Welcome CHUD Folks to Danco_2000's Wishful Thinking Thread, the first
for 2008.
We were right there cheering for the Writer's working the picket
lines. A lot of people don't know this, but it's a lot of work in manning a
picket line. It takes a lot of discipline to walk around in a circle while
holding up a sign. Of course in the long run, the hard efforts makes the
pay-off that much better when your union leader gets your demands met.
Even though the Screen & TV Writer's Strike is over, we of the
Danco2000's Think Tank felt that we would do something more, ... just for
our pieces of mind. We felt that many of the films viewed by us throughout
the past year, should have been nominated for the 2008 Oscars, but
were not. That's why we boycotted the airing of the 2008 Oscars by not
watching it. Granted, ... the ones nominated probably deserve their chance
in the spot light. We just felt, ... that there were more movies not mentioned,
that should have been.
The Academy or it's affiliations hardly ever offer an explanation to how or
why they chose the winners in the past. But this year they did respond with
a verbal-text message. For example, we caught the following text message
shown at the end of the Oscars airing by accident. We had forgotten what
time it was because we were still partying, celebrating the NY Giants
long-shot win. (One of our Think Tank members had fooled D'Anco in
naming the wininer the Friday before the game.) :
"All members of the Academy who are eligible are invited to vote their
nominations for the Best Film.
In most other categories, the nominations are decided by a vote of the
members working in that specific category. Then the entire membership
chooses from those nominations the recipients of the Academy Awards.
In the Documentary, Short film and Foreign Language Film categories,
only those members who attend special screenings may vote.
And finally, the results of all the secret voting are known only to the
independent accounting firm of PricewaterhouseCoopers until the sealed
envelopes are opened on the air." --- the Academy
You know, ... this whole Oscar Nomination process really reminds us
of the 2008 Presidential Race .
"All Americans eligible are invited to vote for their Party nominations
for US President.
In each of the states in the US, the Democratic Presidential nominations are
decided by a vote of the People for that specific Presidential Party, or until
the event of a popular vote tie between two candidates. Then the entire
National Democratic Super Delegates choose from the ones running for
nomination, the recipient of the Presidential Academy Award.
In the Republican Party, only Super Delegates who attend Special
Republican Caucuses in all states vote.
And finally, the results of all the special Republican Super Delegates secret
voting in every state, are known only to the controlling Independent Special
Interest Firm before the Average Republican Voter is informed on the air."

It's been a while since the last post. So we'll try our best to provide the kind
of posts that even a News Anchor on Cable/Satellite won't touch (or can't).
Enjoy!!!
