Mycket av kritiken mot årets filmer från American Family Association, Concerned Women for America, osv (se föregående post), är att filmindustrin har en politisk agenda - men att inte hylla AFAs socialpolitik är inte nödvändigtvis att själv ha en (normalfördelningen brukar vara 1/3 för, 1/3 emot och 1/3 andra uppfattningar). Kort sagt: att Hollywood är out of touch med medel-Amerika.
George Clooney (bästa manliga biroll och nominerad som manusförfattare och regissör till Good Night, and Good Luck) svarade:
"And finally, I would say that, you know, we are a little bit out of touch in Hollywood every once in a while. I think it's probably a good thing. We're the ones who talk about AIDS when it was just being whispered, and we talked about civil rights when it wasn't really popular. And we, you know, we bring up subjects. This Academy, this group of people gave Hattie McDaniel an Oscar in 1939 when blacks were still sitting in the backs of theaters. I'm proud to be a part of this Academy. Proud to be part of this community, and proud to be out of touch."
"It won't last very long, but we've done this on and off." "We did it in the 30's, we did it in the 50's, we certainly did it in the 60's and 70's and we'll probably continue to do that, which is reflect society, not truly lead it."
