YourEvilTwin 1,379 Posted February 29, 2016 Share Posted February 29, 2016 Only the names of the songs and the films they are from were written on the ballot, not the songwriters. Chances are, most the voters simply put a check to the only song and movie they had heard of. This is why I can't take the Oscars seriously. There's simply no way to hold the voters responsible and make sure they have actually seen/heard all the nominated works before they cast the vote. More often than now, they cast their vote for reasons other than the merit of the candidates. This is the inherent problem with any popular vote system.

Dangerous Man 9,245 Posted February 29, 2016 Share Posted February 29, 2016 Well, just like the rest of award shows. That's why i don't treat award shows seriously even the grammy.

YourEvilTwin 1,379 Posted February 29, 2016 Author Share Posted February 29, 2016 Just now, Stellar said: They have to listen to each song, you know. No they don't. In principle they should, but with 7,000 members in the academy, everything has to operate on faith. Mind you, Hollywood types are not exactly known for integrity.
