[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Oscar voters overwhelmingly white, male http://www.latimes.com/entertainment/news/movies/academy/la-et-unmasking-oscar-academy-project-html,0,7473284.htmlstory[/quote] I think this is the answer. Most voters only vote in their category (i.e. sound editors only vote for the award in sound editing), but everyone votes in the acting awards. Most voters are old white guys that probably didn't like the Help, which seems like a chickflick. That probably hurt Viola Davis, because voters aren't likely to vote for actors in movies they didn't like. Also, I wouldn't be surprised if a bunch of them didn't even bother seeing the movie, especially if they are busy working on a movie right now. Honestly, I wouldn't be surprised if a bunch didn't see either movie and voted for Streep based on reputation. [/quote]
