(Waits a beat.) Clinton lying about sex was more salacious, but utterly inoffensive and excusable as it wasn't anybody's business. Nixon broke laws that actually matter. And no, I'm neither a liberal nor a democrat. I think that film would suck.

A film's marketing budget from the very beginning plays a huge part as well. So if you're going to say that studios shouldn't be allowed to put out "For Your Consideration" ads then where do you stop? A movie in the public eye is still in the industry's eye... so the movie with the most money behind it will always have a better chance. Unless your little movie comes out at the end of the year, is really really good, and gets some buzz behind it early...

That's absurd even for you. This trend of buying the Oscars started in earnest - or ramped up - about a decade ago, and it's changed the game ever since. Hand shaking in back rooms turned into massive campaigns where the dollar is king. It's hurt the awards to such a degree that the public can even tell that it's basically rigged. Simply put, buying the Oscars has delegitamized the whole show. Also, Nixon is far more interesting than Clinton. Also, also, "in the tank?" Someone read Wonkette! Kudos, Neil. Come on, Hunter.

I find that hard to believe. How much do you want to bet that a movie never garners the same type of coverage of Clinton and the Lewenski scandel and his lying to a Fedral Judge, thus causing impeachment to be attempted, something that never happened to Nixon? Liberal media Trade publications and MSM Papers all over a movie critical of a Republican President who faced impeachment?? I find that hard to believe.
