Movies Go Political

Here's a rather interesting comment from The Hollywood Reporter:

Hollywood has always worn its liberal politics on its sleeve, from 1976's "All the President's Men" and 1979's "Norma Rae" to 2002's "Bowling for Columbine." With Tuesday's crop of Oscar contenders, though, politics have never been more front and center.

"What all these films have in common is they're about the human condition," said Oscar-nominated "Crash" co-writer Bobby Moresco. "The pendulum has swung back to movies about politics. People want films that have something to say; they're tired of fluff."

Really.Check out the top grossing movies of 2005.Do you see many that were nominated for an Oscar?? Good luck on the ratings this year because as you can see the top 20 movies of the year have largely been ignored.
