who is in the middle of a controversy [James Franco], who is deserving because their race or gender has been under-represented in the past.

The one fault the Academy has had in the last 10 or 15 years is not that it’s racist or gender-weighted. The biggest offense is that [Academy voters] are not doing their homework, not seeing the movies. There’s not a bias, there’s a tendency for laziness, to check the same old box, whether its Denzel Washington or Meryl Streep. Something needs to done to make sure the movies are seen!

They haven't seen A ghost story, that song should be on the nominated list, the script too. They haven't seen Maudie, they have nominated Sally Hawkins for her 2nd best performance of 2017.

The song isn’t eligible because wasn’t made for the film, anyway. Sally is amazing in Maudie. She’s good in everything, honestly

Oh, i had no idea it wasn't eligible, my 2 fav songs in movies of 2017 were not originals. I’m glad you saw Maudie :) , that performance took my breath away.
