Really, their first interest is themselves. They want their revenue. More Oscar nominated films making money from the nominations doesn't help the Academy directly. Higher ratings, and higher cost commercial slots do.

  - Don't they get royalties on every DVD that says "Nominated for Best Picture"? -- nm - Beryllium Jun 24, 10:53
