well unfortunately, academy awards are not actually won on merit...they are campaigned for. every year even the worst movies send out packages marked "for your consideration" to the members of the academy, from there on out it's a political gig of who shows up to what parties to campaign for their Oscar. I think that's why Sean said: "believe me I know how hard i make it for you to appreciate me" which roughly translates to: "I'm not an ass kisser so I'm surprised I won."

and ya wanna know how the Oscars all got started int he first place? it was a Public Relations move..there was a huge drop in theater attendance so they decided to have an awards show to get people intersted in going to the movies again. it worked and we still have the academy awards today. So you are more than correct when you call it a circle jerk. it really is.
