    Bloomberg should do a statistical analysis of the correlation between the amount spent and the likelihood of winning an Oscar. That is, is there a correlation between spending more and having a greater likelihood of winning an Oscar?
  • @roxy5588
    It costs millions to win a Oscar. You have to run a smart campaign that is very convincing and pitching those people to see your movie. Getting nominated is one of the biggest challenges as well.
  • @alimfuzzy
    A lot of actors who have been nominated have said theyve lost work because they now command more money. Not sure how that works, maybe their agents stop accepting lesser paying roles or its just perception that they need more pay and dont offer roles to rhem. It's a double edged sword.
  • @edum.6353
    the fact that this entire video is an AD to remind us that the oscars still exist is mind-blowing. I forgot about the oscars long time ago.
  • @jimysk8er
    how could they possibly rationalize a single academy member voting on a movie they haven't watched. That should be the bare minimum to even have your vote count for something. You are literally voting on an artistic media. You wouldn't expect a judge in a sculpture contest to base themselves off of the pamphlet at the giftshop!

  • @shmookins
    What I like about such awards is they tell me about smaller productions that I didn't know about.
