Hello welcome back all my of my 6 readers.Today I'd like to talk once again about the Oscars. Now the problem that has occurred is over a song nominee.One of the songs nominated is now being disqualified. The reason why it's being disqualified though is because it went against the rules of the academy. Even though I never seen it directly stated apparently you can't send the song with email during the vote process. Though I understand why the person did this because they obviously just want to be recognized by the academy. As a filmmaker and a student this teaches you how to market your things correctly. Marketing is definitely key in a big business like film making. Do you think the punishment was just the right amount or could the academy relax on the issue? Was it fair for all the other people trying to get nominated?

THE ACADEMY!!!
I believe this a good article to write about because I have always wondered who determined the Oscars. There are exactly 5,675 members who decide who takes home that golden award. The part that bothered me though is that 94% of the members are white. This can be bad for future directors if they want to win. The last thing we want are biased people in the academy. Even worse 74% of the academy is men. I believe that the academy should be 50% women and 50% men. It's important to know this especially for people who want to be big in Hollywood.
As a consumer we think what ever the academy nominates is good. So we go out and see or buy that film. Without us even knowing the people behind the academy are actually making decisions for us. I believe we should have stricter rules on who can be in the academy. I also want to know how people apply to be in the academy. There should be some way that we can gather all the cultures to be in the academy. One last thing is that I'd love to see younger people in the academy. Sadly there is only a very little amount of people under 40. Only about 4% is under 40.
