How does the Academy pick the winners of the Oscar's?
139543
The 6000 members of the Academy see the films and they vote.\n\nThe members are people who work for the Motion Picture industry so in that respect they are experts in what makes a good actor, director, script, score, film, etc. Aside from that, it is just their opinion. They vote for their favorite movie or performance etc. That's it.

Producers acquire the rights to the film, recruits and hires the writers, director and other talent, often finances the film in hopes of making more money than they put in, and often solves a lot of the technical and logistical problems that happen on a creative project.\n\nLink below has more information:

Its just completely random. They just pick any one's answer that is kinda standing out and make it go there.

Yes, I would have to agree with those that say Johnny Depp, though I do not think winning an Oscar is a priority for Mr. Depp judging by the roles/performances that he has picked.

You can also try guessing what's going to happen in upcoming events (sporting events, awards shows, etc.). Make a poll with the options and set it to show the ID next to the person's votes so you can tell who got it right.

good performance, that's sure...\nSome kind of change between the actor and performance... And not be the main character in big box office movie, Academy prefers movies which give you more and movies which make you think about something :) So, I don't know, George Clooney was asking in his speech this year when he won supporting actor how they can compare it... \nIt is difficult to say :) But I am sure there are many qualifications which I didn't mention :)

Joquain Phoenix will probably get it.  I hope he will.  I saw "Walk the Line" and thought he did an amazing job.  At times, I forgot it was him and believed it was actually Johnny Cash.\nI'm sure Johnny Depp will get nominated again.  And for the third year in a row, will get passed over.\nHeath Ledger will get nominated.  There's a lot of buzz around "Brokeback Mountain".\nThen they'll go for the usual unknown.  The Academy likes to put an indie or foregin actor to apease those groups.\nThe fifth nominee will be someone to tug the heartstrings.  Someone who is older and been nominated, if not won, before.

I thought the Grammy's were for giving out awards for music. All I saw were a handful of good performances followed by a bunch of crappy performances and about 5 awards given out. What gives?

I really liked the movie. It was an excellent feat for the actors involved. I believe it was not nominated because it would have split the Oscar vote between it and Brokeback, and the Academy wants Brokeback to win the Oscar - which it probably will.

Talk to your S-1 (personnel section).  They should have plenty of copies of already submitted and approved awards.

I've asked this question twice already and barely anyone responded. STAR WARS all the way!!! It should win for best fight (Anakin vs. Obi-Wan), hero (Obi-Wan), and villian (Anakin). I was so depressed after they lost to Narnia!! That was the entire reason why I watched the Academy Awards, to watch Star Wars win. But no they don't and all they got nominated for is MAKEUP!!! I was furios. Now I absolutely hate the oscars. they're fake and stupid. the movies that TRULY deserved to win didn't. Anyways...that's just my opinion.I've already voted hundreds of times!!\n \nGO STAR WARS!!!
