FOXNews.com - FOX Fan - Father Jonathan - An Open Letter to Hollywood: "That's why I'm announcing today the first annual We the People awards. There's only one criterion: whether audiences actually wanted to go see the movies. Revolutionary! Drum roll, please the We the People (WTP) award winners for this year are:
1 Star Wars III: Revenge of the Sith: $380 million gross (1st place for the year), 1 nomination
2 Harry Potter and the Goblet of Fire: $288 million (2nd place for the year), 1 nomination
3 The Chronicles of Narnia: The Lion, the Witch and the Wardrobe: $288 million (3rd place for the year), 3 nominations
4 War of the Worlds: $234 million (4th place for the year), 3 nominations
Oh, look, I think I see a pattern. None of these movies glorifies homosexuality ('Brokeback,' 'Capote'), squeezes in 182 expletives ('Crash'), bashes McCarthyism ('Good Night') and America in general ('Syriana' 2 nominations) or features subject matter unmentionable in this column ('Geisha,' 'Transamerica' 2 nominations). In a word, none of them is propaganda. Maybe that's why we wanted to go see them.
So it's agreed, thenyou have your awards ceremony and we'll have ours."
Father Jonathan nails it again. All the awards did this year was reward trash for making trash that they couldnt get the people to go and see with all the hype and hooplah that Hollywood has to offer. Go and read the rest of this article... Very well said.
