Well, sure, that's an idea. But then why would they give the movie Oscars for Best Original Screenplay and Best Director? Because they hated it?

Here's a theory: I think the loss had more to do with people rebelling against the notion that they were SUPPOSED to vote for it. How many times do you hear people saying how much they hated a movie after everyone else says they loved it? And when you ask why they hated it, it's because they say it was because of all the hype. I honestly think a lot of people resent being told they SHOULD like something, so they go in with the idea that they are going to be DIFFERENT and NOT like it. For the record, I really don't like that kind of person.
