Nope. The Oscars are decided by the 6,000+ voting members of the 17 branches of the Academy of Motion Pictures and Sciences.

Yep we have no vote

[stlavin95]

No we don't

[Jen's Herald]

if you lobby [read: buy stuff for, stroke their ego] enough of those 6,000 members, you can win yourself a nice gold trophy.

[miranstarr]

Oh yes. I remember everyone hating on Anne Hathaway for lobbying, but she hasn't been the only one who has done it.

[Jen's Herald]

how is lobbying yourself for a gold statue, any different than paying $50,000 to the Los Angeles Chamber Of Commerce for a star on the Walk Of Fame, yup that's how they do it. smh. you should be voted in by the People, not pay your way like CHEATriots***** Shady paying refs and deflating footballs, or Orange Faced Trump buying his ridiculous star on the walk, even though he is not a SAG, DGA, AFTRA, WGA, or AAMPSC card holder. disgusting.

BRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRR!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! It's freezing cold here. It was -20°F (-28°C) with a windchill of -48°F (-44°C). They've closed schools this whole week and suspended mail service. I can't wait for this to go away.

[stlavin95]

Wow, that's cold

no, most of the A-list actor's $50K fees are paid by their rep/agent/agency as a way of promoting their client and getting name recognition in other arenas. it's really only the hacks like trump that pay their own way. even though he had a moderately successful reality show, trump was almost universally panned, despised, and reviled by most of hollywood, and this was before he belly-flopped into politics. ugh.
