There are far too many voters who are way past the age of seventy! The majority don't care for new ideas. They are very petty about criticism. That's why the acting contenders have to watch what they're saying, especially if they are one of the frontrunners, because the "in crowd" reacts so childishly!
And many younger voters don't really take the oscars, seriously! They know it's an "in-crowd", popularity contest, much as Woody Allen, and the late actors, George C. Scott and Marlon Brando described the orgy of self love.
And it's true about even former studio workers and insiders who don't even watch the show. For example, I attend a weekly meeting of about thirty five men, who discuss anything. Well, I asked how many watched the last oscars, and three, out of the thirty, raised their hand.
