Winfrey and Redford!!!

[bersaguy]

I was watching that 30 minute talk show Inside Hollywood and news program that runs before the 5Pm local news and they were talking about how upset Oprah Winfrey was for not getting a nomination or close to getting one for her role in the movie "The Butler". She said she was disappointed that her name was not even in the race. I loved listening to her whine and cry but the people spoke and made their point about how they feel about her. She is to stupid to realized it was not her acting but here politics that kept the people from voting for her. The same thing happened to Robert Redford. Never got a nod for a roll he play in a movie this past year. I don't recall the movie name but folks said the movie was a great one but still didn't give Redford even a nod. He made his politics clear and the people listened. These actors are going to have to get use to 2 facts. If they want to continue working in Hollywood in movies they will have to stay very liberal. If they do they will act but they will not get awards. They can either sell their souls to the Devil and work or become a respected pillar back in society and become a dedicated patriot. But they won't get both ever again on any awards that We the People vote on............jmho.  Also I will not go to any movie that any one stars in that has sold their souls to the Devil just to work. There have been a lot of actors and actresses that are not able to find work any longer because they will not go liberal and they have openly admitted that is why they cannot find work in Hollywood. Those folks I admire for their stance and if any do find work I will go see their movies.............jmho

Just out of curiosity, but does anyone here participate in any of these celebrity/awards voting/selection/nominating contests?  I know so little about popular culture that I'm not really sure how to pose the question correctly.

I have been invited to vote in the Peoples Choice Awards a few times. In all honesty I'm not sure how they make the choices on who votes but I just get a ballot in my google email ever so often and if I have seen the movie they are asking about or see the actor/actress in other recent movies they want your opinions on their acting and would you nominate them for the Peoples Choice Award.

I don't get your point. Both Winfrey and Redford are political leftists and are at no risk of being overlooked for awards because of their politics. The ones who risk ostracism in the film industry are those who dare to voice conservative viewpoints, such as Jon Voight.
